As a Minnesotan I would gladly trade Alberta for Minnesota and become Canadian.

While I appreciate the sentiment, that would be condemning a great many Albertans who want nothing to do with separation to a fate I would rather not see a fellow Canadian faced with.

As long as Minnesota would have me I'd happily move there instead of staying in Alberta if this were to happen

Along with the local Canadian salary it entails?

Are incomes in Alberta lower than Minnesota?

I have no doubt Wisconsin would second the motion.

I think most of Canada (and probably America) would be okay with trading all the great lakes touching American states + the US west coast for Alberta.

Albertans are Canadians, and no, we're not going to condemn them to becoming americans or face dislocation over the actions of some loud idiots.

That would be very interesting. I would love to see how that would play out (particularly with California and DC), but it would kill the political balance in both countries. I think having to consider opposing viewpoints is probably paramount to how we have both flourished historically.
