Has or do the U.S. want Alberta as a state ?No that trump has been elected, do you think it's time for Alberta to have a referendum and join the USA as the 51st State?
FUCK CANADA!!! and the Snow Mexicans
Yes, many do..
I'd imagine the Quebecois would lose their minds if Alberta managed to secede before them.

How would Americans feel about Alberta becoming a US state?
Right now there is considerable tension between the province of Alberta and the Federal government in Canada. There has long been some regional animosities as Albertans individually pay money in to subsidizing the public expenditures of eastern provinces, notably Quebec. According to American geopolitical consultant Peter Zeihan:
"Right now, every man, woman and child in Alberta pays $6,000 more into the national budget than they get back. Alberta is the only province that is a net contributor to that budget — by 2020, the number will exceed $20,000 per person, $40,000 per taxpayer. That will be the greatest wealth transfer in per capita terms in the Western world."
The strongest economic base of Alberta is the oil and gas industry, whose crude is selling at a massive discount compared to American crude due to lack of port access. The supreme court of Canada filed an injunction against construction of a Kinder Morgan expansion to the west coast, and the province of Quebec has repeatedly blocked attempts to construct a pipeline from Alberta to New Brunswick on the east coast. The situation has become so dire that the premier has recently purchased several thousand rail cars to move crude to market.
In a nutshell, Alberta is disproportionately footing the bill for provinces that simultaneously want to hamstring its economic development. The federal transfer payment system, known as equalization, massively benefits Quebec and the eastern provinces while contributing nothing to Alberta's rising provincial deficits. Quebec's economy has outperformed Alberta's in the last two years, while they have received over $20 Billion over the last two years... Alberta has received nothing from the system.
A rising minority in Alberta is now openly entertaining the notion of separating from Canada. Another very common sentiment is that Alberta should not only separate, but also actively seek US statehood. This would solve all of Alberta's current issues... port access would be very easily attained for its crude, its grain and other agricultural products would have easier access to American markets, and Albertans would save far more of their individual incomes under the current US system.
What would Americans think of such a thing? What type of debates would this stir up in the US if this were to actually happen?
Long overdue for Alberta to have a Referendum to join the USA as the 51st State.

With Alberta's fellow Canadians unenthusiastic about allowing its oil to get to market, the province might want to look south.

I'm still hoping for the day when the Assembly of First Nations will save us from ourselves and take over the immigration portfolio.
America might take on Alberta but they will probably change the name to something like Polk Salad Nannystate with license plates carrying the slogan 5440 or fight!

Sigh. The noun form of "correct" is "rectitude." Only imbeciles make nouns by taking adjectives and adding "ness."
?
All I see is a blank. I never mentioned the word you got in quotations. But I did try to post this song so maybe YouTube corrected me since they don't like me much as they're influenced by the same idiots that you are. I'm in fascistbook prison too by the way which is why you're being blessed with my presence.
Rejoice!
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
;?)
s'all good
It's a bit like baseball where we chirp obscenities at each other and it's all part of the game.
Later we'll have a laugh over some beers.
