That is not happening, and I suspect Trump will refer to Carney as Prime Minister and will not bring up the 51st state again. If he does, Carney will just ignore him going forward
Alberta might decide to separate, and you know for sure Trump will support Alberta before he supports Carney

Never say never.

Stranger shit has happened
I am willing to bet you on

Canada will never become the 51st state

and

Albertans will never agree to leave Canada. This is why a separatist has never been elected as an MLA in Alberta.

Trump said at his news conference today that he talked on the phone with Carney, and they discussed forming a economic union between Canada and the US, just like the European Union.

Its coming, bro. Its inevitable

Is everyone ready for climate change to be in the heart of every financial decision? Wooo more expensive flights, any industry involving carbon emissions will be more expensive 😁 what a great time to live lets also add some home equity tax because we love giving the government our money.
the recent ice storm in Ontario and Quebec cost the insurance industry a quarter of a billion dollars.... does that affect any financial decisions?

I go to my own example: My office was in a part of Niagara that has seen a significant uptick in wind speed and frequency. This has caused more frequent power outages. Professional office billing between 150 and 250/hr for 6 people. An hour of downtime costs us $1100 in revenue. 10 extra power outages is $11,000. I sold that building and moved to one with buried hydro lines because power outages were hurting our bottom line.

Risky since there is also a chance AB will eventually join USA - then prices would plummet.
Real estate prices in Canada are currently significantly overstated because they are in $Can which is currently at .72. USD. Also, property isn't cheap everywhere in the US (not in California for example). If AB were to become a state, expect significant migration there from other states as resource extraction is ramped up. I think your nightmare scenario is actually a dream scenario as far as real estate values are concerned.

This has the same chance as California or Texas leaving the USA, as a tiny minority always promotes depending on who wins.

Don't let a tiny few in an echo chamber convince you it's real.

I can’t remember but was it you who wanted to make the wager???? I should have done it. LOL.
Yep that was me. I was wrong in assuming that our electorate would look at the big picture instead of focusing on Trump interference so much.

THERE'S A MUTINY COMING!!!! 🏴‍☠️
Trump says lots of things. We are talking to China(nope). 90 trade deals in 90 days(nope). Ending the wars in Ukraine and Gaza(nope).

What's going to happen is the USMCA is going to be the basis for a new signed deal with a few tweaks again that Trump will spin. NORAD and other security arrangements will continue. And Canadians will fir the near term continue to lessen American product buying.

Or Trump fucks it up, as well as all other deals, and will get impeached.

We lived under Trudeau for years, bro was a dictator in spirit 😂. If he wasn’t such a tampon, and more of a chad like his father (the Cuban one) we may have been in trouble.

I don’t know what was so authoritarian about Pierre to you. What do you find so threatening? That he wants to give harsher sentences to criminals? He wasn’t like Trump re. immigration or foreign policy. I genuinely never heard him suggest anything radical, ever.
They think anyone who is a strong conservative is a far right authoritarian. This country has become such a feeble cesspool of wokeness that anyone with a strong voice on the right is branded as alt right, fascist or Nazi.

Using the notwithstanding clause is authoritarian. Proposing laws already found to be unconstitutional is authoritarian.

"I love Canada, but I don't support it's constitution" really just means that you don't love Canada.

Trump can only get impeached if there is a majority Democrats in the house, which currently there isn't
