offer to Alberta for it to become a state, they would at least vote on
it. Alberta generally gets no benefit from being within Canada, mostly

Calgary Export at the time was a local beer. Their blimp was inadvertently
captured on TV as it floated over a ballgame. They were fined for

Beer Bottle Act of 1989 or whatever the BS was.
