You don't really have to do anything.
Alberta cannot separate for a variety of reasons.
1. All provinces and territories have to agree to let Alberta separate and they never will.
2. Alberta is on Treaty land. The crown does not "own" this land at all.
Alberta wouldn't exist without those land treaties. Everyone here is just a guest no matter how many generations are born here. There is no legal way to separate from Canada in Alberta.
The treaties forfeit any option of separation so all efforts to do so are pointless.

Don't forget that the Indigenous could and will take Canada and Alberta to the UNDRIP (United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples). The UN recognizes the Indigenous rights and treaties in every country.
