      Good essay.

      No, nay, never and we would not cooperate if it were even attempted.

        Disrespectful pap in this time. Not helpful.

          Make Washington D.C. the 51st state.
          At least the people of Washington D.C. really, really want it.
          Heck, also consider Guam and Puerto Rico; pretty sure they want it more than the Canadians too.

            Methinks such statehoods will only happen with a liberal President and Congress. And if you think his royal highness isn't aware of the voting bloc that Canada would bring to the liberal aisle, he isn't that dense. He already lives with a mindset of 2024 being the last free American election ever. Plus, Putin has shown him specially made crayon map drawings of the abundance of natural resources Canada provides. No, it isn't their citizens either.

              You might get Puerto Rico. Anything else, I doubt it.

                    Picking up this thread. Tulsi Gabbard recently gave a summary of threats to America. Fentanyl was a top one, but didn’t list Canada anywhere as a source of threat.

                    Doesn’t this go against Trump’s legal justification for the tariffs? He gave himself the powers to do it because it was a national emergency.

                      Yes, or at least that is what he and his hoods told us and then continued to lead us to believe was the case. There was no mention however that it was because he not only coveted our resources but, as it now turns out, our economic and industrial base as well.

                        I think his feud with Canada was all over some hottie Canuck Trudeau knew and wouldn't make the hook up for him.

                          Good story. But the USA doesn't need more states, it need LESS states. We need to stop being so greedy here and open our hearts and give Canada, Minnesota, half of Washington and Oregon, Michigan and California. A good chunk of New England, too.
