Alberta ’s premier has pushed for a 2026 referendum on separation from Canada .

Alberta 's economy is a beast, with oil and gas making up 30 per cent of GDP.

An independent Alberta could cosy up to Uncle Sam , leaving Canada 's economy out in the cold.

The cost of a fractured federation could be $80 billion annually in trade disruptions alone.
