Also at the state level infringing on the second amendment happens consistently and is upheld. Agree with you on the terrible federal political system but if you wanted independence states have much more power than provinces do so maintaining Alberta as Alberta would be possible.

I wouldn’t want to join the states though, I’d be interested in Cascadia as once we were joined with California our dirty oil would be just as protected as theirs.
Even if the province continues to deliver health care, it's going to be Americanized. Which is going to make it worse for a lot of people.

Can we buy drugs at Canadian prices, or do we have to stroke the New York Stock exchange a bit and pay the Shkreli price?

Nothing is worth joining the United States of America. They don't say "I'm moving to Canada" for nothing.

Canada is awesome.
