Alberta needs a pathway through a foreign country to get their oil out right now. Existing pipelines lead to the US, and the Keystone XL expansion Obama halted, Trump resumed, and Biden halted.
An independent Alberta will likely join the US, and of course building a domestic-only pipeline is easier than doing so across national borders.
