“The South constantly complained that the tariffs were designed to protect Northern industrial interests while the Southern raw materials industries had to compete directly against the rest of the world. The money the tariffs collected was used to build things like an expansive rail system up in the North and the South comparatively got left out.”
Just like Alberta’s relationship with Canada. We pay and pay and get forgotten when the feds spend our money.
We’d welcome another conservative state.
Alberta is beautiful.
