The significant reduction of their tax burden would offset any premium charges.

I’d take Alberta (population 4,368,370), Saskatchewan (population 1,231,043), and Manitoba (population 1,484,135) as states.

And Nunavut (population was 35,944) the Northwest Territories (population of 41,070), Yukon (population of 47,126) as territories.

We have a subsidiary in Calgary. Beautiful area.


I sold a company based in Calgary a few years ago so I was up there a lot for sure visits.

It’s an amazing area with cool people. I loved the amounts of ice rinks in each neighborhood. I’d live there if it were the 51st state.

If it happens, it won’t just be Alberta imho.

Take all of Canada, except Ontario and Quebec. Those two can be given forced independence and a "good luck!"

Can concur, the people Ive worked with from Calgary are no different than US westerners (not the coast), just with the Canadian accent

I wouldnt mind letting them in as the 51st State

They already pay an average of like $12k/yr for their “free” healthcare for a family, and it sucks. Very long wait times for simple procedures or diagnostic testing.

Canada will lose nothing because Toronto will send the Canadian Army to crush any secession, brutally. And Eastern Canada will cheer as the boots crush faces. Bank on it.

How would that work exactly. They vote to secede and then what? Canada isn’t just going to willingly give up their territory to the US


They can sanction us with their army. Oh wait...

we want manitoba & saskatch too

my only problem is I like having 50 states

we'll have to combine NE into one and break up Cali to stay at 50


Too bad, Make the new Canadian states into 8-10 RED states. Control senate and house for generations.

No fricking way.

Trump would never allow that. I’d be for us sending troops to stop them.
