Sounds very, very reminiscent of our southern states in 1860.

Boy, that is revisionist history. The north was the more industrialized, and richer, area. That’s why the south lost.

Depends on our level of involvement. Canada won't like it ,but if Alberta gets independence on the ballot and they vote to separate and the US legitimizes their independence than Canada doesn't have much options especially if troops and equipment are sent into the province. Canada will have lost about 10% of its population and 7% of its land. We have alot of economic interest in Alberta so if they declare independence that is what is likely to happen or at least with Trump. I can see them becoming a territory and possibly a state.

We’ve kicked Canada’s arse head to head before, we can do it again. Of course the last time they were British.

Not really. Yes, the north was the more industrialized. But the monies generated by southern cotton fueled the north more than it did the south. Hence, the "cash cow".

There will not be a vote and everyone that signed the petition, gets free audits, bank account seizures and home forfeitures. Not smart to give a autocratic government your name on a petition that will be labeled treason.

There is no mention of Alberta wants to become part of the U.S. All it says is they want independence.

They had the political will to simply close and empty the bank accounts of protesters. Why wouldn’t they resist a secession movement which would be a death sentence?
