Why not just kick ontariOWE out of Canada?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
It's a nice thought but I doubt if the majority of Albertans would go for it unless Trudy is re-elected. Then some more serious thinking might be done, especially if leaving would be to our advantage. But I seriously doubt it.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?

Penis Freeze
Viral footage of Wood Buffalo RCMP officers and security from East Village Pub freeing Blake McPhee's frozen penis from the ground outside the Fort McMurray bar on Jan. 12, 2025.
Blake McPhee wasn’t expecting a night out last month to end with an icy predicament or by arousing interest from cocky commenters online.
At about 1:43 a.m. on Jan. 12, police were called to the East Village Pub in Fort McMurray, Alta., after receiving reports of a fight outside the Timberlea bar. Officers arriving at the scene saw McPhee, who was intoxicated, allegedly “causing a disturbance.”
The police statement is vague about what happens next, but videos and photos shared online and featured by the online tabloid TMZ show the painful next steps.
McPhee fell to the ground as officers and the bar’s security tried restraining him. During the arrest, McPhee’s pants and underwear slid off as he was tackled. Weather reports show the temperatures that night in Fort McMurray were around -20 C and McPhee’s penis suddenly became frozen to the frozen pavement.
Emergency workers were able to free his frozen penis from the ground. Within hours, blurry footage of police officers trying to remove his frozen penis from the ground made the rounds on Facebook, although some videos falsely said he fell while urinating outside the bar. Coverage exploded on Jan. 24 when TMZ shared the story.
McPhee said when contacted he was not interested in giving an interview. He said he is trying to move on from the attention he’s been getting and told Postmedia he is not proud of his behaviour that night.
However, he also accused the staff and officers of tearing off his pants during the incident. He then pointed to a post he made on his Facebook acknowledged being “a drunk lunatic at the bar.”
“Still don’t understand why it was necessary to rip my f***** drawers clean off while I’m being arrested with 3 cops n 2 security dicks on me but that’s okay,” he wrote. “Gone are the days a feller can get his wiener frozen f*ckin solid to the ground without it going viral.”
He’s trying to find the humour in the incident, but challenged people making fun of him to “try having a dick n gettin er frozen fckin solid to the ground n see how small that shit gets.”
“Anyways glad I can be of some entertainment and back to making headlines,” he said.
McPhee’s amateur boxing career was covered in Fort McMurray Today and the Calgary Sun between 2010 and 2017, where he was described as a top boxer with Sweet Science Boxing in downtown Fort McMurray.
He ended his post with “sorry Ma.”

'SORRY MA': Alberta man's penis freezes to ground in viral arrest
Blake McPhee wasn’t expecting a night out to end with an icy predicament or by arousing interest from cocky commenters online.
With the economic and political tensions between the province and the rest of Canada, the possibility of Alberta becoming the 51st has been a topic of debate.
Here are a few of the potential advantages.
Alberta would have direct access to the largest economy in the world, easing the sale of its natural resources like oil and gas at more favorable prices.
The U.S. dollar could provide economic stability, especially beneficial given the sinking Canadian $.
U.S. state taxes are lower than Canadian federal and provincial taxes.
No equalization payments, saving an incredible $20 BILLION per year.
Alberta would gain representation in the U.S. Congress, with ELECTED senators and representatives advocating specifically for Albertan’s interests.
More control over energy policy, leading to more favorable conditions for oil and gas companies compared to current ideological Canadian federal policies.
Freedom to move and work across the U.S. would offer Albertans broader career opportunities, particularly in sectors like technology, finance, and energy. Who doesn’t want to move to Texas?
Direct protection of the U.S. military.
Significantly increased capital for Alberta's businesses, particularly in energy, agriculture, and technology sectors.
There's a closer ideological alignment with U.S. states, as compared to Eastern Canada, particularly regarding individual freedoms, gun rights, and a more deregulated market approach.

Not any time soon . If Quebec fools themselves and separates all bets are off .
They just might which will unburden us from what has been.
After the Canadian election negations begin to for a Canada US and Mexico oil market to compete with OPEC and a common currency and eventually no passport or visas to live and work where you choose.
Quebec will have the chance to go it alone or get on board and be its own entity. They are already American. If it werent for Quebec, Florida wouldn't have hockey teams.
What are the basic requirements for Alberta to become a U.S. State?
Prepare for sovereignty:
Alberta would need a few more institutions, like a tax collection agency, a provincial police force, perhaps even a militia. We'd need to prepare to take control of things that are currently managed by Ottawa, like our pensions and employment insurance. That could take 5-10 years.
Secession from Canada:
We would need to hold a referendum or some form of public vote to secede from Canada. This would require significant support from the populace. We only get this opportunity once every generation. That gives the Premier the mandate to negotiate with Canada.
Negotiation with Canada:
After a successful secession vote, Alberta would need to negotiate terms of separation with the Canadian federal government. This includes settling financial obligations, border issues, and rights to natural resources among other considerations. We also have to negotiate with First Nations.
Application for U.S. Statehood:
Alberta would then need to apply to become part of the United States. This typically involves:
a) Territorial Status: First, Alberta might need to be admitted as a U.S. territory, which would involve adopting U.S. legal frameworks, including the U.S. Constitution.
b) Drafting our own State Constitution: A state constitution aligned with U.S. constitutional principles would need to be drafted and ratified by the residents of Alberta. This would be extremely complicated. We've been a Constitutional Monarchy for over 100 years. The idea of elected courts, governors, etc.
U.S. Congressional Approval:
The U.S. Congress would need to pass enabling legislation allowing Alberta to apply for statehood, followed by:
a) an Enabling Act: This would outline the steps Alberta must take to achieve statehood.
b) State Constitution Approval: Once drafted, the state constitution would need approval from Congress.
c) Congressional Vote: Both the Senate and the House of Representatives would need to pass a resolution admitting Alberta as a state. There's no guarantee that every state would want us to join. We would shift the balance of electoral colleges.
Presidential Signature:
The President would need to sign the statehood bill into law.
Timeline:
Given the complexity and the rarity of new state admissions, the process would be a legal, political, and diplomatic nightmare, making any timeline speculative at best. I'd say this would take 10-20 years for sure. The most recent historical precedents, like the admission of Hawaii and Alaska, took over a decade from serious discussion to statehood.
Other considerations:
The Americans have a "Due Process and Equal Footing" doctrine: Any new state must enter the Union on an equal footing with the original states, meaning Alberta would have to adopt U.S. laws, including those related to civil rights, governance, and taxation.
Political Will: Both in Alberta and in the U.S., there would need to be significant political support, which currently seems limited based on polls and political discussions.
Economic and Resource Negotiations: Alberta's vast oil reserves would need new agreements on royalties and taxes under U.S. law.
Cultural and Identity Issues: Integration into the U.S. would involve significant cultural shifts, including adopting U.S. symbols, currency, and potentially altering our educational systems.
International Relations: This would have profound implications for Rest of Canada-U.S. relations, affecting trade, security, and diplomacy. I'm sure there would be a lot of hurt feelings.
