Weekly Commentary - July 11, 2005 - A university prof says Canada is ruined, Alberta should save itself:

More sane, intelligent, grounded Albertans are saying that Albertan independence is desirable and inevitable. While the East is always worried about Quebec leaving, Alberta's secession may be an even more real threat. As an Albertan living in Ontario, I know how Albertans operate. They do not whine but at some point they say, "OK, that's enough." If Alberta leaves, the ROC will be in deep trouble.
