It won't happen: the vocal minority wants it to happen, but I'd think many would be surprised at just how many people DON'T want to secede.
Not to mention from a legal standpoint, they are on treaty lands with the indigenous peoples: they would have to ok it before it even gets to a referendum vote and the indigenous leaders that are involved with this immediately said that they would never agree to a referendum.
I lived in Calgary (if anyone remembers) for 19 months and Alberta is beautiful country and landscape, a wonderful place to vacation, but an administrative shithole and most of the people are awful assholes. For all the complaints about Toronto being dangerous and the like, I've walked downtown Toronto at night (sometimes 1:00-2:00 am) my entire life and have been perfectly safe and left alone: walking to work in the morning Calgary however, I had a guy cross the street, essentially cross check me and keep walking, then on ***2*** occasions, a drunk native (a different one each time) chased me on a bike, with a hammer in their hand, trying to hit me.
In Canada, unless you're talking about nature, the west is NOT the best lol
