For the past 20 years there has been much controversy regarding western separation. This began when Trudeo introduced a new tax on oil. He thought that if Alberta was going to get any money out of their hard work that the rest of the country should have a right to the money as well. This raises some questions: “Does the east even care about us? Or just our precious oil?” “Why should the East have control over the West’s resources and why don’t we have any say in anything that goes on” “Why doesn’t Quebec have to pay any royalties on any of the electricity they export to the United States? After all they export more electricity than the west does of oil.” The West has strongly hated the East ever since. If we are part of this country then why don’t we have any say in anything? Maybe the west should just take their oil and form a new country. Why should Albertans pay taxes on the oil that they pull out of the ground? All of these taxes are a huge drain from Alberta’s economy. If Alberta and possibly Saskatchewan separated from the rest of the country and formed their own country, then it would be the richest in the world. Right now as it is, mainly Alberta is supplying the entire world with oil. If
If Alberta and possibly B.C. separated into their own country, (lets just call it the Republic Of Alberta) it would be the richest country in the world. In the R.O.A there would be no other provinces (i.e. the east) to sponge off of it’s booming economy. The R.O.A. could make their own laws: keeping the west in mind the whole time. The standard of living would increase dramatically, there would be no more scummy areas like 118th AVE. in Edmonton. The healthcare would improve. Children would have better schools to go to, making them smarter and better people. If Alberta was in charge of its own resources, we could sell them at a much lower cost while still making and keeping a lot of money.
