I doubt that adding a 51st state which is similar to California in terms of population size and ideological leaning is the brilliant move some conservatives think it it.

With Canada added to the mix, the center of political gravity in the new, expanded US would shift significantly to the left. With its current positioning, the GOP would have no chance whatsoever at winning the presidency or the House anymore if Canada became the 51st state.


It wouldn't be a state, the serious discussion right now is Canada joining with the USA in some form of union to form a common labour market & economy, which would look something like a Protectorate. The USA would protect Canada both militarily & from influence or exploitation by foreign bad actors (the chief culprit here being the European WEF). In addition, the USA would control our immigration policy in return for us merging with the lucrative American economy & labour market. It really is a no-brainer.

what?

By your logic, should Germany be broken up into 30+ independent states again? Should the UK be broken up? Should the USA be broken up into the states? Is Balkanization a good thing?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday Canada will hit back at the U.S. if President Donald Trump goes ahead with punishing tariffs on Feb. 1, promising this country will respond in kind with "robust, rapid" and "very strong" retaliatory measures.

Trudeau said Canada is ready to deploy whatever measures are necessary to try and force Trump to reverse course. He even floated slapping dollar-for-dollar matching tariffs on American products if the U.S. goes ahead with its promised tariff scheme — a program could result in levies on hundreds of billions of dollars of American imports.

Americans will simply bow before glorious leader Trudeau and cower in fear before the Canadian menace. Yall dont want this smoke. If you persist in this ridiculous endeavor, we will simply flood your cities with our h1b indians and destroy you from within.

Youve been warned!

LOL! The majority of products Americans use and buy that originate in Canada aren't made by Canadians. The base resources are sold to China, and purchased from China in end-product form by Americans. Trudeau's threat has no teeth, because Canada just isn't important. Refined natural gas and oil products are used in literally everything Canada needs to operate. They purchase the overwhelming majority of those refined products from the US. Any tariff war with Canadia ends with Canadia broke and non-functional.

I sincerely hope he carries out his threat. That shit will be hilarious. I'd be MUCH more concerned over tariff threats from China. They produce too high of a percentage of the products America needs to function property to be treated as a joke. Canada? :rofl:

fitting that youve chosen to call yourself insane...

im not going to get into the tit for tat argument about what the two countries provide for each other, but to say that Canada just isnt important is stupid.

aside from the continent of Africa, we are one of the richest countries on the planet in terms of natural resources. that alone makes us important.

but, if we are so irrelevant, than why make us the 51rst state?

i wonder if californians would agree that Canada sending water bombers to help with the fires was important or not...
