Sure, so which political party or group is advocating for it (Alberta nationhood)? If they at least appear to be something like Texas or Florida (free market leaning, no regulation, trade barrier and preferably, Bitcoin as the currency, because sure they would want neither the loonies nor the greenback) then I am happy to donate some Sats to their cause!
