Hi Bob
You're welcome.
I love Alberta, going there for an Oilers games this weekend actually. Cheap gas, cheap beer, and a wild west attitude make Alberta great lol
For many years Alberta has been a 'have' province, with oil money pouring in and people from all over Canada going to Alberta to work in construction or on the rigs. Now their economy is slowing down, and people are moving back to their home provinces. I live in SK, and in my memory we have always been a 'have not' province. Every year more and more people left the province, mostly to go to Alberta or BC to work.
That has all changed in the last year or so. Alberta's economy is predicted to keep slowing, while SK leads 4 other provinces in growth. I kinda remember hearing about some Albertans that were pushing for separation a while ago, but I don't think anything will come of it. They are not quite as oil-rich as they have been in the past, and I believe if it came down to a vote it would be 'No' to separation.
Just my opinion
