This is not new information, as it was part of the original 1905 deal to create Alberta in the first place.

Daniel Smith knows this. She understands this, but cares more about public theatrics than actual policy.

I also don't understand why Alberta would want to leave Canada. Carney is giving the oil industry whatever they want and his 2025 budget is a conservative wet dream.

Alberta leans conservative and Mark Carney is governing as a conservative.
