The US already owns Alberta oil. There are No offshore shipping in Alberta. All pipelines other than the Kinder Morgan go to the US. If you leave Sask with the east. Sask also has tar sands to supply the other side. If you do not be friendly to BC. No access to off shore shipping unless you pay through the nose. The Us now already pays up to $17 less for Alberta oil than world prices because they are the only reachable market. What if you were further isolated. You think the US would be more generous and play Santa? A bunch of guys with pop guns the general public has when it comes to an all out conflict is tantamount to suicide. Ontario has 3x the population of Alberta. Vancouver Island, to Fraser valley has a greater pop than total Alberta. And the last time I checked the Jefferson armory military facilities in Edmonton which I was at while in the PPCLI, The Canadian Cold Lake Forces Base and the other 5 military bases in Alberta all belonged to the Federal Government. Not Alberta Lastly The US would not come to the defense of Alberta over Canada as a country. They would not even intervene in an internal disruption. That is fact. If you think differently. Just think FLQ. The US stood silently by and allowed Canada to handle it on their own. The only thing the US supplied was intelligence to Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Even though they were not very fond of him. The only Canadian Prime minister to sign the Communist Manifesto. So forget your idea of how you could violently separate. It would be dead in the water before it ever got off the ground. Diplomacy is the only way out. To change the Constitution it takes a national Vote of 50%+1 and the approval of 7 provinces. With or with out Quebec. If you remember BC was the 7th province required to give Quebec a Distinct Society status within Canada under the Meech Lake accord in 1987. And BC voted to kill it.
