Does Alberta really want to join the USA?

A few nights ago on a British TV news show (Newsnight) an American Republican spokesman - perhaps he was even a Congressman - asserted that not only did Greenlanders want to join the USA but when it comes to Canada, Alberta was already asking to join. I know he made the first bit up, but it was news to me about Alberta. Is there an iota of truth in his claim or that another hallucination?

About 12% of Albertans are Rumpers. I don't know why they don't just move down there instead of trying to force an issue that is impossible. Alberta will never be part of USA. Not even sure why the news post updates about it, the idea is ridiculous. They even had a referendum and the idea was solidly rejected.

@JamesBugman I suspected as much.
