ALBERTA Province in Canada Petitions to Become 51st State of America

After after the terror supporting far-left won the Canadian election, the Alberta Province submitted a petition to become the 51st State of America and could soon vote on seceding and joining the U.S. as the 51st state.

They’ve already started calling themselves “51st State Americans.”

Alberta is long-considered a “conservative fortress.”

Alberta has reportedly surpassed the required 177,000 signatures to trigger a referendum process. And all of that in just one day…

Alberta is the economic engine of the Canadian economy. If this happens, Canada is finished.

We don't really want all of Canada, but we should have some talks with those Alberta separatists. pic.twitter.com/8KILbF9DDB

We need to annex Alberta. It is literally propping up the rest of Canada by itself. pic.twitter.com/CANz4lEdFB

Canada exists to extract wealth from Alberta, while shaming them for getting it from fossil fuels.

Unfair representation in parliament. Unfair equalization payments.

And, they mock you when your leaders lose their seat in near Ottawa.

Its time. pic.twitter.com/oPsl7l2OOO

Alberta Separatists Push to Leave Canada After Liberals Win Election

By: Newsweek, May 03, 2025:

[…]

Donald Trump is not the only person who wants to change Canada’s landscape. Some Albertans frustrated with almost decade of Liberal power want independence from the country, and Cameron Davies, a leader of the breakaway movement, told Newsweek why.

The province, along with several others in the west, has long seen itself as unfairly treated by Ottawa. Its oil and gas resources make it a huge economic contributor, but many feel underrepresented in the capital, especially over environmental policies which regulate its resource industry.

But the push for an independence referendum has seemingly stepped up in the wake of the Liberal Party’s victory of the Conservatives on Monday night, making former Bank of England boss Mark Carney prime minister.

This is perhaps best illustrated in Cameron Davies’ decision to quit as leader of the United Conservative Party (UCP) of Alberta, which he has served for more than seven years, to take over as the head of the independence-supporting Republican Party of Alberta.

“Today is the birthday of many new separatists in Alberta,” Davies said in his announcement after the election results.

“Albertans keep working harder while getting less in return,” Davies told Newsweek. “I watched the UCP fold time and again under Ottawa’s pressure instead of standing up for Alberta’s interests.”

“It became clear to me that we need a new path forward—one that puts Albertans first, always,” he added.

[…]Davies, described by the Alberta Republicans as “a proud Albertan, veteran, and former oil patch worker” who “represents the hardworking spirit of the province,” is one of multiple politicians backing the call for a referendum.

“This isn’t about anger, it’s about forging our own path and seeking our own future. Alberta contributes more than we get back, year after year,” he said. “We’re rich in resources, rich in talent, and rich in potential, yet we’re held back by a system that doesn’t serve us.”

“I’m backing the idea of an independent Alberta because I believe we deserve full control over our future—our policies, our borders, our prosperity,” he added. “This conversation isn’t radical. It’s responsible.”

Will There Be an Alberta Independence Referendum?

When Newsweek asked Smith’s office this question directly, it was referred to Smith’s comments about Bill 54, legislation she filed the day after Carney’s victory, which would essentially make it easier for the province to hold a binding referendum.

“The legislation applies to all questions, we want to make fairness across the board,” she told a news conference on Thursday. “I’m not going to prejudge what the citizens are going to put forward for a question.”

“Remember, the purpose of a referendum is to let every single Albertan have a say on matters of important public policy,” she added.

Bill 54 has breathed new life into this question, proposing halving the threshold for a citizen-led referendum to 10 percent of people who voted in the last election and extends the duration of collecting those signatures to 120 days from 90.

Smith argues that while the threshold “needs to be high, it also needs to be achievable.”

She cited California as an example of a place that has “the most successful opportunity for citizens to engage in the process,” where measures on rent control and legalization of marijuana require between five and eight percent of the vote to qualify as ballot questions.
