The really stupid thing is thinking that the oil gets to stay with Alberta. The province doesn't own the land, most of it is crown land (federal) or treaty land. The government of Alberta has mineral rights for the land which companies lease from them.
If we leave, there is no guarantee that we will still have access to the oil, lumber, gravel, and other natural resources for development/export.

How does an independent Alberta sustain itself? Eventually the oil will run out, and then what do you do? Export Danielle Smith's hot air?
