Alberta politician warns Canada could favor Democrats

During a Florida fundraising event, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith warned conservatives about the implications of Canada becoming the United States' 51st state. She argued that if this happened, it could mean no Republican could ever win the presidency again. Smith explained that Canada leans more liberal than the U.S. and added that Canadian voters might support Democrats, similar to California's voting patterns. With Canada’s population being close to 41 million, Republican prospects would be dim if they gained representation in Congress. Smith expressed concerns about past comments from former President Trump, which she said offended Canadians. She advised Republicans to maintain a friendly relationship with Canada instead of pursuing statehood, suggesting that living together may not be beneficial for either side.
