Why leaving Canada makes sense for Alberta, and U.S. would likely welcome a new state

Have a nice trip .Albertan anger at Canada is not going anywhere soon . Separatist sentiment is at its strongest ever , and people are actually organizing toward that end . This is not going away .
lol Yeah yeah. Some Quebecers still talk about separation, too (after 50 or 60 years). Quebec hasn't "gone away" yet.

Sure hope you're wrong pgs! I think when the dust settles sentiments will change. Easier to get rid of one incompetent leader than to switch countries.
I agree , this is just what I am reading and hearing , dissatisfaction with Ottawant is at an all time high in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

But they did come close , and that with Canada giving them everything they want including distinct society . Alberta is not getting the same treatment, and under our current system there is no political will to change that .

They came close decades ago. Canada was under no obligation to honour the outcome of their referenda, anyway and it never got close enough for anyone to find out.

Remember the referendum that Rick Mercer ran to get Stockwell Day to change his first name to Doris? It got millions of votes.

When's it going to happen?
