I'm from Atlantic Canada, where everyone seems hopelessly liberal. I have no idea what is happening in Alberta/Saskatchewan, so I would love to hear some opinions. Is there really any chance of Wexit happening in the next 5 years?

Considering how fast things are moving now, five years feels like twenty years.
There is a significant chunk of working Albertans that are tied to education and healthcare - to stay in these professions you either have to submit to group think or keep your opinions to yourself at the very least.
However, the gravy train is long gone in Alberta and the tax base to pay the salaries of healthcare and education workers is eroding.
Two things will inevitably happen:
Hyperinflation will kick in as Canadian currency will be debased at a record pace to cover insane increases in borrowing.
This will make those with jobs nearly as poor as those without jobs, as the purchasing power of the dollar will be a fraction of what it is today.
Once these two things happen, WEXIT may become a reality, as Canada will be economically destroyed.
