Summary
What if Alberta went solo? A transportation exec warns it wouldn’t be a crash—but a slow, costly grind. Jeff McCaig of Trimac Transportation says businesses would face mountains of new paperwork, duplicated systems, and hidden costs, especially in trucking and aviation. With federal agreements like Canada-U.S. Open Skies suddenly out of reach, Alberta would need to build its own recognized aviation authority—or scramble for temporary deals. The fallout? More friction, less predictability, and a chilling effect on investment—echoing Brexit’s messy reality, not a sudden halt.
