Albrexit
Timothy Birdnow
Hopefully the 51st U.S. state!
FTA:
Premier Danielle Smith says Albertans will be able to vote in the fall on whether they want the province to hold a binding referendum on separating from Canada.
In a pre-recorded speech broadcast Thursday evening, Smith said a question will be added to a provincewide referendum in October that will ask, "Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”
Smith said a vote in favour of separation doesn’t trigger the process, but will instead allow Alberta to start a legal process required to hold a binding referendum.
There had been a petition circulating to press for a vote to secede from Canada and a Court of Kigs judge (that would be a good name for a whiskey) suppressed it. Apparently Madam Smith was triggered by the court ruling and so is attaching this to a referendum that, if approved, will lead to an independence referendum. So typically Canadian - have a vote to decide if you are going to have a vote.
So what happens if Alberta does secede? The Dominion of Canada is likely to add so many herefors and wherefors and the like that the whole thing will collapse of it's own weight. The only logical course for the Albertans is to apply for annexation to the U.S. I doubt they will ever be an independent country. Canada will see to that.
Alberta is most dissatisfied with Mark Carney and his leftist agenda, particularly his Gang Green-ous policies that are preventing oil-rich Alberta from accessing their own province's wealthy.
Well, they are welcome here, and two Conservative Senators would be most welcome in these United States, as well as the oil. Granted, the whole thing might shift back to Bidenism, but adding them would certainly be a boon to us. After all, the Democrats are talking about making Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. into states so as to tip the balance of power - why shouldn't we do likewise? Alberta would be Trump country.
We'd be even more oil-rich than we are now, I might add.
Canada never made sense as a nation, and it's whole existence is predicated on their not being Americans. Nothing more binds them together. It's amazing the whole rotten structure has lasted as long as it has.
And I suspect if Alberta leaves the Dominion then so too will Quebec, which has long sought to do so. Quebec never did belong in Canada anyway; it is a Franco culture in a large Anglo one and has always demanded special privileges.
So Canada will probably break up. British Columbia would likely become a nation of it's own too, and Ontario will dominate the remains as Saskatchewan and Manitoba lack the population that Ontario has. So we may well get three separate countries out of secession, and the only good one will join us in the states. Canada will slip from a fourth rate power to a tenth rate power (not that anyone would notice) and the U.S. would just get stronger.
I'd like to have the Yukon Territory too. That would just be fun.
It's going to take a long time, but Brexit didn't happen overnight. The British are still fighting over it. Albrexit is an idea whose time has come.

I can't say I'm in favor of it. Canadians aren't the same as we Americans are, when it comes to "Liberals" and "Conservatives," and they don't have the same ideas as we do regarding our Bill of Rights, especially the first two Articles thereof. Yes, it would be nice to have the oil, but I'd not at all want to trust them where it comes to fitting into our politics. Leave 'em where they are, who they are.
And for Heaven's sakes, let 'em keep that stuff they call "bacon!"

Very true Dana but Alberta is more like an American state than a Canadian province; far, far more conservative than the rest of the country. I think we could integrate them fairly well.
I wouldn't want the rest of Canada. It would hand the Democrats a permanent majority.
