Traders assign a 97.3% probability against Alberta joining the United States because separatist sentiment remains limited, with recent polls showing only 15-33% support for independence from Canada and even lower backing (around 6-20%) for U.S. annexation. A binding referendum scheduled for October 19, 2026, asks solely whether Alberta should become an independent state, not join the U.S., and legal, constitutional, and First Nations hurdles make secession improbable. U.S. officials held limited meetings with separatist groups in 2025-2026 and issued neutral comments on Alberta as a "natural partner," but both Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have reaffirmed respect for Canadian sovereignty. No formal U.S. or Canadian policy supports annexation, and historical precedent plus economic integration barriers reinforce the consensus. Late shifts could arise only from a successful referendum followed by unforeseen bilateral negotiations or major political realignments, both of which remain distant.

Only announcements of official agreements or actions (e.g. a ratified treaty, signed legislation, etc.) will count - mere suggestions, negotiations, or posts on Social Media will not.
