Btw, after a Russia-backed insurgency separated parts of Donbas from Ukraine in 2014, an estimated 20-50% of residents left and moved to other parts of Ukraine. I.e. mass emigration did follow when marginal, unpopular separatists were used by an aggressive neighbour to carve up the country.
If Albertans vote to separate, there could be mass emigration, with 77% saying they'd leave.
