𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐦 - 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 Ever feel like Ottawa has treated Alberta unfairly on resources and money? Separatism in Alberta stems from long-standing tensions over control and fairness. 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞: 𝟏𝟗𝟎𝟓: Alberta joins Confederation, but Ottawa keeps control of its natural resources (unlike older provinces). This fueled perceptions of unequal treatment. 𝟏𝟗𝟑𝟎: The Natural Resources Transfer Agreement gives Alberta control of its resources on October 1, ending the disparity after negotiations. 𝟏𝟗𝟑𝟎𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐯𝐞: Great Depression era. Premier Aberhart's Social Credit government introduces reforms like prosperity certificates. Federal government and courts rule key parts unconstitutional and disallow them. Some supporters discuss secession, though Aberhart rejects it. This strengthens the "Ottawa vs. the West" narrative. 𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟎𝐬 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Oil shocks, Trudeau Sr, prompt federal actions like export taxes on oil, regulated domestic prices, and the National Energy Program (1980). Alberta views these as interfering with provincial rights and revenues. Premier Peter Lougheed opposes them strongly as discriminatory, sparking major federal-provincial clashes. These events highlight recurring friction when federal policies affect provincial resource control or economy. Alberta has been a major net contributor to federal finances (often billions annually).

🚨The Crown prosecutors requested 7- and 8-year sentences for the 2 organizers of the Freedom Convoy truck protests in Ottawa. The Crown prosecutors are requesting 5 1/2 years for a man who stabbed his 7- and 8-year-old children. Let that sink in.
