And the US will trade your Canadian dollars for greenbacks. Like all of your Canadian bank accounts, RRSPs RRIFs, RESPs, GICs, TFSA, stocks, bonds, mattress savings?? Yeah, of course they will. Totally wouldn't be a fiasco as people try to game the process to make a quick buck. Won't be inflationary either I'm sure.

People need to do some more research about the good ol' USA. Ya, it is a collection of states, but they also have territories that they 'own' but do not get state status:
American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
There are very different sets of rules for people who live in these places and it is a pretty significant step down from being one of the 50 states. I would expect that MAGA would try to sell Alberta on the idea of becoming the 51st state but then in reality just make it an territory so that they can reap the benefits of our resources but give nothing back to the population. They definitely would not want to give us representatives in congress or the senate (especially since Trump would rather get rid of both houses and consolidate his power).
