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?

The first nation people will never allow it. It's BS

@Lilymoon That would be nice to think so. However, if the Greenlanders are of little consideration to Trump why would the first nation people of Canada be of any more concern to him than, say, the first nation people of the US?

@FreddieUK In Canada we respect First Nations people. We know they own this land, all of it, the transition to give some of it back is difficult, not helping that a lot of First Nation claims overlap.

@JamesBugman It's not the Canadian respect I doubt, but it's good to see it explicitly stated.
