Comments by "" (@SG-js2qn) on "Alberta wants to LEAVE Canada and join the United States??" video.

I've heard the sentiment is about 40% in Alberta to join the US. A simple majority on a referendum is what it would take. However, while citizens believe they have the right to secede, the federal govt apparently has plenty of wiggle room to deny departure. They can, for instance, exploit the legal language to always demand a higher majority than what was delivered by the referendum. Since Quebec survives by stealing oil revenue from Alberta, the feds would never let Alberta go.

@Brdstfff I'm sure you're joking, but of course they would not. The only way the US would mobilize in Canada would be if the flag of China went up in Ottawa. Which is unfortunately ... likely.
