Yeah, not sure they are aware. They tried to bring US CocaCola to Canada, everyone hated it. So they rolled it back and called it CocaCola "Classic"

True, same is true for Quebec if you check the 1905 map, however what they would get upon separation would be somewhat similar to the yellow portion here, though I think some of the northern part of that yellow portion they lose as well.

My point being, there's a strong likelyhood they would not walk away with the whole province.

Is there a link missing for this or am I blind?

The funny thing is, if Alberta were to separate, it would likely mean the same thing for them as Quebec.

Namely, you get the part of your province you joined confederation with, not all the northern crown land that was added to your province afterwards.

If Quebec separates, they lose everything from Val d'Or and north.

Alberta would likely lose Fort MacMurry and possibly Edmonton... I need to go dig for that original map of their pre-confederation territory.

EDIT: Its hard to find a good one, but this is the area they had before the new province was created as part of confederation.

The bulk of consevative voters dont choose who they vote for. They view voting like sports, they vote for their favourite team regardless of who is on it.

The only voters that can be pulled are the centre-right swing voters.

The liberal voters are smarter in their voting, and thus when there are good alternative options their vote splits.
