That isn't going to go well for anyone. Because its going to re-open a whole can of worms for Quebec and likely other provinces as well.

If the Conservatives win a majority in the federal election, you MIGHT see some minor concessions. Anything else and the feds likely give Alberta all the rope it needs to hang itself. I just don't see any scenario in which the two major political parties find it advantageous to torpedo their chances in the rest of the country to quell the anger in a province that holds very little sway.
