I have a campaign button from the Reform Party of Alberta that says "It's 
Your Country, Not Theirs".  That was the Reform Party of the '90s, not the 
current one.

Ottawa did quite a bit to piss off Alberta on really important issues. 
Calgary Export at the time was a local beer. Their blimp was inadvertently 
captured on TV as it floated over a ballgame. They were fined for 
advertising beer on TV. I think it was also Calgary Ex that used bottles 
shaped like little kegs and were told they had to conform to the Uniform 
Beer Bottle Act of 1989 or whatever the BS was.
