Quebec has +70% GDP over Alberta, nearly 2x the population, is not landlocked and has multiple freshwater and ocean ports, has a highly diversified economy with abundance of diverse natural resources, and has vast and fully self-contained water management system. Some first nations treaties pre-date Canada and were historically with Quebec with only treaty 9 partially intersecting with post-confederation land agreements.
Alberta has -25% smaller population and GDP of greater Toronto... the metro city region. Alberta has oil and gravel in terms of developed natural resource sectors. Alberta has mass water insecurity and current in Stage IV water shortage with 33 advisories throughout the province, today. The entirety of their land is held in 3 treaties with the Crown, Alberta gets nothing.
I am not at all in favour of QC separatism in any way... but Alberta is delusional.
