Spain’s gain Congratulations to Spain on an incredible World Cup victory! A hard-fought tournament, remarkable talent, and the spirit of teamwork brought La Roja to the top.

Things would be totally different if we were voting on ‘Western’ separation but alas, Alberta going it alone is just a bad idea.
