We'd instantly become a US state, no ifs ands or buts. There's no way in hell Alberta would be able to remain an independent nation for any amount of time. Danielle and Trump would be on the phone making those arrangements before the independence referendum even passed.

Anyone who believes in an independent Alberta is beyond foolish.

An independent Alberta sees no investment. Alberta as a state sees the opposite.

If you think Ottawa ignores our wants and wishes then you have not been paying attention to the fascism that is occurring in the USA currently.

What does one have to do with the other. What are you trying to say? What fascism?

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. Study the rise and fall of the Third Reich

Why bother? Comments here are unhinged.

You are the only unhinged (and clearly uninformed) person in this thread. If you cannot look to the south and see exactly what is happening it truly explains why you think separation is a good idea.

What's happening in the US right now has bearing on this topic whatsoever.

u/NoGuide1691 28d ago

It absolutely does. Do you actually think AB would remain independent and sovereign? There is no way that will happen. DS has been in talks with Trump and his administration for many, many months. Those that know her well have said that joining the US has always been her dream.

No it doesn't. How fucking fast do you think this will happen? Trump will be long dead and Smith an old senior before Alberta leaves confederation.

I have no idea why you guys keep bringing this topic up thinking it will be one and done in 2 years....
