The whole situation is wild.
The UCP literally handed separatists Alberta voter information in a 'i'm gonna leave this alcohol in front of this alcoholic fresh out of rehab' way
And in a 'here is a gun, and how it works, mr. Person on suicide watch' showed the separatists how to use the leaked data by demonstrating using the last UCP premier's information. Her and her entire base hat him because he isn't hardline enough and actually implemented COVID knockdowns etc.

Once caught she blames the opposition like any good politician

And then the separatist magically go from 173k signatures to 300k when they were struggling to get signatures

She's so corrupt and clearly a separatist Premier. Separation would be the stupidest thing for Alberta you could manage.

You know Danielle Marlaina Kolodnicki Smith pre-talked about this plan to get AB to leave with Trump when she was at Merde-a-Lardo.

She's even more corrupt than separatists, because we all know she'd turn on them to save her own skin in a heartbeat.

Wow that's stupid. Look at Brexit, in a united world you want to separate yourself. Why? Why do you think it will be better?

I may have heard that they want to become a part of the US.

It's not what any of this is- but in an ideal world, they'd get their exit. So would all the provinces and US states.
Then they'd come together as a North American Union in the image of the EU, with sovereign states as members.
But Alberta isn't trying for that, they're speedrunning Brexit idiocy.

Can we trade all the states to the right of NY and above NYC? Trump hates that part of the country anyway.
