The separatist movement clearly exists solely in order to attempt to push pipelines. They are taking the same path as Quebec in an attempt at gaining bargaining power, and Trumps threat of annexation just made it possible.

No. It's all cultural warriors in the Alberta Republicans right now. I don't know if I've seen much about pipelines at all from them. They prefer the dogwhistling "stand up for our values". Meanwhile, the oil industry basically owns the UCP and Danielle Smith, to the point where agriculture has kind of been pushed out.

That's also why they lost. The oil industry is popular in Alberta, as is the idea of having our cake and eating it too when it comes to the federation. The cultural conservative stereotype of is way off, though, even for the most part in rural areas.

Canada is owned by oil companies. Trace oil prices to Canadians dollar value and you'd see pretty quick as to why.
