Canada

Frankly I find it amazing that Albertans aren't the most acutely aware how fragile their economy is. They've suffered several oil crashes, even two in the last decade or so, and yet they feel like they'll do better without Ontario and Quebec to prevent a total economic crash any time oil prices dip?

And this is at a time when oil prices are already starting to fall, with pretty much every forecast blaring out that oil will become nearly worthless by the end of the century, if not within the next two decades?

Oh, and this is even before considering that the only other province that has a snowball's chance in hell to give Alberta a hand once there's no federal government to force the provinces to work together (even marginally), is Saskatchewan. I strongly doubt that BC would allow Albertan oil to pass through their province if the Feds wasn't there to make them play nice together. Maybe natural gas, but definitely not oil. And in such a case, the only significant buyer of Albertan oil will be the the US, and I would bet actual money that the first thing they'd do would be to ask for a discount on oil, because they know it is litterally the only thing preventing Alberta from becoming a 3rd world economy.

Danielle Smith is going to find out very quickly that she and Alberta need the rest of Canada a lot more than Canada needs Alberta. Also, say goodbye to your CPP, OAS, and EI contributions. The impact on schools, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, food safety, and road regulations alone are significant cause for concern.

Not to mention all oil leaving Alberta would still have to travel through Canada to get to an ocean port. They would have to negotiate with a "foreign country" for that ...
