Canada has a history of separatists, most notably Quebec who held two referendums on the issue.

The first (in 1980) was rejected by 60% of Quebec voters. The second (in 1995) was extremely close -- 50.6% to 49.4% against separation.

After the last vote the Quebec separatist movement seemed to die down a bit.

While we should pay attention to what some Albertans say on the issue I am hopeful that others will look to Brexit and Quebec for teachable moments.
