An informal delegation of business leaders in Alberta are there to discuss Statehood. I have been watching all kinds of YouTube channels related to Canada, and clearly there are a lot of people in Canada not happy with what is happening. Then I see today that Alberta business leaders are meeting in Washington DC to discuss statehood possibilities. I have learned of something they call transfer payments in Canada, which is basically the amount of revenue each province generates for Canada versus the distributions to each province, and essentially Alberta has to pay Quebec $350 B for the priviledge of keeping Quebec in the country. Remember, in 1992 Quebec was within .5 percent of the vote of leaving Canada. So what has happened is the progressive French libs in Quebec and Ontario suck up all the money generated from oil in Alberta and redistribute that to all the lib projects in the country. They have told Alberta no to an East West pipeline so that Alberta can sell oil to Europe, and yet they expect Alberta to keep forking over money to French Canada. So Alberta knows that French Canada hates them, and their primary trading partner is the USA, so why not just join the USA.
Personally, I believe that Trump is using tariffs to essentially break up Canada and get the valuable pieces, which is Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia. Even Alberta said that Canda does not work East-West. It really is all about working north-south with the USA, so why not just become part of the USA.
