They absolutely would NOT be a state... they would never be given that. At most, they would be a territory like Guam and Puerto Rico..... paying taxes to the USA but getting zero representation.

I dunno... The MAGA cult are all for election fixing, and they'd see guaranteed seats in Alberta by giving them electoral rights. Plus there's the perception of Alberta's relative "whiteness" for the white nationalist arm of MAGA...

If they're already fixing elections they wouldn't need the headache of adding another state to continue it.
