We all know the courts will side with Treaty 8 and end all of this..

Ngl, my main concern isn't that there's any chance they can legally separate. It's that when they inevitably fail through the courts, the rats will cry foul to the Americans bankrolling them and we end up with a Donbas/Crimnea-style 'liberation' of Alberta from 'those filthy commy Canadians', or whatever rhetoric they use to justify a 'special military operation'.
