  I’d honestly be okay with that less because of gaining seats in the senate (well, we would lose as Alberta would get more house reps), but more because it’s insane to me DC doesn’t get an actual say in the Senate or House. 
  Basically I’d be for it for the principle of the matter.
  To be honest I wish Canada would unite with us solely so we could get a large number of Senators who would go Democrat, but that’s a pipe dream I know. And Canada is actually pretty split, just not as bad as us.
context: If your entire soverignty movement is based upon not liking the current Prime Minister, it will never succeed. >
  
  I don’t think it’s that? A friend of mine from Canada told me that Alberta always threatens to join the US, Alberta being a large oil producer and one of the main drivers of the Canadian economy. I see this as more of a bargaining chip to strong arm their own agendas. >
  
  Alberta: "We're joining the US!"
  The US: "Nah, we're good." >
  
  Honestly I feel like a good number would want it just because if it’s truly that conservative it’s another +2 R Senators. They want any edge they can get what with how the future it looking for them. >
  
  The Compromise of 2023: Alberta and DC are both admitted as states.
