I'm in the US and making Canada a state makes 0 sense to me
I guess he's also admitting to his desire of never having any new elections? As Canada would get like over 50 seats in the electoral college...
Canada would never be state. A territory of unending insurgency at best, until the US killed every last one of us.
That's fair. There's still sensible people in the USA.
I was a little unclear before, the set of people who think this makes sense is entirely within the set of people in the USA. Which doesn't and shouldn't imply that all people in the USA believe that this makes sense.
I apologize if there was any implication of lumping all Americans into the same pool of stupidity. That's an insult to you and I am sorry.
Have a good day neighbor.
I don't even think the people who voted for Trump had annexing Canada on their minds when filling out their ballots. Was it mentioned once during the campaign? I wasn't listening, I knew I wasn't gonna vote for him 9 years ago.
I mean, until last month when cross-border relations got kicked in the teeth by the diaper in chief, what did I need the State of Canada for? I had the Nation of Canada right there. It's not like we weren't hugely cooperative trade partners or anything.
To be clear, the people who want this are the American capitalists who stand to profit off of Canada's natural resources. If we were a US state it would be much easier, almost downright trivial, to move up here and take whatever they want.
Obviously, Canada, and Canadians, don't want that, and it would seem most of the US population doesn't either.
IMO, this seems like a move by the people who are puppeteering Trump around. They see an opportunity to exploit what is currently a sovereign nation, and they're going for using Trump as little more than a mouthpiece for their goals.
Nah we're good. I totally get the intent and point. And I'm one of the ones hit by the electricity thing. Sucks, but y'all have to fight back.
Sorry about that. I'm not far from the border at Niagara falls and I know how much power is sent over the lines across the Niagara River (generally).... It's not great, and I'm sorry you have been caught in the crossfire here.
You don't want this, I can assure you, we don't want this, but it's what is happening.
