It seems you think PM Mark Carney holds all the cards. However, if he gets his way Alberta will go backrupt and even the Alberta Provincial NDP Party has acknowledged that fact. Yet not if it means leaving Canada.

It appears that when push comes to shove, the provincial NDP would allow Carney to get his way.
The NDP really has never been liked by the majority of Albertans.

Alberta could legally leave Canada, if the majority of Albertans voted to leave.
It appears that PM Carney is willing to call their bluff on the issue and even whispered that if need be, he would use the ‘Emergency Act’.

As for Quebec trying to leave before. Yes they tried three times and last time nearly got the votes they needed. With the Montreal business community giving the no side, the deciding factor.

Alberta does have a disadvantage. They are landlocked and would need B.C. or Washington State, to partner with in order to use their rich resources.
I doubt B.C. would allow that. Which means, Alberta’s only hope is to become the 51 State of the USA.
President Trump would like that, but wouldn’t they need to be accepted by the rest of the States?

I could actually see, Alberta and the USA benefiting each other.

I am presently watching the following; which contains the latest news from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. I am including it, in case anyone is interested.
