No Alberta will have a war with its aboriginal population as they don't want to join USA.
What happens if I switch nouns so it's California joining Canada?

I don't think the "legality" of separation is a real blocker here, are you insinuating that if the Quebec referendum on its sovereignty would have succeeded that it would have remained a province because it was "illegal"?

I agree with you, but that is what the Canadian press is saying. Just look at the Andrew Coyne articles, among many others, that make this precise argument about legality of separation. And yes they also suggest that Quebec separation would’ve been illegal and not happened too.
Canadians like to argue that no province can secede from Canada because it would be illegal but the reality is that if a referendum showed 50%+ of people in Alberta supported independence then the US would support Alberta and that’s the only thing that matters. A lot of Canadian press is wilfully ignorant of that fact.
