More like “it’ll be our new Puerto Rico, or CNMI”. If any Albertan (cause it’s really only Albertans that think being American would be better than being Canadian) thinks the US is going to treat Albertans like equals, i have a war with Venezuela to sell them.
America is interested in Alberta’s resources, not it’s people. They will bleed Alberta dry, and then leave them with nothing but a planet sized mess to clean up.
I hope Albertans realize this before it’s too late for them. If they think being Canadian sucks…wait until they’re less than Americans.
For sure. If the US goes the length of annexing Canada or part thereof without the consent of most Canadians, then there’s little point conceding electoral power to the undoubtedly indignant population.
Of course not. These selfish, racist, bigoted fucks in Alberta have no idea they’re signing themselves up to be thrown under the bus.
I can’t stand them (and my fb feed is full of old friends who have fallen to the dark side) but i still feel like we should protect them from the absolute gulag Alberta would become if it became a US territory.
If you live in Alberta, and love the idea of becoming the 51st state, go to Saipan. I’ve been there…it sucks.
I too like to help people out but I don’t know if we’ll survive absorbing Florida and Texas while remaining a federal democracy. We already have Alberta and it’s difficult. 😅
(AB canucks, this is a joke. Please don’t get mad at me. If you still do, I apologize.)
Washington and Oregon at least are part of the West Coast, and I don’t know how much Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas would complain. Outside of urban areas the country seems to be pretty red regardless of where you go, and those states are definitely not known for being very urban.
If Canada got rid of FPTP, proportional representation and ranked voting across all its provinces (Texas and Florida would become provinces) and federation (get rid of the monarchy), Florida and Texas would be much less of an issue.
For sure. That said PR isn’t a panacea. It solves a legitimate issue but it doesn’t solve the orthogonal and serious problem of democracy’s tendency to represent large capital.
Is Canada that big on charities? I know they’re well known as being pleasant and kind, but are they so pleasant and kind that they’d accept a catastrophically bankrupt welfare country as their own?
“It’ll be our beautiful 51st state!”

More like the US will be bought by Canada.

Just take the northeast (NY, VT, CT, MA, NH, RI, ME), and the west coast. The rest won’t complain.
Please do, I would rather be Canadian these days.
A few more states would be happy to join I’d say.
The PNW would complain.

Ugh. Try living here!

One can only hope. Just think of it as a renovation project.

There no expected ROI on America for decades!
They can just own it like a colony. All the control, none of the financial responsibility.
Isn’t that already allocated to Greenland? So 52nd it is!
I bet their president can’t name 9 states. This isn’t even a jke
