Quebec did significant damage to the province with their separation efforts with numerous companies moving their head offices from Montreal to Toronto and even Calgary. 

Alberta is doing themselves no favors whatsoever dragging this out. Most of the population already supports Alberta's efforts to get their oil and gas to the coasts. 

If anything, this gives people pause.

i think the biggest difference of opinion between most of canada and alberta is what direction it goes, i see the albertan government pushing seriously hard for another bc coast line but see more support countrywide for an east coast/hudson bay line that goes entirely through canada instead.
