Trades sanctions from the both the US and Canada under the claim of rights violations would be very likely if there was no reasonable agreement with FN if separation took place
Canada especially under the Liberals would like the opportunity to bankrupt Alberta so we returned. The US would benefit as well because once sanctions were lifted they could trade for resources with Alberta that would be desperate economically. Or the US could exploit it to get Alberta to be the next new state
Even if there was separation there are issues that would need to be handled with realistic negotiations not just “well we don’t have to”. Alberta would still rely heavily on trade and would not be a big enough player to ignore how we conducted ourselves
But again this isn’t happening anyway
