How do you guys have enough time to argue about this? Between work and trying to return the Toyota and the 3 cases of Canadian Maple Syrup that I panic bought, I am swamped.

I was gonna say something similar. This guy takes up too much time. Not worth it.

When Canada becomes the 51st state it will have the highest population, at 40 million it will just edge out California which has around 39 million.
Wyoming has about half a million, so Canada will have 80x Wyoming's population, but the same number of Senators, that is fair.
And we should change the name too, that old name has too many memories. I would call it simply Donald, maybe Donaldland.

The electoral votes offered by Canada would put the nail in the coffin of any notion that Trump is a smart politician.

Why do the politics get weirder the further north or south you go?

You really are the stereotypical ugly American.
But don’t let me stop you. Be my guest. I have loathed you as a mere pixel troll and avatar for years, why would I want it otherwise? You’re nothing more than Foghorn’s deputised trite little Gauleiter around here anyway.

Here’s the thing.. Everybody is concerned about how the rest of the world looks at us. Why? It’s been abundantly clear for years. The rest of the world looks at us like the rest of the country looks at KC and NE in the BNFL. Oh well. You’re not going to win them over by being walked all over. While I personally don’t care for the hullabaloo over Canadian tariffs and would like a stronger and closer relationship with Canada, I’m honestly not going to lose sleep over Trump pissing them off. I very much doubt anybody’s true opinions of the other have changed one iota over the past month.

I wonder if we will automatically accept all Canadians.
There are some that we might want to ship out to live elsewhere.

Next time you and the Trumpsuckers pass by….. pass by, eh?
And as the Newfie’s would say ‘bye ye’r as stunned as me arse’.

Right you are.
For Canadians, or me at least, it’s solely about Trump and what he says and does that affects our daily lives. I could care less what he does or doesn’t do for his domestic audience and fans unless it spills over into my life. It’s not so much about what Trump and his followers say but how what they say and do that adversely affects my daily life.
Suffice to say Trump with the support of the MAGAt mob have disrupted my life and my country these past weeks without justification. It came to a head yesterday but the sword of Damocles remains above our heads. To what purpose I ask? What in hell happened to statesmanship? Why the brinkmanship and threats? Do Canadians as sovereign nation and neighbour have no agency? To us, Trump has shown himself to be the unpredictable and deranged madman or crackhead in the subway car.
So I will fight back as I see fit with those in this chat forum who deserve my derision in this matter. As it is here there are only two regular posters who are firmly and blindly committed to that WH ogre’s cult of mendacity. I will call out their credibility and statements when and how it suits me and me alone and as well I do it with mocking, derisive impunity.

No doubt Trump bullied his way into getting concessions from Canada, and shattered trust that’ll be impossible to rebuild in 4 years.
That being said, man the USA would never lose hockey in the Olympics again! All jokes aside, would it just be one big state or would they have it split into 14 new states?

If you folded Alaska into Canada, would that be enough to make Canada purplish?

Well, yea. All Trump did was piss off for NO REASON 40 million Canadians like Renauda and Blondie for no reason. Trump could have gotten everything he wanted with a little diplomacy or tact or even a "pretty please." The Canadians are not nor never were a problem. Neither are the Danes, for that matter. Why do all that intrusion into the lives of people that are on our side?
On the other hand I just got back from Puerto Vallarta and the Mexicans could care less about Trump but the American ex-pats are afraid that if Trump moves against the cartels then the cartels will take things out on the Americans living in Mexico. But that's another story.

My guess is he's compensating for erectile disfunction. He probably hasn't seen the little guy in years.
