Till your oil runs out, then you got nothing. Beside half of your population already wishes they were Americans. Ontario will be the last bastion of Canada, the only province since confederation to always stand on it's own two feet and support the rest of the country. Canada's heart, soul, and economic engine.

That, and the amazingly interesting news of Wally Buono's CFL adventures and whatever meagre whiny comments Klien has said today to further alienate himself from the east, would make for a tremendously boring country.
So, maybe Alberta can be the beginning of the new Middle West, but you know, man, it'd be boring.
Are there any good dollar stores in the South West that sell Knockoff Bruticus toys? If so, then I relike Alberta, and sign up for the seperatists.
But, I mean Cowboys and bad Hockey? Who would move here?
You have summed up that swarthy land forty minutes from my house far better than I could ever hope to.
Unexpected upside if Canada were to join the U.S.: 50ish safe Democrat electoral votes in essentially every Presidential election ever. In other words, the elimination of the Republican Party as an organization capable of setting a superpower's policy.

I'd expect your political parties to carry over, though, especially given the general suckiness of both our parties. One lies about what it stands for, and the other doesn't stand for anything, so why wouldn't you? I'm still leaning towards the whole "vote in order of preference" thing, frankly. Two-party systems suck.

Now tell me, when was the last time you saw a Republican actually doing any of the things I advocate as far as domestic policy goes, outside of Bush's tax cuts? Why do you think I was so eager to come up with a way to eliminate the two-party system a while back?

I had this post planned out in response, it was both amusing and full of wisdom, musing on such diverse topics as the problem in fainding a political party you feel can really represent you, and so forth. It wasn't even insulting to anyone! But then my wife walked into the room stark naked, and I forgot all about it.
