An independent Alberta would be like an independent Texas... it would eventually be swallowed up by the States. While that might be appealing to some, it wouldn't solve anything. The same issues would still exist.

While independence might look good now, it could be a sketchy thing once the cash cow runs dry. Being a landlocked country whose most valuable resource is non-renewable is not a great position to be in.
If oil runs dry, it's not going to be too rosy in Alberta regardless of what country governs it.
