So you're not separating, but joining the U.S.? Because that political ####show is something you really want to be a part of.

It works for Quebec because they have a whole lot more political clout than Alberta does.

Well considering the U.S. government has been even more bullish on Alberta oil than the provinces have, I don't think your chances are very good. Plus, last I checked North Dakota was also landlocked, so it wouldn't just be dealing with them. Unless your plan is just to connect to one of their myriad of pipelines and run it through there, but I imagine the U.S. would be taking a heavy cut of anything that runs through their pipeline system.
