It would also fail because its a brain dead idea that defacto will end in US annexation.
As they should
A Quebec referendum & exit would likely end sentiments of an Alberta referendum tbh.
If Quebec left, we’d likely have a conservative government since 11 BQ seats flipped LPC in the last election.
Maybe, maybe not. Anxiety about the future can also fuel separatist sentiments if the leaders of the separation movements can successfully sell a dream. And right now it’s too easy to sell a dream when there are no consequences for lying.
The (large) majority of people in both provinces don’t want to leave and would rather stay in the family. Personally, I too would love for Alberta and Quebec to stay (though they both need serious changes in provincial governments for their and our own good)
Let’s not allow a small yet loud proportion of anti Canadian whiners to hijack the discourse. Let them air their grievances into the void and be challenged only when their stupidity spill over in our way.
But we’ll waste millions of dollars on them in the mean time.
Wonder how much of this separatism agenda is covertly fuelled by US right now.
I hope there is a timeline where both Alberta and Quebec separate and end up forming a country together….lol
But also fail because most of us especially don’t want separation
Why would? Not *will*?
Doesn’t matter. Alberta should never have a referendum or the USA will use it as an excuse to invade in the future to “liberate” Alberta.Â
It’s moot. Federal government is under no obligation to move the necessary constitutional amendments necessary for legal separation to occur. Also, there needs to be a “significant” majority in favour of separation, not 50% plus 1. We’re looking at somewhere likely in the area of 70%. Even then the other provinces and First Nations won’t agree to the amendments. .
What if America offered cash to each citizen of Alberta ?
God I hope this is correct, but sometimes it feels like people have never been dumber and more irrational so I am definitely anxious.

Albertans have been strong at shitting on Quebec since their demand to seperate. Look where they are at now.
And both referendums will fail because Quebec and Alberta being their own countries is a horrible idea for everybody rather they be in Alberta, Quebec, or the rest of Canada.
As well they should. They’re ridiculous ideas that are half-baked at best.
Is there a provision of referendum in US? It will be interesting to see referendum in some of the northern states.
Good, let them both fail miserably.
They would also no longer be Canadians. There is also always the ability for those who wish to separate to go to where they want to be.
