Alberta doesn't have to be fucked, but voting so right-wing, they will fuck themselves. They'll be like a company that delivers milk by the bottle, instead of transitioning to selling cartons in stores, coming up with increasingly elaborate bottles, singing delivery men, etc. Unless they return to Notley-style leadership soon, and sustain it for longer, it's over for them too.

NL has the potential to do the same thing as Iceland. Focus on increasing Hydro electric production then go chasing aluminium and other similar industries.
BC, Manitoba and Quebec are very Hydro dependent. They will be fine. Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario will adapt.
