Ralph Klein was the most successful elected politician I've ever seen anywhere.

He never lost an election from the time he announced his candidacy for mayor of Calgary to the time opportunists in the old PC party of Alberta forced him out by stealth.

Wait. Some Canadians would prefer to live under American rule, rather than Canadian?

Unlike equalization, though, provinces can opt out of participation in the CPP; Quebec already has.



In 2017, 16.5 per cent of all CPP contributions came from Alberta workers, while just 10.6 per cent of CPP expenditures made their way back to the province. The difference between what was paid in and paid out was $2.9 billion in 2017, the most recent year for which data are available. (Alberta paid in $8.1 billion and received $5.2 Billion)



Alberta contributes much more to Canada Pension Plan than its retirees take out: study

I hope Scott Moe holds an equalization referendum here.



Taxpayers group urges Albertans to vote to abolish equalization in October referendum

A new Canadian Taxpayers Federation campaign is urging Albertans to vote yes to abolish equalization payments to have-not provinces,  weeks before Alberta's Oct. 18 referendum.



"Albertans have had it rough for the last six-plus years, and we're tired of being treated as the cash cow for the rest of Canada," said Kevin Lacey, the CTF's Alberta director and head of the Fight Equalization campaign. "Voting yes in this October's referendum is a great way to send the Trudeau government a message that the equalization status quo must go."



Since 1961, Albertans have paid $661 billion more to Ottawa than they have received back in spending. Encompassed in that amount is equalization, which costs Alberta taxpayers approximately $3 billion per year, or over $600 per Albertan.



Despite this significant contribution to Canada, the government has made it extremely difficult for Alberta's economy to develop by instituting policies such as the carbon tax, the tanker ban, and the anti-pipeline legislation.

Former Wexit Leader Now Wants Alberta to Join the US



As the Western Canadian separatist movement Wexit has appointed a former Conservative as leader, its founder is pushing for Alberta to become the 51st state of the U.S.



By Mack Lamoureux



Aug 6 2020, 6:09pmShareTweetSnap



As the Western Canadian separatist movement Wexit becomes more mainstream, the group's founder is hoping to lead disillusioned western Canadians into the waiting arms of Donald Trump and to become the U.S.'s 51st state.



"Just like Wexit wasn't mainstream and now...is mainstream, the American option isn't mainstream but it will be," said Peter Downing, the driving force behind Wexit.



Wexit is a growing movement of conservative western Canadians who want to separate from eastern Canada. The group, built off existing separatist sentiment and western rage, was founded by Downing in early 2019 and has grown to become an actual political entity: it's now a registered party in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan (although in some province's Wexit has changed names and merged with other separatists.



Downing recently resigned as the leader of the official Wexit party in June, making way for Jay Hill, a longtime mainstream Conservative Party politician from 1993 to 2010. The appointment of Hill, who had stints as both the chief Conservative Party whip and the house leader, granted Wexit a new air of legitimacy. It's also allowed Downing to focus on the next stage of his plan.



"Stage 2 is the next logical approach, to touch on what the Liberals and what the eastern Canadian elite fear the most: Alberta secession to the United States," Downing told VICE News. "All the arguments against (Albertan separation)—us being landlocked, losing investment—all those things simply just go away."



"We're looking forward to our Wexodous," he said. He's also launched a website for the "Alberta 51" movement.
