Alberta, Canada's western, oil rich province, may hold a pleibescite for independence and Donald Trump has promised to recognize an independent Alberta if they choose to leave the Soviet Republic of Canada.

While polls show such a plan going down in flames, the fact is Alberta's governor has extended the time to collect signatures and lowered the threshhold for signatures to put the measure on a ballot (from 600,000 to 177,000). Support for independence jumped from 25% to 36%, which is a sizable gain, although a loss of sixty percent would still be a bloodbath. But Brexit looked to be a lost cause until the votes were counted and Britain is now no longer officially a member of the European Union (although it's leaders simply refuseed to obey the will of the People and act as if they are still members.)Alberexit is being promoted by The Alberta Prosperity Project, a collection of businessmen and community groups.

Alberta is quite unhappy with the governance of the Liberal Party and Mark Carn-evil Carney. They believe they have more in common with Montana, or North Dakota, or even Texas, than with the people in Ontario or Quebec.

And Trump has promised to recognize their independence and perhaps even annex them if they so wish.

Alberta has suffered from the radical environmentalism of the Trudeau and Carney governments, and their standard of living has dorpped preciptiously thanks to draconian regulations on oil and gas drilling.

Canada as a nation never made all that much sense; it was simply territory the United States couldn't conqquer, and many Torys in the U.S. moved there after the American Revolution. It's primary identity is wrapped up in the idea it isn't the U.S. (which is why they elected Carney after Trump foolishly trolled them about annexation.) Their independence day is July 1, so it coincided with the American July 4, no other reason. They celebrate Thanksgiving in october instead of Novemember (an Americcan holiday) because of the cold,but sttill they borrowed our holiday. Their flag and their national anthem were designed by committees.

And they are two peoples, two cultures, united only by the fact they weren't Americans and were protected by the British. No other reason. They have no military heroes to speak of,and in fact they were livid when American forces accidentally bombed some of their troopos in Afghanistan, not because they lost people so much as because they were proud of not having lost anyone since WWII - what does that say about them? A military loses people or it's not fighting wars.

Canada is a nice, pleasant place with kind, overly polite people - a good place to live if you have no ambition. If you want more, try to make a business or live a bigger life, it's not the place for you. And God help you if you get sick and need specialized treatment!

Canada is French and Anglo. Two cultures generally do not get along well in one country, and the fact is Canada has always had a split personality. It's not a healthy union; obsessive politeness is one of their national attributes because they dare not speak their minds lest the whole thing fall apart. It's a bad marriage where the husband and wife pretend everything is great when they are seething underneath. Now Alberta is tired of the charade,as often happens in bad marriages.

I am not thrilled with annexing any part of canada; even the most conservative parts will probably wind up being purple states, nor red. And given the size of Alberta it would probably have to be broke up into several states. That could be good for us; we could wind up getting new Republican senators. But who knows? They could wind up being Democrats too. Certainly other Canadian provinces would.

Also, I rather like the existence of Canada. It's American in culture and language but not American. I like variety in life.

But I like the protection of the American Republic more, and if it is necessary to annex Alberta I say Welcome Aboard!

Any way you slice it I doubt the Dominion of Canada will last another hundred years; it has too little in common and is horribly mismanaged by the left which dominates the federal government. In the end it's not a stable country. And it is now overrun by illegal aliens and in time the character of Canada will change dramatically. Her days are numbered.
