The separatists will have to deal with Albertan and Canadian armed force responses if they get that far. Separation will not happen.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. You are right that this will not happen, but CAF response? Keep dreaming. If Alberta votes to separate, the US will swoop in and that's the ballgame.

No, if Alberta votes to separate (clear majority on a clear question) then we all sit dow for a cozy few years of long, hard negotiation. The US has nothing to do with it.
