I would block Alberta from separating if I was from the rest of Canada also. A significant amount of people from both Eastern and Western Canada make above average wages and take them home to spend in their local towns.
A large portion of goods travel through Ab on the way east or west to get to the markets required via trains and or trucks.
Fracturing a trade route and breaking up a country because the big boys and girls can't figure their crap out is sad. Those idiots in Ottawa better start actually doing something or they will cause even further divide across the country.
 
I was today years old when i learned that NFLD voted by referendum to join Canada or not in 1948. The join side narrowly won: 52.3% to 47.7%.

Interesting bit of precedence.

As there may be few, if any, Newfoundlanders still around who were of voting age when the 1948 referendums (yes, there were two referendums, June 3 and July 22 - Confederation didn't win in the first one) that addressed the question of Nfld's political future, the acrimony among the supporters of the three choices on the first ballot (Return to Responsible Government, Continue with Commission of Government, or Confederation with Canada) remains only in the history books or in family lore. My Grandfather (very much anti-Confederation and hater of any mention of Smallwood) occasionally related tales of the extent of that political anger, including one story about Smallwood that concluded with ". . . we had the rope over the lamp post and nearly got the noose around the little bastard's neck, but the police arrived and he got away".

If you are trying to find some comfortable comparison with a possible Alberta result, try looking at political shenanigans and corruption.

Alignment with the USA was also in the mix in Nfld after the war, though that option did not get on the referendum. Nfld had closer ties with the States than Canada back then. Even before the establishment of American bases during the war along with the many marriages of local gals to GIs, from the late 19th century up to the thirties, the United States was more likely to be the destination for Nflders leaving the Rock for economic reasons. However, the Truman administration was content with British (and Canadian) guarantees that whatever the result of a referendum, they could keep their bases. In a post-war US Army intelligence analysis of Nfld, the island nation/colony was very much unfavourably described and other than being a location for bases suggested that there was nothing there that should interest the Americans.
 
The NFLD example is indeed a sound comparison. A small majority decided the fate of the province through referendum. As uncomfortable as that may be for some, it’s an example from Canadian history.
