Let's Make a Deal! We'll give you Alberta for Minnesota (but only if you throw in Massachusetts as a sweetener)

 
The latest opinion poll in Canada shows the Liberals (red) ahead of the Troglodytes (blue) in every part of Canada except Alberta. Almost 60% of the cowboys would vote for Stephen Harper and the Conservatives.

Alberta was the only major province to prohibit same-sex marriage before they were forced to accept it by the Federal Government. Alberta consistently elects the most right-wing MP's in the country. It's the province that seems least committed to universal health care. They're against gun control, tend to be in favor of capital punishment, and like giving tax breaks to rich people and corporations.

As if that weren't bad enough, they traded Wayne Gretzky to Los Angeles.

I'm pretty sure that Albertans would be happier if they belonged to a country with more cowboys (like in Texas). So here's the deal. We'll give you Alberta and you give us Minnesota. Because there's a lot more oil in Alberta, you'll need to sweeten the pot in order to get rid of Minnesota. Throw in Massachusetts and you've got a deal.
