Whatd'ya think boys, shall we let 'em in?
They're liberals. Only if we get Alberta at the same time.
Like in the 1850's: one slave state, one free state.
Yeah, we'll take BC, Alberta, AND Saskatchewan. TWO red provinces for one blue. Whatcha think of that?
Yeah, no deal on BC because we won't take Vanouver and all their pot-smoking snowboarders. Alberta is the state we want--great people and lots of oil. We'll trade Maine, Vermont, and Mass. for Alberta. Then Howard Dean can become Prime Minister of Canada (his 2nd favorite job.)
