Canada

Complex geopolitics at play.

Both Alberta and Saskatchewan hold key natural resources (oil and potash).

Both are essentially land locked and are unsustainable as soverign nations being surrounded by the US and Canada.

If either seceded from Canada, the most likely outcome is annexation by or willingly joining the US, which would be problematic for Canadian sovereignty as a whole.

I'm all for Alberta's self determination but Canada cannot and will not allow allow this to happen.

If Albertans don't like that, I fully support them seeking asylum / refugee status in the US.

I might have said this before ICE started kidnapping people off the streets with no due process. If AB became American, how would BC connect with the rest of Canada? Ain't no way anyone is going to drive around, and flying over is too expensive.

I'm not crossing the American border anytime soon; likely never again in my life.
