They can't actually leave. The lands are indigenous and have not been ceded to the province or the crown. There are treaties allowing the crown to use them (in this case, as the province of Alberta), but basically it's as though I've got a tenant in a bedroom saying he's going to keep the bedroom, stop paying rent, and he owns it now.

Ah yes the most extreme right wing will surely care about law and order as well as indigenous treaties

In this case, I don't think it particularly matters if they care about law and order or not.

Unless USA decides to help them secede with the backing of the American military (which isn't impossible, but for now, we'll call it unlikely), then the secession process is going to go about the same as Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy. They declare it, wave their little F Carney flags around, roll some coal, and continue to be part of Canada.
