Bossnass. I hear you. Believe me I hear you. However... national boundaries (as right or wrong as the current ones are) must make up more than just financial profitablitiy. If Alberta were to become it's own country, then maybe Calgary would want to separate from Alberta because it was putting more in to the economy than Leduc. Then the downtown core would want out of Calgary. Then the financial district would want out of downtown. Then the 15th floor where the brokers are would want out. Etc, etc.
Countries are made up of common histories, cultures and beliefs (and yes somethimes arbitrary lines). Our problem is that, in many regards, the West has more in common with the Western US than with Eastern Canada.
