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

    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.

      These people have the same mental capacity for critical thinking and reason as Sovereign Citizens.

      Verifiable facts are not part of their thought process.

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

      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.

    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+%

      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.

    During Nazi Germany there was also a Jews for Nazis group or something called similar like that.

    There is always that group of idiots that just don’t care

        It’s even worse, they literally think they will never need it, so they shouldn’t pay for someone else’s.
