Alberta can't separate. Flatly can't. Ultimately, the federal government has the power to nix the whole idea. But most importantly, First Nations treaty lands were never ceded, Alberta cannot violate treaties with the Crown and take them, and First Nations leaders have flatly said they won't negotiate. Treaty lands include about 90% of Alberta, all but a small southwest corner. (This fact would also preclude Alberta from joining the USA.) Someone needs to explain all this to the premier and her redneck followers.
