Can Michigan join? I'd rather be Canadian at this point.

As a Canadian I'm not really supportive of any state joining us. Even the bluest states have too many Trump supporters

Eh, California would be more progressive to Canada than Alberta would, and California has a shit loud of MAGA people. An oil producing state that also has progressive views.

The "progressive" views of basically everything in the US is basically in line with everything the right leaning parties in Canada. But you are correct that they would be more progressive than Alberta.

Rural Alberta specifically. Provincially, at least, none of Edmonton supports that shit, and only the exurbs of Calgary does.

Frankly, Canada's problem isn't Alberta specifically. It's the maple maga belt that is dominated by rural voters in BC, Alberta, Sasktachewan and Manitoba.
