I wrote a letter to Jason Kenney last Thursday explaining the many reasons for a referendum on Alberta leaving Canada, i have to admit it was some of my finest writing.
Still no response from the premier.

We're anything but cowards for wanting to go into the great unknown and face the world as a small, landlocked country. It MIGHT be dumb but cowardly it is not. And it's not all about guns. It's not all about pipelines. It's not all about equalization. It's about the future and how socialist, aging ROC is going to bleed Alberta dry in the next few decades. Then you will be happy because those uppity Albertans will have been cut down to size. Stockholm Syndrome much? Did you vote Liberal? Maybe Green? Have fun with your shrinking CPP payouts once Alberta's young and wealthy population stops paying into it.

I can assure you, I am neither a clown or a coward - your really don’t know me, but how could you?
I want to save our guns, as you do, but I’d like much more then that too. I’m not just about guns, in fact that’s just a small portion of what I’d like to change about our government.
Living in Alberta and Saskatchewan has always meant not having a voice in Ottawa. If you lived here, where I do, you’d know how people feel - they’re angry and frustrated. We want change.
Maybe you’re correct in your assertion that separation is implausible; it still makes me feel better to be a member of Wexit. It may be just a fantasy but I can dream while I try to effect other changes.
Why do you assume people who join Wexit have thrown in the towel anyways? I sure haven’t!
I do feel like a person without a country now. I live on the landmass of Canada and am a member of Wexit.

Yes, the repo yards here where I live are full of $100,000 pickup trucks that formerly owned by all those young and Rich albertans. Tell me more!
You've already spent way too much energy on this. It is implausible. It will never, ever happen. Grow up. Get on with things. And yes, it is cowardice. I don't care how frustrated you are by the current climate. I don't care that you didn't get the election results you wanted. I don't care that you don't feel like you're a part of Canada. Here's a terrifying thought : you are Canadian. You don't turn tail and run. You regroup, and you get ready for the next election.
I didn't get the election result I wanted either. And for the record I voted CPC despite the party not reflecting many of my value. There isn't one single party anywhere in Canada that reflects all of my values. I had to compromise. As do we all. But I did it because this is an important issue to me. So, no, I didn't get the result I wanted. But I'm going to Stand My Ground . This isn't even the country of my birth, but it's important to me. I'm a CF veteran. I believe this country is worth fighting for. And so should you.
And I don't need to rely on CPP. Thank you. I won't spend my Autumn years with my hat in my hands begging Ottawa for money, unlike you so-called Sovereign citizens of the Prairies hahaha

Probably because he assumes you're another separatist crackpot.
Ever heard of a divorce?

Agreed. But you know what's really terryfying? Reading this thread. You are absolutely right, and one of the sane people commenting here. Unfortunately, I realize other very vocal individuals are not ready to do any real-world, adult things to keep their guns. They will babble about some dystopian fantasies but won't be of any help if we are to regroup achieve something.
All this Alex Jones conspiracy bull#### would be laughable if it wasn't ruining our chances to remain credible. It's the best thing that could happen to those who oppose guns because it proves their point.
Where did you copy this from ?
Just a point for all the people saying the west would be screwed if they separated, here's a reality check for you: a country with the agricultural resources of Saskatchewan, the oil, mineral and (bit of timber) of Alberta, and the timber and mineral resources of BC with access to the pacific would be a powerful and rich country, without a doubt. If the west formed a new republic, we would be just fine without the east.

It could be the wealthiest per capita country in the world. But unless BC evicts the lower mainland, they will not have the votes to join us. Vancouverites, by and large, have a severe dislike of Albertans. I should know, I grew up and went to university there. Then I came to the dark side ;-)

Me thinks that BCreserveMP doth protest too much. He's whistling past the graveyard of confederation, is all. Just venting his frustration, as the thought of Western self-determination evidently gets his panties all in a bunch. As for any talk of cowardice and foolishness, well that is just laughable. There are plenty of courageous and highly intelligent folks behind the Wexit movement, make no mistake about that. Stupidity is ignoring the reality and results of Western alienation. It's OK that people like BCreserveMP don't want anything to do with Wexit. Chances are that those involved in Wexit would want nothing to do with the likes of him either!

Hey, don't lump the whole lower mainland together. Everything west of Slurrey went Conservative in the election. Abbotsford and Chilliwack especially are very solidly conservative. I think we'd just have to kick out everything from Slurrey westward. And probably Vanisle and the gulf islands, due to the hippies.

I think they biggest problem in politics right now is that you can't please both the rest and the West.
They're interests are contradictory.
They're are hereby in Quebec and Ontario that believe, legitimately, that Alberta is an immoral province, because it's based on oil.
And Oil is killing the planet.
Therefore if Alberta is punished for participating in this great evil of the oil industry, they deserve it for guy having "better" jobs. They want the oil industry to die and to keep the oil "in the ground" forever, and if the Alberta economy tanks, it's true own fault for not "transitioning" earlier and participating in the "6th mass extinction". Alberta deserves to be punished.
They wish vote Tory which is just adding icing on the cake of evil.
The east does not care of Alberta dies, even when they take the 20 billion in equalization payments from oil money to fund their healthcare and social services.
They want Alberta to either change radically, or simply to end and be "dragged into the modern age kicking and Screaming"
Albertans obviously don't want their economy to collapse and want to do the organdy thing and, you know, transport oil by pipeline instead of two and furnish the country with the resources or needs new instead of trying to become an impossible utopian Paradise we literally don't have the technology for yet.
One side wants to not become destitute
The other wants to punish Alberta for having the temerity to have oil.
The Liberals have become the party of Montreal and Toronto. Cities that don't want to know how the sausage is made, but want to ban all food because they heard it's evil
