Personally, I’d prefer the US become Canada’s 11th province or 4th territory.
I’m against a return to the crown even by proxy.
I’ll put a fancy old person and a loon on some coins for better healthcare.
At this point, a functioning democracy with a symbolic regent is a hell of a lot more grounded than a broken democracy trying to find its way to something a little more autocratic.
I’m against a return to the crown
You can opt out, it’s all good. But, book the u-haul early.
After the last ten years in America, I’m thinking maybe we give Chuck a shot.
A parliamentary system could actually let us have third parties
I do get a great amount of silly joy by referring to Charles simply as, “The King of Canada.”
prefer the US become Canada’s 11th province
Whoa whoa; not all of it. Let the adjacent regions ask to be a province and we’ll see how ‘good’ a ‘fit’ they are. I mean, Cascadia will be a good fit, MAYBE some of their adjacents. East coast is hit-and-miss, but largely hit. The middle, though. Yeesh. Probation for sure.
There’s several of us in Ohio, what if we toss Mike dewine and his ilk to Kentucky?
Washington (or at least Seattle) seems somewhat compatible with BC. Montana is probably a reasonable match with Alberta and Saskatchewan.
North Dakota is far too MAGA to fit with the NDP voters in Manitoba.Not sure how well the states bordering Ontario would get along with douggie ford’s government.
I doubt any of Quebec’s southern neighbors would be thrilled about having to learn French.
surely you didn’t mention Michigan only because it’s so obvious, right?
Hell, we’re already used to your currency. (Canadian coins are accepted interchangeably with their US counterparts)
Imagine my surprise when the bridge wouldn’t accept my Canadian quarters…
But yes, the last time I got a roll of quarriers from the bank, at least a dollar of it was Canadian.
I get unreasonably indignant when a person or machine won’t accept my Canadian coins. It’s totally fair since it’s “foreign currency”, but … C’mon. Not accepting Canadian quarters is just petty.
It’s a bundle deal. I’d be happy to give y’all the West coast and the Northeastern states
Libs are carrying water for the opposition when they give in to the border security scare.
Strange that you think the current border ramp-up has nothing to do with the orange asshole threatening our sovereignty.
We’re not typically a super nationalistic people, but threaten to back a coup to take us over and you might find out just how staunch we are to never be American.
“my idea would be a great idea!”
also, Québec would 100% go independent
Québec would 100% go independent
Quebec doesn’t recognize the economic leopards in its north.
Because otherwise, Trump would send in the US military to forcibly remove all the French street signs.
They would lose, just like last time. Underestimate Quebec at your own peril.
This might be the single stupidest thing he’s ever said.
Oh I don’t know. There’s so many options there.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t even the dumbest thing he says today.
It definitely doesn’t rise to the level of ‘electric boat vs. shark.’
This might be the single stupidest thing he’s ever said.
I dunno. It’s pretty crowded on that list.
Nuking hurricanes is up there.
That’s just regular stupid. Saying an entire country would make a great state is advanced stupid.
So far
Just one state? With 40 million people? Okay, enjoy the House of Representatives massively ballooning.
That’s about the same population as California actually.
It wouldn’t though. It would be reapportioned. It’s locked at 435 due to the 1929 Permanent Apportionment Act. You’ll note that 1929 precedes the introduction of both Alaska and Hawaii as states.
The house being locked to that number diminishes the legislative (and electoral college) power of larger states (which is infuriatingly by-design).
The house needs to balloon massively anyway. The numbers are way under where they have been historically for representatives per capita.
Yeah, but not all from one state.
California is around 40M already, so this wouldn’t be the most moronic aspect of this idea
The US has one of the worst ratios of representatives in their legislature per capita in the world, no less.
Prob just a territory, really. Can’t be ruining our perfectly even 100 Senators.
All of the apartheid, none of the citizenship!
Can’t wait to be called a dirty snowback in my own city by my American masters!
Meanwhile, Puerto Rico
Shhhhhh, It’s alright… He’s got more for you!
Hahahahahahahaha
Ya but they are… “Brown”
No they don’t think they are! That’s why they voted for Trump!
It honestly doesn’t matter what they think according to Republicans. So they brown until Trump says otherwise.
Canadian cucks cheering for the idea of “Joining as a state/states” don’t realize Canada’s future would essentially be that of Puerto Rico for decades, Second class citizens, if we could even call them that, full rights and protections wouldnt apply. and thered also be a complete devastation of the land and infrastructure to boot as one nation tries to forcefully assimilate another.
Surrender your Sovereignty and have no representation to own the libs. YEA 'BERTA
Nah, I say we don’t conquer Canada so much as just become a Canadian unincorporated territory without the consent of the Canadian parliament.
We could come together and issue a grand historic Declaration of Dependence.
I don’t think he realises how opposed Canadians are to this idea. Trudeau has been keeping quiet about this because they don’t want to feed the troll. Meanwhile this orange moron thinks this means we’re on board with this idea.
Canada might not be as wealthy as the US and might be in a housing crisis, but we still see the US as a dystopia for anyone who isn’t the richest 5%.
How about just Oregon and Washington? I promise, we’re cool. Can we just join Canada? I’m willing to learn to like hockey if that will make a difference.
With what we have seen recently all over the world… I’d be very careful with expectations like that.
Oh I hope you 1812 us and take NY for your trouble. He’s being a fucking prick, trying to pick a fight to get trade partners on the defensive and rile up any american left with a soul. He always needs an enemy for his base. Hopefully at least this pisses off the ottawa trucker people?
NGL, a lot of the Ottawa truckers are the kind of people who would welcome it.
What patriots. /s
They never claimed to be patriots, they weren’t there because they love this country, they were their because they hate this government. They might like the people and the land, but the government is the country, really, and it’s nothing to be proud of anymore.
Scene: Canadian armies are moving down into Oregon and Washington
Everyone in OR and WA: “no, please, don’t conquer us, anything but that! Oh hey, what do you know, we all seemed to have forgotten where we put all our guns. Guess we’re defenseless. Oh well.”
Trudeau has been keeping quiet about this because
because OF COURSE.
Let the child blather on and look foolish. It’s funny talking points for the russian bots and their Edmonton bankroll.
But he hasn’t, You’ve just not been listening, Trudeau started acting like a 12 year old girl over this, went and cried in public that Harris should have won, this was such a setback to the progressive agenda and the USA and the blah blah blah, but he didn’t do this after Trump won, he did this after Trump started teasing him. (Then he claimed to be a feminist and turned around fired his female finance minister, that he had left at home when he went to florida to talk finance with Trump, another brilliant idea by the narcissist, should have sent the foreign affairs minister and stayed home himself.)
The few Canada adjacent people in his ear are telling him Canadians are all miserable and repressed in a woke-communist dictatorship.
You mean just like people around Putin told him that Ukrainians wanted to be liberated from Nazis?
I don’t think you’ve ever been west (or south for that matter, the USA is only a dystopia on TV) of Ontario, nobody much gives a shit either way. Eastern Bastards or Yankee bastards, same difference.
He does not give one shit what Canadians or anyone else thinks of this “idea.” It’s not even a fully formed thought, it’s just something he said while he was confused, and he covered by acting like he was making a suggestion. The guy has dementia, and he’s surrounded by sycophants.
It’s the concepts of a plan.
Next 4 years are going to be a wild ride.
Until he’s dead, in jail or in a retirement home for senile people I will not dismiss the threat that he represents. He keeps talking about it and started to refer to Canada as “the State of Canada” without realizing how hostile and insulting this comes across as. He’s really thinking he can pull it off and this is scary. This motherfucker is going to use the crippling tariffs as leverage against Canada.
This motherfucker is going to use the crippling tariffs as leverage against Canada.
Using tariffs as a weapon is gonna be so effective. It’s like a mugger pointing the gun at himself and demanding your money.
The problem is that it is more like being mugged by someone with a claymore mine strapped to his chest and who is dumb enough to believe he won’t get hurt if he detonates it.
That’s a really great analogy. lol “This is going to be really mentally scarring for you, and the stains will never come out of your clothes, you know…”
without realizing how hostile and insulting this comes across as.
That’s a generous take.
IKR? The real point is he fucking hates Trudeau, and has been saying that openly for years now. This is just another way to needle him.
I really haven’t seen evidence of dementia. He was always incoherent like this.
In a perfect world, the president of the United States and the dumbest person on the planet would be different people.
We do not live in a perfect world.
Just imagine Don running the US through WW3
Can’t send munitions to Ukraine if they’re all being used to Ukraine Canada
Exactly. Trump always doing putin’s bidding
Aren’t Canadians less conservative on average, than Americans?
So sure thing. Republicans might never win an election ever again. Look at all those sweet sweet electoral votes.
Or make it even better, admit each Canadian Province as a separate state, Republicans may never control a majority in the Senate ever again.
I used to think so but frankly the infection seems to have spread pretty far up here.
Well, gerrymandering is still a thing, but anyway it would be like adding another California to the US, electorally. The populations are pretty close. And actually, the less-populous provinces are a little more conservative (the truckers protesting covid restrictions were canadians, remember), so actually maybe each individual province being added as a state would work in Trump’s favor.
Not that he’s thought any of that through, of course.
less conservative on average
Yes. But, like states, provinces are each all over the spectrum, from “nice” to “winnebago aristocracy hoodwinking the farmers”. Themselves, some of them would support a bully from whom they cribbed their ‘tough guy’ drivel.
I think this is one of those “arch conservative” of one country turns out to be left of center in the US.
Not really. When people say that, they tend to be focused on healthcare. Which is fair, because US healthcare is barbaric. However, when you open it up to other issues–gay marriage, trans rights, anti-racisim–suddenly the US doesn’t look so far to the right. At least, not in terms of public opinion vs what its government actually does.
I mean, I just read through the platform of the Canadian conservative party and they’re pretty left by US standards.
This Fanta coloured asshole is going to openly flirt with the idea of invading Canada to save us from ourselves, I guaran-fucking-tee it.
First they will say that
UkraineCanada has a bunch of nazis running it; and that awar of conquestspecial military operation is required tosubjugateliberate the populous from theirfreedomoppression under thedemocraticnazi rule.Did I mention the nazis, who are totally real!
Did I mention the nazis, who are totally real!
Oh, but they are real and about to take charge of the USA.
Sir you’re about 48 years too early for that statement. Canada doesn’t get annexed until 2072!
Much more likely with him taking over is the West and East Coast split up and became Canadian provides and him ending up ruling fly over states.
Don’t really like the idea of Canada as a 51st state but maybe we can talk our way into free shipping from the U.S.
I’m not looking forward to 4 more years of this dementia riddled jackoff. I still don’t understand why we treated his coup attempt with kid gloves in the first place? Brazil has lived under brutal authoritarian regimes before, and took steps to stamp out the attempted coup by bolsonaro. We should have immediately arrested Trump, and co. Jan 6th was a distraction for the organized attempt behind the scenes. He’ll, trump fired a bunch of pentagon generals trying to find someone who would institute martial law for him.
