An opinion piece criticizes Jeffrey Rath, a leader of an Alberta separatist movement, for his enthusiastic support of a new pipeline project. The author mocks Rath’s social media posts and argues that in an independent Alberta, such projects would not hold the same importance or likelihood of success as they do within Canada. The article suggests that Alberta might lose control over its resources if it were to separate from Canada, implying that Rath’s vision is unrealistic.

Story summary
Jeffrey Rath, a leader in the Alberta separatist movement, is expressing enthusiasm over a new pipeline project, seeing it as another step towards provincial independence from Canada. He mirrors U.S. President Donald Trump's social media style by posting all-caps messages online. However, critics argue that if Alberta were to become independent, such projects would likely be far less prioritized; any proposed pipeline would probably fall to the 101st position on Canada’s list of top 100 infrastructure projects. Additionally, it is uncertain whether an independent Alberta would retain its current land resources or even have access to oil reserves. Some suggest that Rath might prefer moving to the United States if he truly supports U.S.-style politics and policies.
