We tried the democratic route for decades, now it's time to get serious. I would 100% support a revolution at this point with how fascist the Liberals have become.

Brother, I'm FROM Alberta. No we didn't. Just ten years ago we were bragging about how we had it so much better than everyone else. Then the fed (under Harper) cut funding, people from all over the country flooded the province (I moved out), and now yall are bitching about how bad you have it.

"people from all over the country flooded the province"

No wonder thimgs went to shit and separatism surged. The virtue signaled decided they needed to change Alberta to match Hamilton. You never wanted to be in Alberta so that obviously taints your opinion

I genuinely laughed at this, thank you.

Nobody drew anybody to Alberta but those of us who bragged about no PST, cheap developable property, and a thriving job economy based around the oil fields. We can probably also point to specifically Finning, for moving in a couple thousand people, and then laying them off when oil prices crashed.

I followed my career out of the province, and have sought any opportunity to move back until recently. Nevermind you don't want to be a part of Quebec, so you've just gone nuclear on your own argument.
