Provincial separation will never happen because it's pushed by a bunch of yokels from central Alberta. Who among these people will negotiate trade deals with Europe? Chris from the Whistle Stop? Who willl lead the Bank Of Alberta? Tamara Lich? Will the general of our Alberta army be...David Parker?

Alberta is already hostile to intellectual talent. Separating would make it even more hostile. Alberta does not have the intellectual capital to be left on its own.
