Some fine folks have started a petition:
"Request for congress to grant and allow Saskatchewan and Alberta to be granted statehood into the Union"
It further says:
"The residents of Saskatchewan and Alberta (Canada) are requesting Statehood as 51st and 52nd States into the Union. Reasons:
1) Our extensive mutual values
2) SK & AB have vast wealth in natural resources (various commodities) with great economic to benefit the USA and will give more with access to world markets
3) Greater flow of goods (finished or raw), ie transportation, tariffs/taxes would not be applicable
4) No currency exchange = greater flow of goods (purchasing, selling, transportation)
5) Ability to be self-sufficient in most aspects of the economy
6) Less foreign import of goods/services

SK and AB hereby request Congress to grant Statehood as 51st and 52nd States In The Union as per The New States Clause, found at Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1 of the US Constitution."
If you think this is silly, you should look at how many people have signed it since it was started on November 21, 2019.
240 have signed it. You may not think that is many, but this is an obscure petition with no media backing. We will have to track it to see if it meets its objective. Its objective is:
"99,760 signatures by December 21, 2019 to get a response from the White House"
If this doesn't show how fed up people are with the Liberal Government and our green as the Grinch Prime Minister, nothing will.
If you wish to sign it, you can do so here.
