Part 11/14:
The Strategic Geopolitical and Security Implications
Alberta's potential independence is viewed by many as a strategic move, particularly in the context of global energy politics and hemispheric defense. With vast hydrocarbon reserves and access to the Arctic, Alberta could serve as a gateway for North American strategic interests, especially as Greenland and the polar region become increasingly significant in international security.
Furthermore, American officials and defense strategists see Alberta’s move as an opportunity to solidify continental defense links, integrate security infrastructure, and control key chokepoints—such as ports and transit corridors—across Western Canada.
