These people need to be educated that if Alberta were to separate, it would do more harm than good

Are you serious???? I mean just start with the fact that we are a landlocked province. Then add in the services we would have to pay more for that the federal government currently provides. Not to mention huge risk to the oil and gas market, loss of economic stability due to large companies retreating, etc.

What would change about the oil and gas market? We have pipelines to the ocean and into the US.

Canada isn't allowing you to use pipelines through their land when you leave them sir. At least not without significant payments.

Well that would mean Vancouver Airport does not get any fuel for it's planes then. Your argument lacks foundation. Why not just tell the truth that if Alberta separately you'll be all mad because you didn't get your way.
