Description
A small community in Canada's conservative-leaning western province of Alberta welcomes US President Donald Trump's talk of annexing Canada as its "51st State", citing "a dream come true" and a path to "having our freedoms back.” Trump is reviled across much of Canada but in Alberta -- whose economy hinges on oil -- 23 percent of people support the US president, according to a March survey from pollsters Leger. Canadians will vote in a snap general election on April 28, after a campaign disrupted by threats from Trump and his escalating tariff war. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
