I WANT TO BE AN AMERICAN! I WANT TO SUPPORT TRUMP! I'D TRADE WITH ANY AMERICAN THAT WANTS TO BECOME CANADIAN, BUT I'D FEEL BAD FOR RIPPING THEM OFF!

If we get out of this with our freedoms, be ready to rally around these freedoms across North America.

Inform the people in your area. Get them ready for big decisions in the next few years. Connect yourself into similar-minded groups. But do not ignore the information from others. Always seek truth.

If there are enough people who want these freedoms in your area, you don't need to personally emigrate to the US. You can all request for a 51st state of the Union. Prepare your demands because you'll need to establish a State Constitution that is in line with your political freedoms. It doesn't need to be totally in line with what the US does, because we can always come to agreements down the line.

Prepare a Constitution for your area, get people to agree with it, and then ask for someone to take you on as a free State. Or at least get the conversation started.

Now that you say that, there is a growing separatist movement in Alberta (Canadian Texas). Thank you for your suggestion, friend! I wasn't planning on it, but I'll seriously take this to heart and look for opportunities to move out west in the near future. #wexit

It's been on my bucket list to visit Calgary and Edmonton.

I marvel at those cities. They have built a thriving metropolis in the absolute tundra. I live in a city in the Great White North of the US, and I look to Calgary for inspiration. If they can make a city like that in a place like that, then I know that we too can master the cold. We just gotta keep the fires burning.

I think the abundance of oil and gas deposits has something to do with that! It makes it pretty easy (and cheap) to keep the heat on.

Now that I think about it, it's amazing that Albertans haven't pushed harder for secession. The Feds (and Quebecois) are all too happy to take Alberta's budgetary surplus via transfer & equalization payments, then have the audacity to impose a carbon tax and block any attempts to build pipelines/expand the energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, you want to talk about taxation without representation? Montreal, Toronto/GTA, and Vancouver effectively vote for the rest of Canada, Albertans have virtually no say in the matter.
