Yes, Alberta has a lot of important resources Canada needs and it's kind of in the inside of Canada, lol

We make up a respectable chunk of exports for canada's economy, and a lot of pipelines and highways run right through the middle of us.

Alberta sovereignty would never play out, its purely the UCP party trying to force the federal government to tell them "lol no" so they can whine about how awful "the libs" are for not letting them do what they want.
