Alberta separatism

Okay kiddo, so some people in the province of Alberta feel like they want to be separate from the rest of Canada. They want to be their own country called "Alberta."

You know how you have your own toys and you like to play with them by yourself sometimes? Well, it's kind of like that. They think they can run their own province better if they didn't have to listen to the rules made by the people who live in other parts of Canada.

But separating isn't easy and there are a lot of things to consider. For example, how would they manage their own money and resources like oil and gas? Would they be able to trade with other countries on their own? And what about things like health care and education that are usually provided by the federal government?

So even though some people in Alberta are talking about separation, it's not something that will happen right away or without a lot of thought and planning.
