Or set their own regulations mandating % of ICE vehicles sold in the province? That might work for a while if the rest of the country buys enough EVs to make the national quota, but at some point carmakers will need to break the Alberta law or just stop selling here.

Dumb idea is dumb
The rest of Canada in 2035: We have slick electric cars! They accelerate instantly! They don't have emissions! They require less maintenance! Hooray!!
Alberta: Come to Sovereign Alberta where we still have polluting gas cars dodge rams!
