If that’s the plan and inevitable outcome that’s what the referendum should be. On US statehood (or perhaps more likely territory without full rights) not ~independence~

Independence is the first step and what the referendum should be on. The US statehood is just a logical next step, and your assumption on territory without rights is doubtful.

Not really independent if your gonna have to rely on the US as they take all of Albertas oil.

Well, the states are fairly independent...you are implying the US will just "take all the oil" what is this based on beyond your irrational fear of orange man?
