There seems to be some sentiment against making Canada the 51st.
It might be easier to just take a few good provinces, and then let the others just catch up over time.

A far simpler solution would be for the US to ditch its pretentions of being a real country, and re-join Great Britain. You'd get to share head of state with Canada and everything.
Go on, you know you want it.

They're all dead. All you've really got left is Burger King, and he's running the gaff now.

Really? Sentiment, you say. I would call it something else.

Might easier if idiots such as you shut up since you have nothing to say on the matter any way.

OTOH, there might be states that would like to join Canada. Perhaps there is something in all of this crazy talk. Rebel states could reinstitute slavery - and the North joins Canada.

I have a lot more to say about it than you, I am a voter. You will be told what your role is when the time comes.

You have sweet fuck all to say about this topic.
And the time has come for me to tell you about your role…
You’re a voting idiot, a Trumpsucking one at that and a bastard Copperhead as well. You know fucking well what a Copperhead is and it is not a compliment to a northern bred Yank prick like you.
Now either do what I told you and get out my corner or fuck off and die. Preferably the latter.
In the meantime you can kiss my arse with your reactionary MAGAt bullshit.

“On again, off again, on again, off again, on again, off again” tariffs are “weighing heavily” on the Canadian energy sector writ large, Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, told Forbes during CERAWeek, the S&P Global conference in Houston.
Tariff threats breed uncertainty, which paralyzes global energy investment, he said. “Businesses don’t know whether they should be making investments because they don’t know if the rules are going to change three months from now,” Wilkinson said.
and
Of the 50 critical minerals, Canada owns the lion’s share of production of the top five--lithium, cobalt, copper, nickel, and manganese—collectively, thanks to its domestic industry and its interest in international mines.
and
In the absence of the U.S. by its side, Canada is looking to secure stronger alliances with Japan, South Korea, the European Union and Australia, a critical mineral powerhouse.
“The Japanese have been one of the best partners with investment in many critical mineral projects in Canada. The EU is enormously interested as are many of the member states,” Wilkinson said. “They need [critical minerals] and they don’t have them,” he said.
As South Korea is a car manufacturing hub, it is also an interested buyer, he added.

Canada has land, oil, and trees. That's what he wants. Not sure he knows about the mosquitos.
I love how he didn't like "nasty Canada" because "they didn't tell the truth". Bro... 30,573. Here's a mirror.

Actually if you listen to what he says, he gives away his poker hand. He says "we don't need their lumber, we don't need their energy"... aka that is EXACTLY what Trump wants. The trade deficit thing is purely a distraction.

wrote on 21 Mar 2025, 14:21 last edited by Renaudaif you subtract the Canadian oil and gas imports into the US, the USA runs a trade surplus for goods and services exported to Canada.
As well Trump is wholly disingenuous about the dairy trade. For one, Canada is the largest importer of US dairy products in the world. Secondly, US dairy products have never been subjected to Canadian tariffs simply because the US has never even met its allowable quota of dairy exports let alone exceed them. The 250% tariff is there only if the allowable quota under the terms of CUSMA are exceeded. Here are the facts spelled out in plain detail:

Trump conveniently ignores the fact that CUSMA bears his signature.

He's so convinced in his own view that he's this subtle negotiator, and yet he's so bloody obvious.
Once again, they think we're idiots.
