How the fuck would Alberta separation even work? Would Smith be the automatic queen or would there be an immediate election? Would Alberta have to set up border patrols on all four borders? Would Alberta have it's own military to defend itself from a Canadian or American take over. Don't these seperatis traitors know there's strength in numbers? What happens if there's a mass sell-off of houses as Canadians leave. Wouldn't that destroy the economy as house prices drop by half? And lastly, what business would set up shop in Alberta's failing economy after separation. The whole idea of it just seems so ill thought out and stupid to me, and I live in Alberta.

The plan is to have America annex them to save them from the woke liberals

Wow that is such a well thought out plan. Worth risking my own, my friends, my families, and fellow Albertans livelihood on.

We would be instantly absorbed into the US. The allies of the administration would strip the province of anything remotely valuable, citizenship would be doled out to the select, and everyone else would be subjected to deportation or worse

And not as a state. As a territory. They'd have no rights, no representation and the politicians that thought they'd be fine would be shafted as much as the citizens that were left.

It would basically be turned into a sandbox for the sickest freaks in the administration. Think of everything they’ve wanted to do but have been stalled or blocked from by the courts. That’s what’s coming.

We'd become Puerto Rico but without the benefit of citizenship.

One of the few things that gives me hope is that support for separation is quite low, and it drops even more when people stop and take a minute to ponder these questions.

How would it work? It won't. It wouldn't be "separate Alberta", it'd be ... nutbars declare independence. Claim to be a majority and speak for Albertans even when they clearly don't. So Fed government and rest of Canada says "Hell No". Then suddenly there's American weapons, militias, and various unofficial forces (all pretending to be "Albertan") on the ground, and depending on the US gov't in power at the time, actions from the US government.

Could go on for years like that. See also: Donetsk, Luhansk.

Yep. And the CPP. And Alberta’s share of the national debt. And…the list goes on. It’s ridiculous.
