Nothing like a good ol' fight over "oil and taxes"
What would it actually look like if you moved the "spirit" of the Quebec separatist movement to Alberta, added a devolution clause to the constitution which would give the Wild Rose province their own powers and parliament, while refusing [federally] to use Alberta's oil-tax windfall to help families and companies in the area cope with crippling fuel prices? It would probably look like this.
Nasty. And you thought Harper et al. had problems.
