**** US Treasury Secretary Scott Pisspants Supports Albertan Secession ****

"Alberta is a natural partner for the US," the good-for-no-one mega-oligarch with $700m in net worth bleated to conservative podcaster Jack Posobiec in an interview Thursday.

One AI Overview on Alberta:

"Gun ownership in Alberta is indeed increasing. Recent data and reports show that firearm ownership in Alberta, along with Saskatchewan, has climbed notably in 2025, reflecting a broader trend of growing licensed gun owners across Canada. The number of licensed firearm owners in Canada rose to 2.41m in 2024, and Alberta is part of this upward trend. .

Additionally, Alberta has one of the highest prevalence rates of firearm-owning households in Canada, second only to the northern territories, with about 39% of households estimated to own firearms. This suggests a strong culture of gun ownership in the province that continues to grow despite federal regulations and bans on certain firearms.

In summary, Alberta is experiencing an upward trajectory in gun ownership, both in absolute numbers and household prevalence, which aligns with national increases in licensed firearm owners."

Albertans may enjoy gun ownership like many Red State Americans, but will they enjoy losing universal healthcare and entering the world of medical bankruptcies?
