Healthcare is a provincial power. Alberta is part of the Canada Health Act because it chooses to be, the act itself does not prevent private healthcare, only stipulates the conditions for funding from the Federal government.

and same sex marriage is mandated by our national gov.

which Alberta hasn't opposed. There wasn't exactly mass protests in the streets when the law was passed.

We already as a province don't get enough funding from the feds and the only thing we protest is Stanley Cup losses.

Nowhere in my revolutionary and visionary partition plan, do I call for Canadians to lose their rights or education. Nor will they be inheriting a worse political system.

All of that is lies, if you compare our two countries in those fields

Is that a joke? B/c if so, it's HILARIOUS.

You get to call yourselves Americans legitimately. People are always whining about how citizens of the US can't claim "American" as their demonym because other people live in the Americas, etc, etc. Merge with us and you can really be Americans.

Anyway, I'm not answering any of your questions. You called me a moron, and insulting people isn't going to get them to debate you, at least not in an intelligent manner.
