House Republican Floats Making Alberta ’51st State’ if It Secedes: ‘Tremendous Oil Reserves There’

Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) suggested the United States should make Alberta its “51st state” if the oil-rich province breaks away from Canada, jumping on President Donald Trump’s repeated tease of the nation’s northern neighbor.

The House Republican floated the prospect during an interview on Newsmax’s National Report Monday morning while defending Trump’s aggressive approach toward Canada and other U.S. allies.
