It's never a good situation to be a landlocked country. It also wouldn't be ideal to be a small country of a few million wedged between one of 30 million and one of 300 million. Alberta would be bullied so much that it wouldn't be able to develop its own policies.
Even though Alberta might benefit economically for a while, eventually the oil boom will wear off. Look at Nova Scotia when coal and ship building were the big things. It was the strongest economy in North America.
Also, Alberta does not support Ontario.
