🇨🇦 Alberta separatists hit petition deadline while Ottawa bleeds the province dry

The independence referendum campaign just reached its signature collection deadline, and whether they hit their numbers or not, the sentiment is real. Alberta sends billions east every year through equalization while watching Trudeau kill pipelines, ban tankers, and virtue-signal on oil and gas. The province gets lectured on climate by Quebec, which takes Alberta's money and pretends its hydroelectricity makes it morally superior.

Separatism isn't fringe when the federal government treats your economy like a piggy bank and your energy sector like a sin. Confederation only works when it's mutual. Right now it's extraction. The West wants out because Ottawa made staying in a losing deal.
