Laut Meinungsforscher würden Volksabstimmungen in Alberta und Quebec wahrscheinlich an der Besorgnis der Kanadier scheitern

In Alberta’s case why would joining the most powerful country on the planet, getting an immediate bump on the price of its largest export and not have to send billions to Quebec, sorry, federal coffers (to be immediately redistributed to Quebec) be bad for them? Not to mention the immediate increase in buying power from a stronger currency. I’m not seeing any downside here.
