"It'll be our beautiful 51st state!"

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.
