Alberta is far different from any of the other provinces. For one, we're debt-free. The first one ever. Second, you Americans should respect us. Much of your oil comes from us. (we have MASSIVE oil reserves here.) And if a petition started to seperate Alberta from Canada, I would vote for it. Alberta gives about $3 billion to the federal government each year, and canada gives Quebec about that much. Alberta would have MUCH more money if it was seperated from Canada.
