They could form a separate nation, and likely survive very well. Alberta produces much petroleum and grain, and sends far more money to Ottawa than it gets.
Secession and a new country, and Alberta could send a pipeline to their west coast and market their oil to a global market.
Sounds like Texas.
Very much so, and the comparison is being made..even to the temperament of Alberta's people !
From what I have gleaned.. Alberta and Saskatchewan are both quite conservative..Manitoba relatively so. British Columbia not so conservative, I presume because of
the city of Victoria on Vancouver island...while the rest of BC is sparsely populated.
However, if they were to join the US, we maybe able to have an Alcan highway without going through Canada.
The woke lefties in Canada, seem just as lopsided as the woke lefties here. I do have to admit that although Ontario is liberal, the folks from there seem cordial and
friendly. I live about 60 miles and the width of a river from Ontario, and cross paths with them often, since they regularly come down to Ellicottville to ski.
Ellicottville is about 14 miles south of me..so I meet many of them when I pass through there. Many own ski chalets near the slopes, and my son has almost exclusive
photo rights for their real estate sales, by way of the leading realtor there.
Ellicottville is an "artsy" town now...but back when I was in high school, it was a logger and sawmill town, among other things turning out millions of bowling pins and Louisville Slugger baseball bats. Now, they are trying to entice the only manufacturing business to leave town... not sophisticated enough for the town...sad..
