My reply is in reference to AB51 or Alberta 51. The locals up there who are pushing for them to not only leave Canada when they vote in the upcoming referendum to become their own sovereign nation. However, they want to go further and in fact become the 51st state since they have nearly as much oil as Texas, as I believe on the world scale Alberta is in the top 5 producers.
So they see them becoming the 51st state as truly a powerhouse of energy on the world scale with their addition to us. These Albertans find that their way of life is more in line with Texas, Montana, and the cowboy way of life as our western states. Calgary stampede and AB51 hooyah
