Excellent show - as an Albertan - I am much more sympathetic with Quebec’s aspirations then I was before. We both now know we are dealing with utter criminals running Ottawa. That will never ever support our interests, or share our desires. Quebec has proven this over and over. Why people are fearfully of separation I will never understand Alberta and Western Canada need to separate and leave this one way toxic relationship.
