They might want to join the Union, but I would be nice to notify them
first. Surprises like that lead to unseemly incidents.

You didn't annex them, they left us. Alberta (the province in which
one finds Edmonton and its infamous mall) is famous for two things:
oil and cattle.
They've always fancied themselves to be Northern Texans. Proper
business attire includes cowboy boots, a cowboy hat and a bolo tie.
Back during the first oil crisis back in '72, when the Powers That Be
in Ottawa tried to nationalize the oil industry, so angered were
Albertans that the biggest selling bumper sticker that year was "Let
the Eastern Bastards Freeze in the Dark".
I'm not kidding.
I don't think many tears would be shed if you did annex them...
;-)
cheers,
frank
(PS to all Albertans: this post was written with tongue firmly
planted in cheek. Feel free to dump on Toronto in retribution. You
have much ammunition.)
