  2. Insurance premiums tumaas dahil sa lagay ng panahon. Ang matinding lagay ng panahon ay nagdulot ng dramatikong pagtaas sa insurance premiums ng Alberta, kung saan ang mga may-ari ng ari-arian ay humaharap sa malalaking pagtaas.

  3. Pagluwag sa U.S. tariffs, tumitinding retorika ng paghihiwalay. Ang pagluwag sa U.S. tariffs sa Alberta ay tinatabi ng pagtaas ng retorika ng paghihiwalay, dahil may ilan na nagaangkin na kayang suportahan ng ekonimiya nito ang kalayaan mula sa Canada.
