Huh, I haven't heard anyone from Alberta say they want to be part of the U.S. From what I understand it's either "go it alone" or "stay in Canada" as the 2 options. The "go it alone" might include Sask but as it stands now, not so much.
Alberta GTFO?

AB and SK were supposed to be one Province called Buffalo all along but it would have been more powerful than Quebec and Ontario.
Maybe some people who aren't whiny fantasists reflect on what happened last time some states decided to leave.
That's kinda redundant. Is there such a thing as a non-treasonous traitor?
Then you really haven't heard anything about Cascadia. Just showing the normal total lack of knowledge of, and care about the West that is so typical of almost everyone East of Manitoba. As long as your welfare cheque shows up every year, you are in ignorant bliss.
Sure, keep assuming that.
More assumptions.
What welfare check? I work for my money, Taxy.
The only one with ignorant bliss is you.
And up to BaRyker ville and eventually the Yukon . The Fraser gold rush lasted from 1858 until the 1920’s . In about 1870 there were over 50,000 people in the Yale region . It was the biggest city north of San Francisco .
Prairie residents feel region is gaining respect among Canadians, poll shows — The Globe and Mail
Some 39 per cent of residents believe their province is treated with the respect it deserves, up from 32 per cent last year
So , I saw those also and been to many of those ghost towns the old MLA ( can’t remember his name out of the blue ) did shows on . Just last week I was doing some research on the Yale rush as my grandfather made his money there , prior to going to Barkerville . He then went to the Klondike via steamer out of Seattle , he did the golden staircase and eventually the long walk to Nome . He did well enough to own many properties in and around Vancouver .
I came across a publication from the province of B.C. That was in depth look at the gold rushes and methods of extraction . Will try and find a link to it . It is technical but that shouldn’t bother you .

Strong demand for Canadian oil in the U.S. is driving demand for increased export capacity out of Western Canada

For a country that doesn’t want or need Canadian oil, it’s interesting that this pipeline is at full capacity, isn’t it? And if that’s at a 10% tariff upon the American population, doesn’t that mean that this commodity was being undersold by at least 10% before the tariff was applied? Somebody’s been getting a sweet deal for a long time….

Elections Alberta approves proposed separation referendum question
The Alberta Prosperity Project is seeking to ask: "Do you agree that the province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?"

A proposed referendum question on Alberta leaving Canada moved a step closer to being put on a ballot after it was approved on Monday by the provincial election agency.
The question reads: “Do you agree that the province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?”
The campaign to put that question to voters is being led by the Alberta Prosperity Project, which now has until early next month to appoint a chief financial officer, after which it can begin collecting supporting signatures.
The group must secure just under 178,000 signatures in support for the question to go to a referendum.
Chief executive officer Mitch Sylvestre told Postmedia in an interview earlier this month that the group has been in campaign mode for some time and claims to have 240,000 pledges for signatures.
“I really believe this is a non-partisan deal,” he said. “I think every Albertan is going to benefit tremendously from this. I think it’s very clear.”
The group’s question was redrafted to reflect language in the federal Clarity Act.
The group first pursued a referendum question on separation last July, but the group’s question was referred to the Court of King’s Bench by the chief electoral officer to gauge its constitutionality.
Justice Colin Feasby ruled the prior initiative laws did not allow for a citizen-led separation referendum.
But his decision was ultimately rendered moot by changes the province introduced a day earlier in Bill 14 that had the effect of giving the Alberta Prosperity Project’s referendum push new life.
The bill removed constitutionality requirements from proposed referendum questions the ability for the chief electoral officer or attorney general to refer initiative proposals to the court, though cabinet retains such power under other legislation.
A rival petition from the Alberta Forever Canada petition gathered 456,000 signatures in support of a question asking if one agrees that Alberta should remain within Canada.
