I think this belongs here. Yeah, Alberta is a Canadian Province and nobody really cares much about Canada but our POTUS says he will recognize it as an Independent Country, that makes it about American Politics.
Now, whether this is true or is it just Glenn Beck being Glenn Beck is another story. But it is worth talking about, regardless.
I also gotta wonder..... How many more steps will it take before Alberta asks to be admitted to the Union? It's happening, people
“Independence rally at Alberta Legislature could see tens of thousands” [Juno News – 10/21/2025]
Whatever Canada might have once been in the 20th century, that country is gone. The population of the Toronto metro area is now less than 50% Canadian-born, and Vancouver is little different. There is no expectation that immigrants assimilate or become culturally Canadian, because Canada’s own political leadership rejects the legitimacy of the country. As has been written before, “Canada’s strange political experiment is showing signs of collapse. The ruling class in Ottawa derides the very existence of their country — obsessed with ‘stolen land’ narratives and hostile to their own national culture. Their last remaining shred of civic unity is anti-Americanism.”
The prairie provinces have nominal political influence in the national government and they’re not anti-American. They’re treated like colonies or territories at best, and they deserve independence. I am glad to hear that recognition from the Trump administration is ready and waiting as soon as Alberta declares itself independent.

Tens of thousands of Albertans are expected to descend upon the Alberta Legislature this Saturday for the “I Am Alberta” rally, organized by the Alberta Prosperity Project, which is also coordinating bus transport across the province.
