It would be so funny if Alberta successfully exited Canada to lose all of those Canadian perks, like nationalized healthcare. Welcome to the free market baby.
The face Americans make at them after Albertans get a 100K hospital bill after losing socialized medicine:
Mhm. Right. A paper contract that’s only valid with Canada. The reason FN are not in favour of secession/US control, is because they’d almost definitely lose any treaty-like claims and privileges. Those treaties are only good so long as Canada maintains control over the area. If Alberta, with the backing of the USA, declares that land not part of Canada, what do you imagine is going to happen – outside of a strongly worded letter of protest and some thoughts and prayers on facebook? Canada can’t realistically retain that region by force, especially if the people of Alberta are against it. FN would not be able to stand up to, nor ‘negotiate’ with the USA’s more authoritarian / fascist regime.
At best, you’ll get something like what happened to the Mohawks after the various wars for independence were settled, and the states basically kicked em out for having sided with the brits. FN might be given an opportunity to resettle into other parts of Canada as essentially refugees.
And you are completely wrong about that, the first Nations of Alberta have voted to self-govern, and have been in the process of moving forward doing so for the past couple years.
The regional management of the province of Alberta seems to be privatizing as much healthcare as possible, and as quickly as possible. An american “ha ha” style healthcare is already their goal, and the people voting for them don’t seem to understand the notion of Finding Out.

Jokes on you, Alberta already gutted their health care!
It is however literally impossible to have happen, Alberta is not their land, it is treaty 6 land.

UCP claims that healthcare is a Bolshevik plot!
