CAn we trade Albert for Miniesota.  They are about the same size and shape.  We could just swap the two.  Or transport one for the other like that Twilight Episode where the aliens took a whole town to their planet.

Isn't Quebec scheduled to vote on secession before Alberta?

Party Quebequois (sp?) came pretty close the last time. They may do even better this time.

Old joke:

The USA won the War of 1812. Despite the British and Canadians sacking and burning numerous American cities, when the end of the war came they had to keep Quebec.

I'd say no longer an 'if' but a 'when'.

Alberta will need access to US pipelines and ports to transport the massive amounts of oil it produces once out from Ottawa's yoke.

And I wish ATB Financial was publicly traded as it may swell in size exponentially with all the cash coming into it.
The largest government-owned Canadian bank might compete with the largest publicly-traded banks in Canada.

Same with neighboring states(not New Mexico) once Texas says it has had enough.

I'd prefer Alberta to Venezuela as our 51st state, that's for sure.

The only 51 state will be if one of the current 50 splits off, or when the dems get back in power and let DC or PR come on in.

Trump is joking about Venezuela. Alberta OTOH would be contiguous and an easy fit for being part of the USA.

I'm thinking those in Alberta are fed up and they will likely vote to secede. As for them becoming a state or territory of the U.S. -- welcome!

Why not just ask Texas to exercise its right to split into 5 states?

Would be a better result.

Alberta is the Texas of Canada. They'd opt for being able to continue extracting oil and other minerals. That alone would have them lean Republican.
Health care is a wild card.
Guns might be the issue that would push them in the Right direction.

Well, if you split Alaska down the middle, Texas would be the third largest state, and at least one part of Alaska would lean real GOP.

Frankly, I do not want a 51st state of anything.  Not the PR, Washington, DC, nor Alberta.  Canadians think very different than we do.  I do not see them becoming part of the USA.  I spent a year there working, and every girl that was chasing me was only interested if I came and moved there to live in Canada.  Glad I did not make that mistake.  Made others, but not that one!

That ain't right, exactly. All of Canada ain't the same as Ottowa. Alberta, Saskatchewan, and inland BC are all Western AF, love freedom, love guns, pro-industry, pro-family, pro-God, pro-farmer/cattleman... You can cross the Alberta line, and other than gas prices going metric and Timmy Horton's on every street corner instead of Starbucks, you'd never know the difference. Omitting Vancouver, and other than hockey, Western CA folks are salt of the earth.

Alberta is culturally more like Wyoming or Texas than it is like Ontario or Quebec.  Politics is downstream from culture (as the Left knows, but precious few on the Right seem to get).  That and the oil-extraction base of their economy would make them a fairly reliable GOP state were they to leave Canada and join the Union (at least as long as the 'Rats insist on vilifying fossil fuels as part of using "climate change" as an excuse for a state take over of the energy economy).

I think they're the only Canadian province I'd really like to see join the Union.  Maybe Saskatchewan or the Yukon.  Manitoba leans too far left (think of it as Minnnesota North), Ontario, Quebec (who wouldn't want to join anyway), BC and the Maritimes are even worse..

But Texas can do it unilaterally without Congress.  Alaska cannot do that.
