The United States may recognize Alberta's right to self determination, strengthening the province position in negotiations with Ottawa

West · May 9

Been reading some rumbling online that the US may honor Alberta's right to negotiate deals for themselves, strengthening their bargaining power in the process. This may look like how the US recognizes Taiwan

America's view will be closer to how Russia recognizes Crimea and Donbas.

US will force Canada to bend the knee and give Alberta what it wants, i mean what will canada do declare war, write up some tariffs....Canada won't last long after Alberta leaves...The US will get its wish and make us the 51 st state.....and the liberals will have given them that.....as other Provinces will join and Canada will be a distant memory.. Canada survival depends on all the provinces being united, if one leaves there will be clasped....

And i doubt very much the clarity act will save anyone if the US forces the issue....

Oh well look at the bright side, there'll likely never be another Republican majority again.

America's view?

In spring 2014, there was a vote in Crimea. People there very largely voted in favour of joining the Russian Federation.

In summer 2014, I traveled to Crimea. People spoke Russian the same way people in northern Ontario speak French, or even Acadians speak French.

They covered their license plates to show they were Russian - not Ukrainian.

Imagine French people in Ontario or New Brunswick doing this.

Trump is correct. This war should never have started.

I don't know, the sudden absorption of so many lefties into America's electorate certainly seems to be a consideration when the topic of joining America comes up.

Maybe a less right wing America in the world would be worth sacrificing our sovereignty - we'd be taking one for the betterment of humanity.

8 to 10 million lefties are not going to make a dent in how things are run in the US....so before you go to the passport office you should be prepared to go hard right....F8ck ya Amerika....

I'm also glad to here your so patriotic, giving up that Canadian citizenship so easily, like it was a mere convenience to have in the first place....besides what does Canada offer to humanity, asides from beaver tails,maple syrup,lumberjack stories, mounties on horses, housing crises, health crises, Climate crises, immigration crises, gun crises, homeless crises, crime crises, justice system crises,liberal crises, we got more crises than we can fix, and readers on here say the country is not broken...Tell us what is not broken it would be a shorter list...
