I don't know about this unity stuff but most provinces were against Alberta for many year and now they want to put it in front to shield themself from bullets ..... it wasn't team Canada before , but now it is
"nobody came to the rescue of Alberta"??? The oil price crashed in 2014-2015...most of the economic activity at the time was building/expanding of sands operations. That STOPPED abruptly, multinationals left, sold their assets on the cheap to canadian companies....(there's a silver lining there somewhere).
The federal government kicked in 1.7 BILLION dollars to clean up orphaned/abandoned wells to EMPLOY LAID OFF OIL WORKERS. Eventually Ottawa spent 34 BILLION dollars to build TMX.
What is it you want??? I'm in BC, nobody "comes to the rescue" when the lumber industry crashes every ten years or so. Albertans have a persecution complex....they teach it in grade school I think.
