    BC and Ontario should annex the southern part of Alberta and institute a no fly zone. Isolate them from the rest of the world until they fall in line.

    Edit: /s because apparently that’s not obvious enough. Although I don’t blame you guys. We live in stupid times.

      The funny thing is, if Alberta were to separate, it would likely mean the same thing for them as Quebec.

      Namely, you get the part of your province you joined confederation with, not all the northern crown land that was added to your province afterwards.

      If Quebec separates, they lose everything from Val d’Or and north.

      Alberta would likely lose Fort MacMurry and possibly Edmonton… I need to go dig for that original map of their pre-confederation territory.

      EDIT: Its hard to find a good one, but this is the area they had before the new province was created as part of confederation.

      Most Albertans don’t actually want this, this is a smoke show meant to drum up support, more likely they fake the results to show over 50% and Donald will claim its real even if we prove them wrong. He’ll use that as an excuse to take over Alberta. He’ll just do what Putin did.
