Alberta as our 51st state is not as far-fetched as it sounds at first blush.
In two significant ways, Alberta is unlike the rest of Canada.
The second factor separating Alberta from the rest of Canada is its demographics.
As the demographic and financial disconnect between Alberta and the rest of Canada grows, these younger, more highly skilled, and better-paid Albertans will be forced to pay ever higher volumes of taxes to Ottawa to compensate for increasingly older, less skilled, and lower income Canadians elsewhere in the country.
While Quebecois - and to a slightly lesser degree the rest of Canada - now need Alberta to maintain their standard of living, the Albertans now need not to be part of Canada in order to maintain theirs.
Unlike, say, Puerto Rico, which is a welfare state and where Spanish is the native language, Alberta is vibrant, wealthy in energy, and English-speaking.
The secession of Alberta from Canada seems unimaginable.
