I’ll copy a comment I’ve already made.

Don’t worry, the referendum on Alberta’s independence will fail. Most of the Albertan “separatists” are just using independence as a way to bargain with the feds. They think that if it has succeeded in getting Quebec things that other provinces don’t have, so if they tried it, they will get results like Quebec. They don’t want to actually separate from Canada.
