I work in a very blue collar job in Ontario and I know of a lot of guys who are seriously interested in moving to Alberta with some already actively in the planning stage. No idea how they would vote in a referendum if they were eligible but most of them are disillusioned with Canada. I imagine it’s similar in many other job sites.

Yeah, I don’t think so. Nobody is going to be moving to Alberta en masse as the price of oil craters after oil demand peaks.
Alberta is bound set and determined to base their entire economy around oil, and it’s going to be a rough place when why that’s a mistake becomes apparent.

While Alberta has gotten more expensive than before, it is still relatively cheap comparted to BC.
I already know the comments will criticize the provinces reliance on oil, but until you can show me proof of oil going obsolete, people across the world will still need it, and Alberta can provide it.
Lower taxes, lower cost of living, and higher disposable income, will always entice people.
