What would a separate Alberta be like for me? I would bet I would not have equal marriage rights or equal adoption rights, and I would be back to being a marginalized second class citizen. The only plus I can think of, is that Calgary's gay community would probably become less fractured as we would have an evil common enemy to fight against. :/

Whatever your particular issues...
It would talk a continental shift to move the majority (more than 15%ish) of Albertans to vote for separation.
I wouldnt vote for it for the sheer fact that Quebec and its "separatist movement" has proved to be a monumental waste of time and a huge joke. Why would Alberta want to be even mentioned in the same breath as them.
Those who believe in separation today, obviously dont grasp the actual problems with it. Its great to give mighty speeches about freedom, its another thing to walk the long road of hardship that particular movement would put us all on.
