One in five Americans (20 per cent) polled by Leger this week say they would like their state to join Canada, more than double the proportion of Canadians who said they would like their country to become the 51st state of the United States. Article content

“Only 9 per cent of Canadians believe it is likely that Canada will become the 51st U.S. state. By contrast, 20 per cent of Americans would like their state to join Canada and become a Canadian province, a proportion that is higher among respondents aged 18 to 34 (30 per cent),” reads the new Léger report.

If all the nice Americans leave to join us, what happens with the rest? They’re gonna attack us!

If you’re a nice American and want to join us, bring fighter jets and nuclear weapons and stuff with you please!

Canada could have nuclear weapons within 6 months if they needed.
