Call me crazy, but I don't think the world community is going to raise a big stink about unfair trade practices between Canada/US and a country they never heard of. And if they did, I've got very little confidence that the Americans in particular will care too much at all about what the global community has to say about it.
Landlocked European nations are not comparable for a variety of reasons, the main one being "they aren't sitting on a gigantic oil reserve". If for example Luxembourg happened to be sitting on a trillion barrels of oil, things would be a little different over there, don't you think? I doubt there would even be a country called Luxembourg

C'mon Rouge. You arent that dense, and we both know it.
You know exactly what I am referring to talking about what the world community wouldnt allow. You spent a couple paragraphs talking about Alberta being invaded. Hell, you even made another mention of the idea in this post, putting Luxembourg in Alberta's place.
Also, you ignored my question: Why doesnt the US squeeze Canada for our oil? Why doesnt the US invade Canada to get our oil? Why does the US buy our oil at open market prices? Why would that change if Alberta separated?
