Not a bad starting point but given Alberta has entertained the possibility specifically on becoming a state I think it is a bit strong to state no one in Canada wants to be a state.

The Canucks are simply being unfailingly polite.

Greenland and Canada have both set out why they’re not big fans of the idea - they don’t have school shootings, their society isn’t deeply polarised, they don’t get bankrupted by extortionate private healthcare, they don’t mind paying taxes, and they don’t mind paying import tariffs.

Alberta is looking at the offer from the US and saying, very politely, it is worth a discussion. In much the same way that my Dad said he was “open to a talk about it” when six-year-old me said I wanted an ant farm with army ants in it.

I didn’t get one.
