Let me start this off by saying that I don't think Alberta separatism is a good idea. But like it or not, there are some who say that Alberta (possibly including Saskatchewan, Manitoba or parts of BC) should separate and become an independent country from Canada. Edmonton is the proposed national capital. The Free Alberta Strategy (https://www.freealbertastrategy.com/the_strategy), which the new Premier states she is following, proposes sovereignty for Western Canada if Alberta is not able to secure certain concessions from Canada. On the last page of the strategy, it confirms that Edmonton would be the capital of the new country of Western Canada.
What would it mean to Edmonton to become a national capital?
How would that affect our city?
Do we need to be doing anything today to prepare?
Would this be a net positive or negative for Edmonton?

4. If that final vote were successful, a declaration of Alberta’s independence
would be made to the international community, and the implementation of
the Committee’s proposal would commence, beginning with an election,
under Alberta’s new constitution, to elect a federal Western Canadian
Government, based in Edmonton, Alberta.
