I don’t mean literally a state, just mean it will basically be a completely dependent on taxpayer funding for everything. Alberta would be a net positive economically, Greenland probably a welfare state, but less so than Cuba.

Neither should get statehood... maybe in a few generations.

I suspect if they legalize gambling, it’ll be a tourists Mecca within 20 years. Think the Bahamas

Not for very long.

Flats fishing in Cuba is supposed to be unmatched. I'll take a direct flight out of BR to Havana, Roughly a 2 hour flight.

You forgot to add great Whitetail deer hunting.
I also would prefer Saskatchewan as they offer more than Cuba. Saskatchewan is know as Canada's bread basket as well as offering great Whitetail deer hunting. The loss of those two providences (oil fields, vast crop land and both are the top two beef grazing land) would cripple Canada.

But Cuba is filled with Marxists who never got rid of their Commie government, unlike Eastern Europe. And all the good Cubans fled for Florida.
I believe the saying was along the lines of they never won Olympic gold in swimming because those athletes were already over here.

3. Greenland: Just not a lot going on there.
Ah, you’d be the guy in the 1840-1860s contending that the Oregon Trail and transcontinental railroad are a crock of shite and there’s nothing the western lands of North America have nothing to offer. The only way to drive national growth is to find the northwest passage or sail thru drake’s passage.

Alberta is already economically integrated with the U.S., has a population that shares most American cultural values, is physically connected to the U.S. via land and an interstate, extraordinarily rich in mineral and agricultural resources, and English is the primary language there. Albertans enjoy a similar lifestyle to Americans.
Greenland is vast and sparsely populated. It is valued for its location and vast, untapped, but largely inaccessible resources. Its people are largely descended from Indigenous peoples and the Danes.
Cuba is a communist nation where all of their infrastructure is literally in shambles and its people are in abject poverty. Cuba’s only real natural resource is sugarcane. Its people speak Spanish and have no experience with democracy or free enterprise in any real form. Cuba is reliant on imports for most essentials like food and fuel. While Cuba’s location is desirable, and many in Miami seek revenge for the atrocities of the Castro revolution 80 years ago, I fail to see how annexing Cuba could possibly be anything more than a net drain on American taxpayers for decades. The entire Island basically would need to be rebuilt. I would much rather get a friendly government installed there than annex Cuba immediately.
If I had to pick one, give me Alberta. It’s basically American already.

Alberta first for a lot of reasons.
Greenland next for a lot of other reasons.
Cuba last because they haven't mattered in sixty years.

The correct answer is CUBA.

Alberta and it's not close. Absolutely beautiful up there
Posted on 2/27/26 at 9:04 pm to Ramblin Wreck
I say we make them colonies. Tax them, take their resources but don’t let them vote.

Alberta…slap those smug Toronto Vancouver and Montreal libtards in the mouth!
