No fucking way BC ever joins you loons, I don't speak for Albertan's but I bet the majority want no part of being a US state. America is on its way to be a pariah fascist country like North Korea thanks to trump

British Columbia has no place in a newly revamped North America—at least not right away. They can come in later as a territory, like Puerto Rico, once they prove they can pull their weight. The U.S. needs real assets: energy and water. That means Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Saskatchewan alone holds more energy in its uranium than Alberta does in oil. Add gold, copper, diamonds, and a treasure chest of critical and rare earth metals, and you’ve got one of the richest resource regions on the planet. But here’s the problem, Canada has been an amateur at actually doing anything with it. They ship raw materials out and let others take the profits. Saskatchewan, for example, produces the highest-grade uranium ore in the world, yet only turns it into yellowcake before shipping it off to Ontario and the U.S. The richest uranium jurisdiction on earth takes part in only 7% of the uranium fuel cycle, no refining, no burning, no disposal, just letting others cash in. A U.S. dollar–for–Canadian dollar swap would still be pennies on the dollar for the mountains of untapped, undiscovered wealth up here. The real challenge? Canada’s outdated education system and weak work ethic. Many Canadians won’t be able to keep up with their American counterparts when the big shift comes. And let’s be honest, there’s a whole bloated retired and welfare class, loaded with freeloaders like “pocotrader,” who will have to be dealt with. The Vision Picture this: Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba integrated into the United States as powerhouse states, delivering the energy security, water reserves, and mineral wealth America needs to dominate the 21st century. New pipelines and power grids feeding the continental economy. World-class processing facilities built right where the resources come out of the ground. The uranium fuel cycle mastered from ore to disposal, all done domestically. Jobs would boom. Infrastructure would surge. Education and training would modernize to meet U.S. standards, creating a workforce capable of competing globally. Welfare dead-weight would shrink as opportunity explodes. And the sheer value of these provinces, paired with U.S. capital, technology, and market access, would be a generational win for everyone involved. This isn’t just about merging borders. It’s about unlocking the full potential of some of the richest land on Earth and putting it to work for the future of North America.
