Alberta is definitely up for grabs. They are completely fed up of providing the country with energy and being treated like crap by the federal government.
I was reading an article the other day by an opinion columnist for one of the left leaning publications and he said "let Alberta go, they are only 15% of the economy, it would hurt but we can weather that".
I think he forgot energy is the first input to everything and the economy won't be performing very well when people don't have heat, gasoline or food.

America will take dirty, polluting, ugly Alberta off your hands, if you build a border wall.

Sounds like the American leftists who talk about letting Texas secede.

The average person has no clue what goes into maintaining their standard of living. Food comes from the grocery store, electricity from the outlet and gasoline from the gas station. They just presume that would continue.

I think Alberta being up for grabs (constitutional crisis) is what will provide Carney cover to distance himself from his ESG/net-zero past, and to cozy on up to the administration down south.

Didn't I just see him talking about making Canada fully net-zero and putting climate change at the center of every financial decision?

He certainly campaigned as more moderate. We will see how he governs. He doesn't have a majority but he effectively does if he gets the NDP on board, which shouldn't be too hard.
