One of the potential problems is simple - joining a "bigger" country with "less population as a percentage" with less influence can exasperate the issue we already have ..... we become a smaller fish in a much bigger pond.

Alberta has no influence in Canada, we are just a target to be attacked, and a source of revenue to be exploited. Whenever Trudeau needs a target to attack, to shift people's attention off of a scandal, Alberta or our oil, will be that target. In that sense, we would be better off, if we were less noticed, as in a bigger pond.
