  1. You clearly have no sense of reality and only listen to political painpoints from your party of choice. Alberta doesn't have a balanced enough economy. Joining the US, would worsen the disadvantage you see vs Quebec and Ontario by 10 fold. Alberta has a lot going for it, but for all the supporters of independence you sure sound a lot like the people with a victim mentality. Like an entitled brat really, stomping your feet when things don't go your way, because you think you are the only one with resources or generating profit for the country. Realistically, The boom and bust oil industry is at the mercy of the US, and they have been the single biggest impediment to Alberta's success. Worse becoming independent would put Alberta at the mercy of everyone. Since you clearly have no knowledge of economics, trade, infrastructure, or borders, you are demanding billions of dollars of infrastructure, a disruption of transportation networks, an indipendent military complex, which we do not have, then what? you just expect the rest of Canada to baby you and just treat you the same as before with all the benefits and none of the drawbacks? Get real. The UK departing the EU had massive and lasting consequences, and they are a nation merely involved in a trade block. Alberta has intertwined services, travel, transportation, utilities, food production... What you want is a pipe dream. Could you get there? Yeah, in 10-15 years at best.
