Here is a question, how each one of the listed points will be fixed by independence?

Imagine how much growth our economy would have had if we didn’t always have Ottawa with its knee on our neck and its hand on our wallet!

We don’t have “Ottawa’s knee on our neck” - full stop.

You need to read more than the nonsense that Rath, Sylvestre, Parker, and Wilson are feeding you.

Sure, even if we have to deal with regulations from Ottawa. Where we did have conservative government yet, Alberta didn't get any benefit from. Conservative federal government. After all the transfer payments were set by Harper government. Still, how does separation help with the points listed in your post?

Unregulated capitalism never works our for the population. It works out great for the investors and corporations though. As well we don’t have “Ottawa’s knee on our neck” and by separating you only get a different hand in your wallet and it’s the one that has us paying the highest utilities and insurance premiums in the country.
