A separatist movement in Alberta has been making headlines, perhaps fulfilling President Trump’s premonitions about Canada, or parts of Canada, becoming America’s 51st state.
An interesting analysis. Many people in Canada feel that the country has gone down hill significantly in the last 10 years. Carney is a globalist and another threat to sovereignty. Separation for some Provinces make sense.
I was just thinking along those same lines. Remembering a recent map showing a split California. The Western coastal counties of CA are heavily far Left Liberal. The idea was making an East and West CA since the higher valley counties are heavy agricultural and conservative. Trade the Western CA, Oregon and Washington for Alberta and our NE states for Saskatchewan. Sounds workable...
It’s very nice to see this topic addressed by a knowledgeable American in the political discussion. I was born in the US, and live here now, but lived in Alberta for 17 years. It is as clear as the nose on your face, that separation is the only hope for the people in western Canada. US statehood would be great for these people, particularly if the US continues to be MAGA country, and the people of Alberta and Saskatchewan would largely be supporting a conservative agenda. The Democrat party would resist Statehood for AL and SA because it would tip congressional representation more conservative. AB and SA would not benefit from an Obama/Biden America because it would be like what they’re wanting to flee from. I think it highly unlikely that Saskatchewan would separate without Alberta, but Alberta alone or Alberta + Saskatchewan together could make it a success as an independent entity, or as the 51st state. BC too, would be great, but the rest of Canada, we don’t want, because it is all a welfare state and be a big financial drain on the US. I think it’s only a matter of time before a separation referendum will be successful on the AB and SA ballots, but I think they will (at least initially) opt for independence, rather that to apply for statehood. I pray for them to unite and separate, and to put a US-like constitution in place.
Secession would probably be a good idea. All jurisdictions under the crown globally are going to hell in a handbasket. An alternative would be to do with King Charles what the barons did to King John in 1215 and hold his feet to the fire, honor his Coronation Oath, and start doing his job properly, ie, governing for the benefit of his peoples and protecting them from abuses of power. The rot starts at the top!
First of all, let's thank Roger for not only amalgamating news with worthy perceptions, along with entertainment. BTW, as this was being typed TV told us that Comey has been indicted. Maybe the country will see those involved in the R-Gate coup (also) indicted. Can you imagine Billary., Mueller or the 'Big O' sitting in a birdcage!
As for Roger's recent piece, it's a dynamite of an article. Saskatchewan would be a two-way enriching Street. Adding Saskatchewan would make our country more opulent, in over a million ways. The dynamics of this situation is quite simple; mainly the citizens of that province are sick of politicians endorsing policies that are against the values and traditions of normies.
One example, of several involves the oldest profession within humanity. Becuz of the housing shortage landlords are allowing intimate engagement as a replacement for rent. Check it out. It's hard as it is to believe it is being permitted…
This reminds one of a movement a while back concerning Oregon, or one of those Mid Western states. Part of the state decided to separate and join a neighboring state. The reason: Normies sought to escape Lefty’s insanity.
People want to be amongst those similar to themself. There’s more trust amongst those that are similar. Liberals, Lefty nut cases and anti-majorityites call that fascism, racism, and other BS terms. In reality, it has nothing to do with hating others. It just involves loving one's own kind. People want to be left in peace.
When the Irish followed the English to New England, especially in Boston, there were store signs reading “dogs and Mics not allowed." Eventually there was an amalgamation, lots of marriages and people became buddy buddy. The key to the whole thing was you can't force populations into submitting to political agendas. Things have to be natural.
For example, in the Germanic move to the east (Drang nach Osten-‘Drive to the East’) large numbers of Slavs eventually became absorbed. Linguistics verify millions of Slavonic names Germanized. It’s a two sided coin, in Slavic countries there are millions of Germanic names that have been Slavonicized.
At one time Slavs were untermenschen (below men). Today one sees millions of marraiages have occurred. That's especially noticed in Germany's Ruhr region. Why? Cuz the proletariat married local gals.
As a kid I commenced language school that was conducted in the French language. Yet, as a little boy I learned that those in Quebec “didn’t speak proper French.” When visiting France it was discovered that Frenchmen didn’t speak correctly as did those in Quebec. Yet, decades later -into adulthood one saw many of Third World heritage deeming they were French. At the same time, a significant number of Quebecians didn’t deside to be part of Canada.
Borders change, as do people. Let’s hope that what’s best for us and best for Saskatchewanians wins.
As for humanity, it’ll be a miracle if we don’t eliminate ourselves. We’ve gone from sticks, stones and biting to nuclear weapons.
Many people in America feel that the United States have gone downhill since Trump entered the chat, and many in Sask feel the province has gone “downhill” (even tho it’s flat) since the Sask Party of Grievance took over in 2007. All a Roger Stone pipe dream. No one in Sask ever said they wanted to join the U.S. The “shine” has been America for decades. What a dumb idea.
No, Saskatchewan (or any Canadian province) cannot join the U.S. without significant legal hurdles, including potential First Nations' consent, as their historical treaties with the Crown create constitutionally protected land, resource, and governance rights that would be impacted by secession and U.S. admission, requiring complex negotiations and constitutional amendments. Even without Indigenous consent, unilateral provincial secession from Canada is not a constitutional right and requires federal agreement and new laws, making any path to U.S. statehood extremely difficult and legally contested, particularly concerning Indigenous treaty rights.
Why First Nations' Approval Matters
Treaty Rights: Treaties like those covering Saskatchewan (Treaty 4, 6, 8) are nation-to-nation agreements that affirm Indigenous rights to land and self-governance, making them integral to Canada's constitutional framework.
Legal Obligations: Any attempt to separate from Canada without Indigenous consent would likely violate these treaties and potentially international law, as these agreements bind the Crown, not just provincial entities.
Challenges for Provincial Secession
Constitutional Amendment: Under the Canadian Constitution, a province cannot unilaterally secede; it requires constitutional amendments and negotiations with the federal government and other provinces.
U.S. Requirements: The U.S. would need to agree to admit a new state, a process that would involve U.S. Congressional approval and likely diplomatic recognition, which would be complicated by the Indigenous rights issues.
In Summary
For Saskatchewan to become part of the U.S., it would require a massive political, legal, and constitutional overhaul, with significant challenges including negotiating with First Nations whose ancestral lands and rights are tied to the territory, as well as obtaining approval from both the Canadian federal government and the U.S. Congress.
Don’t know the ultimate outcome but the threat and publicity of the discontent would illuminate the disconnect between the west Canada and the socialist federal Canadian government.

ALBERTA!!!
Oh CANADA 🇨🇦. Let's go Saskatchewan, come on down. Great article thank you.
ALBERTA!!!
As an Alberta separatist, I welcome the rise of Saskatchewan’s secessionist movement. Hopefully we can both be free of Ottawa soon.
Good; we don't need Communist China for our neighbor. Maple 🍁 #51...!
As a resident of Saskatchewan, I approve this message.
Can we just make a trade? Give them some of our blue states and we'll take Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Let's do this, Saskatchewan!
Intriguing.

Nope. Not gonna happen.
OK as long as TRUMP is president or Vance! But we sure don't need any Dem leadership. Liberals are too much like Dems.
Roger, change "Canada's tariffs on canola oil..." to "China's tariffs on canola oil..."
Excellent article! 👍 😎
