Just because they may vote to leave Canada, doesn't mean they will vote to join the US. Plus, from my understanding, although it takes a simple congressional majority to admit a new state, I think it takes like 60 to break a filibuster.

So it all could happen and if it did, I think it would be similar to what happened when the SEC expanded way back when and started this cascade of upheaval with all the other football conferences. I think you would see other provinces of Canada breakaway too.

The last new states were added in 1959. That's 67 years ago.

If we admitted Alberta, I think they would be about the 14th or 15th US state when it comes to GDP per capita.
