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.
probably should expel danielle smith first.
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.

That image is the district of Alberta. Alberta joined confederation looking like it does now by combining woth the district of Athabaska.
1905 – The provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan are created out of the districts of Athabaska, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Assiniboia; the District of Keewatin is transferred to the newly defined Northwest Territories
True, same is true for Quebec if you check the 1905 map, however what they would get upon separation would be somewhat similar to the yellow portion here, though I think some of the northern part of that yellow portion they lose as well.

My point being, there's a strong likelyhood they would not walk away with the whole province.
It's not the same as Québec because they joined in 1867.
The big point is that the "borders at the time of joining confederation" would give them the whole slice. Thiugh I agree it is unlikely they get the whole slice, and the entire thing would be a protracted international legal battle with border disputes for decades.
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.
They aren't taking over shit. America is heading towards a great depression by the end of the year, they are going to be too broke to invade anybody. More likely you will have states seceding from the union to join Canada.
I mean, wasn't the former governor of Minnesota saying that they should secede and join Canada?

Yep!
Wish we could but it's not practical to have them join. I do wish north us would split from the south, the lead brains can have all the fun they want down their.
The political divide in the us isn't north vs south its urban vs rural. My partner is from the deep south and half her former classmates are transgender anarchists 😂
Nice to think about though.
Lol that'd be funny but I also think your right but for another reason, I think they get tied up into a civil war before they get the chance, then the depression hits the richoids. Only then they won't be able to do shiz
I don't really see who could fake it, though. Most evidence is Danielle Smith is doing the David Cameron thing, and doesn't actually want to leave.
It's inevitable "rigged election" type stuff comes out of this, but there's limited paths to politically making anything out of that. (Of course, Trump can invade any time he wants for any reason)
Then fucking do something about it and get the UCP tf out. I'm sick of hearing "not all Albertans". Recall these fucking traitors
It's really really hard to recall someone under Alberta rules. You basically have to run your own full election to gather enough signatures.
Multiple efforts are ongoing anyway.
I mean I would if I could but I don't have that power.
Ah yes, internet commenters saying we must go nuclear based on a clickbait headline.
wow, i think that would be insane.
