And how do you get out oil to tidewater? B.C. would make life difficult there etc.
And a lot of people who identify as Canadian first would flee and drive down house prices etc.
Trust me, separation is the best way to turn Alberta into a have not state.

Another term or two under Trudeau, and all provinces will be have not provinces. Canada would be bankrupt, and we could all enjoy the result together. Of course Ottawa will rewrite the equalization equation so that we still subsidize Quebec and eastern Canada, even though we will be bankrupt as well, but that is the Canadian way. Unless the conservatives win a majority in the next federal election, it really doesn't matter what Alberta does, Alberta will be doomed.
