Even if they voted to leave Canada, I don’t see Ottawa allowing it to happen..............

Yeah...All of that dirty oil and gas is nothing to base a culture upon, but it comes in handy for funding the liberal party.

Their Constitution, unlike ours, has specific allowances for secession. Even most of the Crown land is actually owned by the Province. Ottawa's main weapon to frustrate secession is a number of treaties made with Canadian Injuns (Metis, First Nations) that cover a LOT more than reservations. They don't want to go anywhere, and there are enough of them (~250,000) to make them hard to buy off.
