Yves-François Blanchet said it best: oil and gas is not an identity.

Albertans who hate Canada should simply move to the US or Russia.

Whatever happens, it should require a supermajority to leave. Say 50.1% of the population vote to leave so it's on, then some people change their minds or some people die while others turn 18, then it's 49.9% who want independence so it's off. I don't know if 55% is enough, or 60%, or 67%. But, it should be enough that whatever decision is made, it's not going to immediately become unpopular.

No. They can just leave.

They can't have the land; so they can vote all they like but it's the plane ticket that makes the difference.

As the indigenous peoples of the prairies have already pointed out, by treaty, the provinces don't own the lands they're governing. The people can leave.

They don't get to take anything with them.
