A 51st state, perhaps?

at this point, yea. Just invade, already; annex, at least the Western provinces

There's only one small road connecting it to the other provinces. That hardly requires an invasion. Just send like 4 guys in a couple of pickup trucks to block entry.

Edit: They can also collect the tariffs, while they're there.

excellent. It's in the White House memo already, yes?

Alberta is definitely up for grabs. They are completely fed up of providing the country with energy and being treated like crap by the federal government.

I was reading an article the other day by an opinion columnist for one of the left leaning publications and he said "let Alberta go, they are only 15% of the economy, it would hurt but we can weather that".

I think he forgot energy is the first input to everything and the economy won't be performing very well when people don't have heat, gasoline or food.

Maybe after hearing our draft day trade segment on the pod we can be hired to broker the deal.

America will take dirty, polluting, ugly Alberta off your hands, if you build a border wall.

Buy now and we'll throw in taking on the burden of managing the St. Lawrence shipping lane for free.

Sounds like the American leftists who talk about letting Texas secede.

The average person has no clue what goes into maintaining their standard of living. Food comes from the grocery store, electricity from the outlet and gasoline from the gas station. They just presume that would continue.

I think Alberta being up for grabs (constitutional crisis) is what will provide Carney cover to distance himself from his ESG/net-zero past, and to cozy on up to the administration down south.

Didn't I just see him talking about making Canada fully net-zero and putting climate change at the center of every financial decision?

He certainly campaigned as more moderate. We will see how he governs. He doesn't have a majority but he effectively does if he gets the NDP on board, which shouldn't be too hard.
