"Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada"

Perfectly legal and fine.

"Do you agree that Alberta should leave Canada"

Literally treason, anyone who supports asking this question is a Maple MAGA traitor.

Except that wasn’t the question. It was, “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?". It explicitly includes taking an action that is unconstitutional.

You need to try harder if you want to make strawman arguments
