> The UCP (who seem to have no official opinion on separation) have already begun some of this, with an Alberta pension plan and a new Alberta police force. To be clear, none of this has been enacted. The UCP love to threaten, but those initiatives have not proven to be popular with Albertans. > But to me, the question is whether that would still hold when it has to work out trade deals with two neighbouring countries, while small (pop. 5 million), and landlocked. And when Alberta needs to take on all the things that the federal government does for them.
