I doubt B.C. would allow that. Which means, Alberta’s only hope is to become the 51 State of the USA.
President Trump would like that, but wouldn’t they need to be accepted by the rest of the States?]
Yes, there is a constitutional procedure for adding states to the United States. In summary:

The procedure for adding a state to the U.S. involves several steps, primarily guided by Article IV, Section 3 of the Constitution. The process typically begins with a territory petitioning Congress for statehood, following a vote by the people of the territory expressing a desire for statehood. If the territory votes in favor, it then needs to create a constitution and submit it to Congress for approval. Finally, both houses of Congress must pass a joint resolution admitting the territory as a state, and the President must sign it into law.

I seriously doubt Alberta would be approved for reasons stated above, e.g., primarily the voting block in Alberta most likely would vote to move the US to Socialism. Whether Trump actually wants to annex Canada or even one province of Canada is at best hearsay and Trump has not made it clear what he really thinks about the idea. His rhetoric is just that at this point. Any opinion which claims to be otherwise is pure speculation and has no validity to this matter. smile

Northern Oregonians and Washingtonians have been trying to secede from the People's Republic of California for years. They want to annex to Idaho to escape the Socio-Communistic state to a free true state and some inroads have been accomplished. But there are many hurdles that must be overcome for them. Many of us are supporting their efforts believing California will never return to its original free Constitutional roots.
