(the Block Quebecoise at home) The Wild Rose Party

Would be nice if we got a Wildrose federal party. The CPC would never be in a position to form a majority government again, and whoever forms a government might be unable to ignore Alberta as easily. Albertans would feel more represented. Also Wildrose would have to play ball with the rest of Canada to get what they want for Alberta. Given how the CPC leadership is the former Reform leader, the CPC is a bit of a Wildrose themselves, but run candidates across all of Canada.

For example, Alberta wants a pipeline through Quebec. Their strategy today is to get a CPC majority government elected and use whatever federal powers are needed to beat QC into doing it. In a world where AB can't get a federal majority government under their control, they'd have to negotiate with QC, share the royalties, likely get forced to extract more royalties from the oil&gas companies that would benefit from the pipelines too.
