No, Canada isn’t joining America anytime soon. But Alberta may be another matter.
Alberta is headed toward a referendum on splitting from Canada. And while I’ve seen polls with numbers all over the place, this Leger poll is being quoted all over the place to suggest that it may be really close.
Nearly two thirds of Canadians (62%) oppose Alberta becoming an independent country, including 50% who say they are strongly opposed. Opposition is highest in British Columbia (76%) and Ontario (69%) and among Liberal (83%) and NDP voters (80%). In Alberta, however, support is notably higher, with 47% in favour and only 48% opposed.
If true, those numbers are pretty close.
But even assuming this were to happen (and I really doubt it will), this doesn’t mean statehood. Most Albertans polled want an independent country. (Most really want the job-killing ‘green’ regulations of the Carney regime to end and this is leverage) but it’s not hard to sketch a scenario getting from A to B to C.
Maybe.
One problem with this sales pitch is that America just had a good election, but why join another ‘union’ that’s potentially one election away from letting California determine your energy production regulations? Even assuming Alberta split, America would have to have its house in better order. But that’s still the most direct route to 51.
Left-wing Alberta as an American state? No thanks. We already have too many D-Bags infesting the country.
Alberta is decidedly not left wing. Much of Canada is way too left these days, but Alberta is one of the outliers that is definitely conservative.
But as Greenfield points out, why would Alberta risk having California become the new Ottawa?
I’ve read over and over again how Alberta is filled with conservatives. Well, they’re also Canadians, and the “conservatives” in Canada are more like the RINO’s in America. If Alberta votes to leave Canada, and the Canadian government permits it, and they wish to become our 51st state, then this is the prescription that needs to be followed.
Let them do what Texas did. Form their own nation, and after we’ve seen how they govern themselves for at least five years, then we can talk. But truth be told, I see no need for a Canadian 51st state, and in point of fact, I see no need for any further additions to statehood. That’s a Trojan Horse.
The problem there is like the problem here, except Canada, like Europe, is further on the decline than we are.
Canada’s PM had an emergency meeting with Trump because he knew Canada (like so much of the world) cannot survive without U.S. economic support in various forms. That meeting is what prompted Trump bluntly to observe Canada is not rightly a nation if it cannot exist without us and should become the next state.
We must do the same. Exist without dependence upon foreign entanglements. We must become energy independent and manufacture everything we need here again. Unlike so many other nations, we have the resources and technology to do it. Let the “knowledge economy” be ours also. China can’t exist without stealing our knowledge and technology and then threatens us with it. They make the drugs and antibiotics upon which we depend – and lots of other things, but they are not our friends.
They would change their name from Alberta, Canada to Alberta, California, USA
I would think that Canada is closer to being the 51st because of the CCP economic, political and military infiltration. The central bank influence there is bad enough but we can’t allow a deadly enemy on our border. Although with their mostly leftist voters in our elections, that would make them the enemy from within. .
