001What can Alberta realistically learn from Quebec, Brexit, Scotland, and other independence movements?Case studies can clarify tradeoffs but must not be treated as direct predictions for Alberta.

Referenced claims

001case-studiesQuebec, Scotland, Brexit, and other cases can clarify process questions and transition risks, but none is a direct prediction for Alberta.

002case-studiesScotland is useful for referendum authorization and pre-vote analysis, but it should not be treated as proof that Alberta would receive similar terms or face similar institutions.
