51st state? Alberta’s break-up talk with Canada gets real: ‘It’s time that we’re set free’

Edmonton rules Alberta. It’s full of globalist progressives and foreigners.

[Orosius]

Throw in Saskatchewan, BC, NW Territories and the Yukon and it’s a deal. All the way to Alaska.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yes. Trade Hawaii for Alberta.

[DennisR]

Alberta actually gets taxed so that money can be sent to other poorer provinces.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

BC is ultra liberal and chock full of chinamen. No thanks.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Carve out Vancouver to add to a "Greater Seattle / Puget Sound" megalopolis and you've got a deal.

I would agree, I don’t see the province voting to split. If they ever do the world would be shocked at how quickly they became a thriving and successful country since they wouldn’t have the Canadian socialists standing on their necks.

[HYPOCRACY]

Offer them the same status Puerto Rico.

[AndyJackson]

BC has some real left coast whackos ala Oregon and CalFornicators.

[sasportas]

Except for BC I think you are right, Vancouver pretty much rules BC.

If they had a referendum on Alberta separation, I predict it will get no more than 30% of the vote.

If it looks to be that low, then I predict they won’t even hold the referendum.

Separatist movements in Canada are not serious affairs. They’re designed to build leverage against the federal government, which means the best scenario for a province is to have a separation referendum fail by a very narrow margin. Because the last thing any of those provinces want is a referendum like that to PASS.

People of Alberta WILL decide,not us....

[cherry]

Infact,perhaps Alberta will accept some of us in the northwest to become one of them.

[tarator]

Trade rich coastal areas with strategic naval bases, home to Microsoft, Amazon and Boeing for frozen tundra that wants to join us anyways? You may want to rethink that.

[Sacajaweau]

Trump throws one little bone....and we’re 100s of articles down the road on something that will never happen. lol

[toddausauras]

Nope. The party in power will gladly crush with any means necessary. Everyone can waste time dreaming of Alberta separating it’s your life but it will never happen.

[RKV]

Sounds right.

[howlinhound]

Alberta may face the same speed bump that Quebec did, namely, they were told if they separated that they would have to take with them their share of the national debt. Canada has a crushing national debt that, in proportion, is just as onerous as the US national debt.

[JimRed]

Perhaps they’d prefer to be a separate nation, not part of the U.S.
