An independent Alberta would borrow cheaply and enjoy a strong credit rating.
Stated by: Implied by some Alberta independence proposals
Summary
No rating agency has assessed a hypothetical independent Alberta, and no published independent analysis estimates what its borrowing costs would be after severing from a G7 economy. The answer would depend on the terms of separation, the share of national debt assumed, currency arrangements, and investor confidence, none of which have been settled. With no reliable public information, this claim can be neither confirmed nor ruled out.
Evidence
Reviewers note that no independent fiscal analysis has been published on the likely impact on Alberta's borrowing costs of separating from a G7 economy.

Borrowing terms would turn on unresolved questions, the share of national debt assumed and currency arrangements, that are subject to negotiation.
