Thats why the USA is pushing it and welcoming these separatist leaders to special meetings. If Alberta separates then we’ll hose them on the pipeline and there will be no future pipeline expansion.

BC also keeps the pipelines that ship oil to the sea. Alberta is landlocked, their only option is pipelines to the states.
Guess the bargaining chip they’ve already pulled out to help secure US support for their newly announced nation, should the separatists win.
