So this whole, ablerta sovereignty not being legally allowable due to treaties with first nations was the first time I'd heard that.

Is there not the same issue at play in all the other provinces, especially Quebec, or is there something special about the treaties in Alberta?

No not every province is covered by treaties. All of the prairies. And it's complicated let's say the chiefs decide to go with Alberta what happens when America takes over they are not going to honour the treaties. I don't see a seperate Alberta be sovereign for long.

Also Canada spends a lot of money on first Nations so why do we still have all these problems? There seems to be mismanagement somewhere along the line.

Ah, okay then that makes sense

what happens when America takes over

Assuming the chiefs ever agreed I imagine the agreement would need to include its guarantee and any joining with the US (assuming it's not annexing) would need to be honored or the deal couldn't go through.
