Wouldn't Separation come with an option to join the US, thereby avoiding a landlocked situation?
What if Carney decides that Climate Change is more important than Canada becoming an Energy Superpower, and decides to cap and phase out our oil and gas industry?
Shouldn't Western Canada have a better deal in Confederation?
If Trump decides to raise tariffs to a point where we become financially unviable as a nation, who will come to our aid?
If Canada is invaded, how will Canada protect itself without the US?

How about waiting and seeing what his plans are first? This is toddler level ####. It's the same victim narrative that is perpetuated by demanding everything and when you see one thing you may not get, you throw a tantrum. This makes it impossible to negotiate in good faith.
What is "better deal in Confederation"? Every province does whatever Alberta demands? What would your reasonably allow other provinces to do? The claim is Alberta should have a right to develop and export our resources unrestricted, but does, say, BC not have a right to decide what risks it takes on to facilitate exports for Alberta? So Alberta's demands infringe upon the rights of other provinces, and demand the feds facilitate that. And to really hammer that home they try to use blackmail of transfer payments(fully misunderstanding how those work) to try to get their way. All because we happen to have lucked out on petroleum resources. I guess having good fortune means you also fell like you should be able to bully everyone else around.
These people need to grow the #### up.
