Trade them Minnesota for Alberta straight up.

Win-win.

At this point how about we just GIVE them Minnesota...if they want to give us Alberta that's great but I just want to be done with that state altogether and let Canada deal with them.

Fascism!!

Take it……Take it…..Take it…TAKE IT, TAKE IT, TAKE IT!!!!

If Alberta seperates, Canada would further fragment.

Quebec would take Newfoundland
Ontario would likely take most of the rest. Manitoba, Sask.
BC + NW + Yukon

We could package Seattle with BC.

SK would definitely go with Alberta over Ontario. Manitoba is harder to say, probably goes with Ontario. I think a separatist state is more likely than joining the US but at this point I don't see how Alberta benefits from staying part of Canada and letting Ontario and Quebec tell them how to live and take their money when all they have to do is vote to leave. They still have just enough socialism/brainwashing mindset that they may not want to join the US and that's ok too, would love for them to leave Canada though and fracture the hell out of that country. If they can separate enough of BC/NW Territories to connect it to Alaska that would be ideal.

Generally though a lot of Albertans are more Texan than many Texans.

The UN will send 53 troops and a helicopter to defend them.

Also blankets, water bottles, and tampons.

So when Canada agrees to all of Trumps demands, will libs still cry TACO for him not implementing the 50% tariff?

Trying to understand how TACOs work?

Yeah, it sounds like they've been playing around with Gulfstream certifications, which was stupid for them to do. I am not sure about 'decertifications' but their aviation industry depends a lot on US sales, ours in return not so much.

Canada has been living off of the US pretty much their entire existence and screwing us on trade without so much as a by your leave.

Like all libs, they've come to believe that we owe them a living and they're entitled to our generosity with absolutely no strings attached.

F'em. Let them learn the hard way.

I hate leftists.

This is also in response to the Grippen thing. Canada says we won't buy your F-35s. Okay, well now your leading aircraft manufacturer is bankrupt. I have a friend that works on trade things (not related to Canada) but it's openly talked about how condescending and delusional the Canadian delegations have been. Carney is playing Eurocrat games in a country that has 75-80% of it's exports going to the US.

In addition the Albertans know, and I'm sure the Trump administration has made clear, that if they vote for independence and the Canadians don't negotiate in good faith, they can just declare independence, the US recognizes it and says oh hey we'll sign this trade agreement, and guarantee your sovreignty. No statehood needed.

Canada at that point is absolutely f'd.

They can't take Alberta back by force. They will have to recognize it or their entire economy stops. Not just US goods but anything being shipped from west to east stops. And then if they get feisty you stop and inspect ships at the canal. Now they're wholy dependent on goods shipped from Europe. There are no rail lines OR highways north of Alberta that connect. So now BC is completely isolated. An attempt to throw out their independence might lead to referendums (and/or crackdowns) in SK, MB and the Yukon. At that point Canada is completely fractured and unable to function.

The sad fact is that Carney and Ottowa are acting as a hostile nation. It's not particularly subtle. I'm sure Smith knows that the smart play is to slow roll this and support from the side. If Alberta votes to go, which I'd say is a 60/40 against, Canada as it has been known is gone.

The problem with that is that most of MN counties are Republican. Like CA, IL, and NY, once you get out of the cities, you find some fairly conservative folks.

If Canada separates, then it will be the fault of a Liberal Party too consumed with Ontario and Quebec over the interests of everyone else.

The United States will just be there to pick up the pieces.

Good post, though I think the decline is intentional, and the steps from referendum to an actual negotiation to a vote to secede will still take a year or two at minimum.

They keep telling us everything’s fine.

The numbers say otherwise.
0.5% growth in a decade.

And, they really are quite socially/politically different vs. the rest of the Canadian provinces, even with state-run media.

Alberta is already a different country than Canada...

Trump on Canada:

We don’t want China to take over Canada. And if they make the deal that he’s looking to make, China will take over Canada.

Chief Troll mode Trump.

We'd have to wall in Minneapolis St. Paul can't let those radlib twunts escape. The actual state line could be high fenced and patrolled for any loose loons.
