    No. That and also, there is no scenario where if they did, they would be better off long term. The best they can hope for is immediate annexation by the US of this brand new, non-NATO country.

    Just in time for this absolute disaster of an Iran war finally kills off major oil production enough for them to really regret leaving.

    Even short term, what are the proposed benefits? Better than universal healthcare? I seriously doubt it.

    Even if they were able to leave most of the land is crown land, meaning if Alberta were to seperate crown land would still belong to Canada, unless it were purchased somehow, probably leaving Alberta bankrupt in the process.

    Looking at the map the North and South portions are also cut off from each other.

    Legally, maybe not, but what if the U.S. said “We can help you with that”?

    Quebec tried this already, enough whining and complaining and eventually they’ll settle, it will be nice to see bill C21 get cut.
