One in five Americans (20 per cent) polled by Leger this week say they would like their state to join Canada, more than double the proportion of Canadians who said they would like their country to become the 51st state of the United States. Article content
“Only 9 per cent of Canadians believe it is likely that Canada will become the 51st U.S. state. By contrast, 20 per cent of Americans would like their state to join Canada and become a Canadian province, a proportion that is higher among respondents aged 18 to 34 (30 per cent),” reads the new Léger report.
Colours on signs don’t mean anything when there aren’t mass protests against the rhetoric.
I live in another separate independent nation* so frankly I find any incredulity at me and my fellow citizens rage laughable and frankly insulting.
If these blue states are majority against this, then why are the protests having meagre showings? Why are people not mobilizing. They don’t seem to care from our perspective, or at least, they’re still comfortable as it doesn’t impact their personal lives yet so they aren’t acting. This is the impression we get.
Why am I, as someone from another country, which is being threatened by your government which represents your citizens more responsible to try and combat the lies and apathy than the people who live there. Why should I say “yeah your democratic experiment failed, let’s bring more of that inaction and that societal decay here”?
I get that it’s frightening for you, empathize with how your neighbours feel.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate it.
Yeah no worries. It’s a tough topic amongst at least the folks I know, and I’d be lying if I said I don’t have the lowest of expectations any actual resistance from the USAers if something were to come our way.
