Best Answer

The resources of the Prairies were and still are for the most part sent to Eastern Canada who sells them to the world for large profits. This is why Western Canadian farmers has and still have very different rules, taxes and systems they farm under.

Today Alberta is the largest, by far, contributor to Confederation on a per capita basis.

Yet for all the money sent East by the Prairie provinces they get very few federal services, most of which are based in and are for Eastern Canada.
