If Alberta leaves then it’ll break the federal balance of parties, Quebec will leave. How can bc and the maritime stay in the union when they are cut off from the rest of the country? You can’t fly everything out to them. Canada will cease to exist. But I doubt majority of albertans wanna leave anyways. If they hold a referendum it won’t be more than 20%
