7 of the 10 provinces would have to agree to let Alberta separate. So Alberta would have to sweet talk 2 other provinces.

Then they would have to deal with the treaties and the people that affects would have to agree.

Then they would have to sweet talk the businesses not to leave, I am sure a few oil companies may keep offices there.

Completely doable, simple like a walk in the park! 🤪
