Alberta, and to a lesser extent some of the other Western provinces, is definitely not happy with the current arrangement. Some of this has to do with the strange way the Canadian government is structured. When I was last up in Alberta (a month ago), the newspapers were reporting something like 70% of Albertans favor separating from Canada, and over several distinct issues.The problem is basically that while Alberta is an economic powerhouse that is propping up the weaker economies of the Eastern provinces, their interests are openly and unapologetically ignored by the government in Ottawa. While Alberta sends something like twice the tax dollars to Ottawa per capita of the average Canadian, they only have token representation in the federal government. While I'm not clear on exactly how the government works up there, representation is not entirely based on population, and it works out that some eastern provinces with populations smaller than the city of Calgary alone have substantially more representatives in the legislature than the entire province of Alberta. The long and the short of it is that the eastern provinces use Alberta as a personal ATM machine for their social programs while not even so much as throwing Alberta a bone, and are able to do so because even the sparsely populated eastern provinces can out-vote Alberta despite having fewer people. Or something like that. The Canadian government is less restricted than the US government, so they can do strange things, like having restrictive regulations that only apply to certain provinces, Alberta being on the receiving end of many such obscenities. It is essentially a much worse version of what is happening in the inter-mountain West of the US. Unlike the US case though, the rest of Canada would really be hurting if they weren't receiving all those tax dollars from Alberta. OTOH, Alberta would probably thrive.I have friends in Alberta, and visit occasionally, but I'm not totally clear on everything that goes on in that country, due to my partial unfamiliarity with how the government works up there, so I'm a little fuzzy on some of the details. What I do know is that on average the Albertans are quite unhappy with their current position in Canada and the sentiment has been getting worse over the years.Cheers,-James Rogers [email protected]	0

3 . 429 how did we end up linguists ? i ' ll put myself in the foot-in - the-humanities & foot-in - the-sciences camp . i remember , from my senior year of high school , doing the dishes with my father ( a sci-fi fan and long-time reader of ' scientific american ' ) and having a discussion about what i would study in college . i told him i liked english but mostly grammar , not lit-crit , and i tested well in math . he said , " sounds like linguistics to me . " and , right he was ! and the half&half story still holds : now here i am , remaking myself ( again ) in private industry , from a humanities specialist ( that 's how i got hired into ibm ) to a multimedia researcher in a computer science group and now to a usability engineer . when i pinch myself , it 's still me . nancy frishberg ( nancyf @ watson . ibm . com )

Alberta, and to a lesser extent some of the other Western provinces, is definitely not happy with the current arrangement. Some of this has to do with the strange way the Canadian government is structured. When I was last up in Alberta (a month ago), the newspapers were reporting something like 70% of Albertans favor separating from Canada, and over several distinct issues.The problem is basically that while Alberta is an economic powerhouse that is propping up the weaker economies of the Eastern provinces, their interests are openly and unapologetically ignored by the government in Ottawa. While Alberta sends something like twice the tax dollars to Ottawa per capita of the average Canadian, they only have token representation in the federal government. While I'm not clear on exactly how the government works up there, representation is not entirely based on population, and it works out that some eastern provinces with populations smaller than the city of Calgary alone have substantially more representatives in the legislature than the entire province of Alberta. The long and the short of it is that the eastern provinces use Alberta as a personal ATM machine for their social programs while not even so much as throwing Alberta a bone, and are able to do so because even the sparsely populated eastern provinces can out-vote Alberta despite having fewer people. Or something like that. The Canadian government is less restricted than the US government, so they can do strange things, like having restrictive regulations that only apply to certain provinces, Alberta being on the receiving end of many such obscenities. It is essentially a much worse version of what is happening in the inter-mountain West of the US. Unlike the US case though, the rest of Canada would really be hurting if they weren't receiving all those tax dollars from Alberta. OTOH, Alberta would probably thrive.I have friends in Alberta, and visit occasionally, but I'm not totally clear on everything that goes on in that country, due to my partial unfamiliarity with how the government works up there, so I'm a little fuzzy on some of the details. What I do know is that on average the Albertans are quite unhappy with their current position in Canada and the sentiment has been getting worse over the years.Cheers,-James Rogers [email protected]
