Say we separate. Do we get to stay in NATO? What stops the United States from annexing us and taking our oil? Do we develop a nuclear program?
I'm not learning a new national anthem.

Do we need to stay in NATO? Though it would be nice in case Canada decides to invade us.
We could take the 3 billion that we spend on equalization and buy one nuclear bomb from North Korea. Defense problem solved.
Just kidding.
I don't doubt that any notion of separation would come with at least approaching the US in terms of a seat in Norad and some kind of mutual defense treaty.
More likely, if Alberta Separates the province joins the States, and the US would welcome Alberta with open arms since they're so focused on energy independence.
Also I would think its likely hypothetically speaking that if Alberta decides to leave, Saskatchewan would go with.
