Alberta separation probably isn't an answer, but if Albertans are not happy, I think this is an appropriate discussion and not something to be "embarrassed" about.
I also have to laugh at those pointing to the healthcare system as a reason Alberta would fail on its own. Healthcare is not free as evidenced by our 40%+ tax rate, and drug prices in Canada are some of the highest in the world.

Canada right now comes off like a country that hates businesses. Can you blame outsiders for having that perception?
