Talk of western separation 91裸聊视频� or Wexit, as some are calling it 91裸聊视频� is percolating a day after voters returned the federal Liberals to power but with a minority government.

The Liberals managed to hang onto seats in Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic Canada and British Columbia, but Alberta and Saskatchewan are Conservative blue except for one NDP riding in Edmonton.

The VoteWexit Facebook page with its motto 91裸聊视频漈he West Wants Out91裸聊视频� has more than 142,000 members and counting.

And an online petition calling for a western alliance and Alberta to separate has been backed by nearly 26,000 people so far.

Grant Fagerheim, CEO of oil company Whitecap Resources Inc., says Alberta and Saskatchewan91裸聊视频檚 contributions to the Canadian economy have not been respected.

He says he91裸聊视频檚 not surprised there has been talk of western separatism, but whether that amounts to anything is another matter.

91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 believe at this particular time, whether you live in Saskatchewan or Alberta, that people would say they91裸聊视频檙e Canadian first at this time.91裸聊视频�

Fagerheim said historically he91裸聊视频檚 been a federalist, but 91裸聊视频淚 can91裸聊视频檛 say I91裸聊视频檓 a proud Canadian at this particular time.91裸聊视频�
