I wish these people would just move down there instead of dragging the rest of us with them into their pit of misery.
Same! I went the other way to escape this craziness - now I risk ending up right back where I started.
Yup. They can sell all their property and move, but they ain't taking any land with them.
A.K.A. traitors.
Do they even know what they are signing up for? (American style health care, school shootings, DOGE, etc?)
All they care about are
Let's be real, most of those folks are probably traditional white Bible Belt Conservative that would love to go back 60 years in the past.
We really need to be careful though because the left in the US underestimated those and their money and influence, we cannot do the same here and let them sneak their way into power.
Also living under a fascist authoritarian regime.
Those Albertans can fuck right off to the States then, can't they?
Surely they could work out some kind of citizenship trade with 'muricans looking to escape.
I'm sure they'd love to live in the Dakotas. Bye!
I believe the correct term for them is: Fucking Losers.
Doors are due south. Kindly fuck off.
I propose a trade. Alberta for the Western and Northeastern states.
As a Californian, please. Also, don’t give up Banff/Jasper as part of that.
Paid shills
Not all of them. I know a few that genuinely believe this would be a good thing. They're mostly far right conservatives though, who wish they could immigrate to Texas or whatever, but can't because the US does not actually want them. So to them, it feels like a backdoor option. Full on trumpets.
Good point. But the upvote is for “ trumpets “ lol!
They are welcome to fuck right off to the USA any time.
I hear they'll make you an honorary citizen and even provide you a new home if you show up at the border with gun and declare you are a foreigner who wants to live in America!
Also,
Fuck. These. Fucking. Piece. Of. Shit. Little. Fucking. Goofs.
Post to remember to come back once there is a non paywall link so I can comment beyond the content of the headline
Edit:
Holy shit the guy in this article has got to be the stupidest person ever interviewed.
The Albertans who want to be the 51st state can consider themselves met, I guess.
You're welcome, https://archive.ph/KEdgc
Thanks, I had paywall remover scanning just waiting for someone to archive it
tbh, i am wondering is it really "small minority", or just "small part" of the minority that we heard/seen.
how many of them are staying quiet but secretly want to join the USA.
bottomline, it is still scarying me that PC still poll 37+%
Me too. So please everyone go out and vote on April 28 (or early poll if you wish). Go to Election Canada (https://www.elections.ca/home.aspx) and make sure that you are registered to vote at your current address.
I just don't understand where these people get their information. I haven't been able to find any verifiable facts that make statehood a good idea or would save any money.
Verifiable facts are not part of their thought process.
These people have the same mental capacity for critical thinking and reason as Sovereign Citizens.
What's going on Canada?
