It is becoming increasingly clear the current Government does not represent the hinterland. Between carbon taxes which are crippling western industry, border mandates which are taking food off the table of the average Canadian, insults from elected leaders, few seats for the Liberals west of Ontario, and just a big disconnect with the "leadership" in Ottawa, leaders not honoring the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, etc. should the west consider demanding the same level of independence as Quebec and look at separating?
