Jordon Kosikowie said he would want Alberta to join the U.S. because more conservatives live in Alberta and Albertans are opportunistic.

    I wish these people would just move down there instead of dragging the rest of us with them into their pit of misery.

    Do they even know what they are signing up for? (American style health care, school shootings, DOGE, etc?)

      All they care about are

      • Lower Taxes
      • Religious Extremism
      • Guns
      • Petrol

      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.

    I believe the correct term for them is: Fucking Losers.

    Doors are due south. Kindly fuck off.

      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.

    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.

    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+%

    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.

    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.
