[Guno צְבִי]

Canada's province of Alberta rejected a plan to hold a binding independence referendum, results showed Tuesday, a win for unity as the country faces worsening ties with the United States.

Public broadcaster CBC and leading private network CTV projected a clear win for the federalist side, with official results showing more than 76 percent support for Alberta remaining in Canada with nearly 45 percent of ballots counted.


Carney, who grew up in Alberta, urged the province to reject separatism and argued that Canada needed stability as it confronted US President Donald Trump's trade war and annexation threats.

Way too large to be one state. 41 million people, and 14 times the geographic size of Texas.

You'd have to let the provinces come in as individual states.

Sure, I'll take a net advantage of six more center-left US senators and 20 more center-left House members.

Uh oh...... I take it back.
They are not welcomed. We'll keep them as a new country we can tarrff.

One more blue state. Or given what Trump and his chickenhearted Congress has been doing to us might be better if we became the 11th province.

If so, don't let the door hit you on your way out.
