The stupidest thing Is making Canada one state. You guys should become states 51 to 151 and then take control of the USA government.
It would be regressive democratically; our MP system is far from perfect, but the electoral college is much, much worse.
Set aside all the things Albertans regularly enjoy and take for granted, and that there is absolutely no way back under the American Constitution, our taxes here would either skyrocket or massively erode our quality of life overnight.
A surface level awareness of things is telling of why it's very bad, but even that's asking a lot these days of the regular fellow who's exposure to politics is limited to what their favorite pundit says.
Is there a conservative versus liberal heat map of Canada? I’d like to see if there’s connectivity with the US version at the borders.
Doomberg, the most popular energy market substack poster, has a theory that Trump wanted Carney to win in order to push an east to west pipeline during an Alberta sovereignty crisis. It actually seems to be going all as they predicted, including Trudeau stepping down and Carney then winning the election.
Its a fun theory anyways.
