The Heck with Greenland, Let's Go for Alberta Instead.
2020-01-04
[Spectator via Lucianne] Here is how the American government might pull this off. Step 1: Formally notify the government of Alberta that if it would like to secede from Canada and join this federation of 50 states, its application would be fast tracked and special regulatory consideration would be given to the province’s energy sector. Step 2: Make popcorn.

#6  The impression I get from reading Small Dead Animals blog is that the western provinces are rather disappointed with the rest of Canada and might go for the deal.

Trump should make the offer. Alberta might go for it. At the very least, they could use it as leverage dealing with leftist greenies in Ottawa.

#4  Washington State for Alberta. Straight up trade.

Well, anything west of the mountains. The rest of Washington is pretty conservative and sane.

I would also be down with this as all of my inlaws live in Seattle and Canada can have their insane asses.

#3  Washington State for Alberta. Straight up trade. If it works out we can talk about other trades later.

Step 1: Formally notify the government of Alberta that if it would like to secede from Canada and join this federation of 50 states, its application would be fast tracked and special regulatory consideration would be given to the province’s energy sector.

The U.S. could sweeten the deal by offering up Kalifornia to Canada. But it probably won't be necessary to offer up Kalifornia to sweeten the deal because with all the Dem voting corruption clean up in Kalifornia, it will become a Red State soon.

#1  Interesting, in a number of ways. Our lefties would blow another gasket, lefties in Canada would join in, Trudeau would be especially pissed, because Alberta might even give it some serious consideration. Trump's got absolutely nothing to lose here.
