First thing that King Crunch the first does as the new sovereign leader of the country of Alberta, King for Life may the light shine every where I walk. anyways I go to the States and ask for favorable terms of admission into NATO in exchange for favorible terms on Oil production, to back up my NATO admission, I offer to buy off the shelf American surplus military equipment including advanced M1 battle tanks and LAV IV armoured fighting vehicles, I complement this by buying 4 complete squadrons of ATFs, and 1 squadron of Rapier F-22's and Apache gunships. Then I offer clemency and refugee status to any Canadian soldier that wishes to defect to Alberta and give them a raise and superior equipment.
I then approach the Americans about negotiating the building of a pipeline to the nearest seaport so we can start shipping products abroad.
I then invest from the heritage fund into new technology based industries, new national health care and educational programs. Every child under the age of 6 gets a pony.
Then we send a letter to the remainder of Canada telling them that they are welcome to ship in Oil from elsewhere if they don't want to buy our Oil and Gas on Alberta's terms, we also implement a entry and exit tax for freight passing through Alberta.
Then with my next decree we start using the money from our Oil and gas sales, and our newly funded technology Ray to build a weather machine, a mega death ray and a cable box capable of making the playboy channel HD.
Just trying to sort of lighten things up after a few beers. But I'm serious about joining NATO which would give us protection, NORAD which would give us air coverage, and everything else except for the weather machine and the death ray.
But the pony and the playboy channel thing would guarantee my continued reign as your beloved sovereign for life
