Residents of Alberta seem to be the most open to the concept of Canada joining the US as a new state, an idea US President Donald Trump has repeatedly floated over the past couple of months.

A new poll conducted by Research Co. on tariffs in Canada asked whether respondents were on board with the notion of initiating a formal process for Canada to become an American state, and Alberta led the pack in being the most responsive to it.

Alberta leads Canada in support of joining the United States, with 12% of respondents saying they would “definitely consider it,” followed by 7% saying they would “probably consider it.”

The difference isn't with the word "consider".

It is between the words "definitely" and "probably" ... and adding those two percentages means almost 20% of Albertans are OK with becoming American.

That's cool. They can move if they want. Lots of other citizens would welcome the opportunity to buy their homes/acreages.

But the land and oil stay with Canada.
