What's a threat to Canadian unity isn't Alberta, but it's pushing Alberta isolation like this that's doing it.

It seems like only 20% of Alberta actually wants succession, and a lot of it is conditional on BC joining them, which is basically a nonstarter for BC anyways.

The threat to Canada is Alberta feeling isolated and articles like this furthers such sentiment.

I get your point but Alberta's government, chosen by Albertans, are putting unity at stake. So while I agree that public support isn't favourable to this ones specific decision, the people in power are testing the waters and this also matters a lot, so the article isn't suddenly invalidated just because it's the wishes of a minority. It can still be dangerous.
