What happened

Why it matters
The potential for Alberta to gain independence could reshape its economic and political relationship with the United States. Independence advocates argue that breaking from Canada would free the oil-rich province from environmental regulations, benefiting its energy industry and taxpayers. The political instability is compounded by international trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada.
