Elbows Up Canadian fans booed the US flag at the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony. Tonight at UFC Freedom 250, American fans proudly sang the Canadian national anthem for Aiemann Zahabi. This is how you respect a flag. This is real class and sportsmanship. Those classless Canadians that followed Justin Trudeau’s direction to boo the US National Anthem could learn a lot from Americans. 🇨🇦🇺🇸👏 #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup2026 #UFCFreedom250 #UFC #Sportsmanship #RespectTheFlag #CanadaUSA

Canada needs to join the United States. Here’s how it could realistically happen. @USAmbCanada, the U.S. should extend an offer to Alberta to become a territory with a pathway to statehood, should they vote in a referendum to leave. Under Canadian law, the “Reference in re Secession of Québec” (a ruling by Canada’s Supreme Court in 1998) means that an Alberta referendum vote on a clear question, with a clear majority to leave, would be binding on the Government of Canada. Alberta is an excellent candidate to join the union. They have vast reserves of oil and natural resources. Culturally, they are identical to the American West — in tradition, religion, and values — as well as different from the rest of Canada. They feel contempt and alienation from the rest of Canada, because Ontario and Québec dominate at Alberta’s expense. All that @realDonaldTrump has to do is release a TruthSocial post that reads: “Alberta, if you vote to leave Canada, we will welcome you to America with a pathway to statehood.” That’s enough. Alberta hasn’t voted yet because, independent from Canada, there is no good economic option for them. Joining the United States would give Alberta the option necessary to proceed. If @POTUS acquires Alberta, he will have expanded the land territory of the Union more than any president since Thomas Jefferson. He will have changed the literal map of America that is our conception of this country. That’s a great legacy, especially for a real estate man as president. Not to mention, in that land he will have acquired billions of dollars in energy reserves and untapped critical minerals. As a natural-born Canadian citizen, my loyalty is to the United States. I know that the only hope for Canada’s success is the United States. The Canadian state is mediocre and provinces will be forever trapped beneath its glass ceiling. By contrast, America has infinite opportunity and empowers its people, which would enrich Canadians holistically. Joining America would remedy a mistake that George Washington in 1775 sought to correct. It would be the greatest union in history.
