If you compare nations that seceded through revolution and nations that seceded through peace (and, yes, there are many examples of this--most British colonies, for example), I think you will find that the instances of revolution reflected a history of armed conflict (which, in a cyclical kind of way, further fuels the resolve to secede).
There has been zero history of armed conflict between Alberta and anyone else, so I think the idea of Alberta secession necessitating revolution isn't really historically supported.
