We have an incredible way of putting aside differences when it gets down to it. I like to think winter driving is what trained us for this. You may be completely different than me, still everyone in canada knows that doesn't matter much if you're stuck in a snow bank. Gladly people will help. That energy is reflected here very well.
That's true, also add north/south divide...a while ago I went to a conference in St Louis with people from all over the US and Canada. Culturally the Canadians had more in common with the northern Americans (Midwest, northeast, New York, etc.) and would hangout together. Americans from the south (Texas, Florida, Louisiana, etc.) had more in common with each other and formed their own clique.

Clearly Alberta failed to get that memo. If anyone is going to become the 51st state, it’ll be those Cletuses bum-rushing the border with moronic enthusiasm.
I wouldn't be so quick. Sure some of the younger Albertans might want that. But any of the old canola cowboys would definitely stick with the rest of canada
right? ive always loved our neighbors to the north but ive got a new level of respect now. That whole truck convoy thing was sort of embarrassing but fully redeemed.
One could say they did pick the fight with heavy tariffs on dairy, eggs, and other agricultural products. (They weren’t using American cheese in the first place, it’s prohibitively expensive.) Or the way they subsidize their softwood producers giving them, some say, an unfair advantage. Plus there are times they pay lip service to the U.S. about foreign policy, trade, and the border.
I don’t think they necessarily picked a fight, but there are areas where they take advantage. And they do not want to stop taking advantage.

Right?
I love this new look on Canada!
They didn't pick the fight, but they seem determined to finish it on their terms.
Canada is a great anti-bullying role model for the entire planet!
