I wonder if Canada has cheating in their elections too.
The Canadians in my extended family are in many ways the kind of rugged self-reliant farmer types us Americans would be proud of having in our families. Yet, decades of "free" healthcare and such has made them loyally vote for more government control over their lives with no talking them out of it. They think we're lying when we tell them we don't wait for a year and a half for hip replacements and such.
If the United States ever breaks up into two countries and if there is a conservative nation in the middle from Montana to Texas, Alberta should be invited to join. Good people there, and with freedom to build pipelines, Alberta oil and natural gas could be transported to Houston or New Orleans for export. Texas, Oklahoma, and North Dakota, joined by Alberta, would be an energy powerhouse to rival the Middle East.
