A network of inauthentic YouTube channels posing as Albertan voices is spreading misleading content about separation and U.S. annexation, reaching tens of millions of viewers, according to a new report.
Medical care is a provincial issue, blame your province not the federal government
Also as a Ukrainian Canadian, I don’t think you have any idea about how close the two nations are and essentially how many Ukrainians are your neighbours if you live in the west.
Yes medial care is provincial - but Alberta’s beef is that we send billions out east and dont get any of it back. If we didn’t have to send it, we could have billions to spend on our own services. Meanwhile other provinces (not mentioning any names, eh, Quebec?) take billions every year while playing the ‘have not’ province game because they dont count their rich hydro electric as a resource in the equalization formula. We’re being gamed and everyone, including Ottawa, knows it but they dont want to piss off Quebecers and lose their votes so they keep this unfair system going.

Except that pipeline that Trudeau built for Alberta.
Or the health transfers that Trudeau was trying to send to the provinces, but every conservative provincial government rejected it because the feds wanted guarantees that the money would be specifically used for Healthcare and nothing else.
And those are only 2 of the biggest ones in recent years.
Ok, the use of “any” isn’t accurate. We dont get MOST of it back. We send about 20 billion a year more to Ottawa than we get back. Compared to what Ottawa takes, the “gift” of a pipeline isn’t exactly altruistic of Ottawa considering the billions in tax revenue it generates.
I think the West is just fed up with sending billions back to Ottawa in exchange for nothing.
For example… Ottawa has given away $25.5 billion to Ukraine. Think how many hospitals or walk in clinics that could build nationwide
This is the train of thought of westerners right now
