    As a British Columbian I always feel like Canada doesn’t care much about us. Federal policy is almost entirely favoured towards Quebec and Alberta, and often elections are decided before BC even finishes voting.

    I care not if BC stays Canadian or if we become cascadia with Washington, Oregon, Alaska and California. I feel like we have more in common with them than other provinces.

        Didn’t the federal government buy a pipeline that cost every Canadian (tax payer or not) like $800 each? A pipeline that one of the provinces it passed through didn’t want?

        Alberta is a squeaky wheel, it gets a lot of grease. Plus it’s still the spiritual and political seat of the modern Canadian conservative movement.

        Not seeing this is not seeing how places not call Alberta, Ontario, or Quebec are treated federally.

        Alberta hates on Trudeau but he fucked over BC for an Albertan pipeline. And Harper before that was definitely more pro-alberta than pro-bc. I can name more federal decisions that benefited Alberta than those that benefited BC that’s for sure.
