    I dunno, no Democrat ever threatened to make my country the 51st state since the 19th century…

      The US plans some of their invasion/regime change over the course of years if not decades.

      I honestly believe that Trump was briefed on some plans to annex Greenland, Canada and Panama, and the fucking buffoon let the cat out of the bag.

      I have something like 57% certainty that democrats would eventually start denouncing “fentanyl labs” in Canada and create excuses for invasion.

      edit: Worth noting, by the way, that’s it’s a consensus that Canada is more liberal than the US. Having Canada as a 51st state would essentially be handling the Dems a huge advantage for all elections going forward… Gee golly, I wonder whether they might actually root for Don a little bit, there.

        Having us as one state - jamming Quebec, BC, Ontario, etc all together would be a recipe for disaster above and beyond all the other disasters involved. It would be like, I don’t know, merging New York and Georgia into one state.

        The FLQ alone would instantly revive and start up their bombing campaigns again.

        And be real, they would never give us status as states. We’d be Puerto Rico North at best until the violence died down in a century of terrorism and genocide.

          The American elites are not above fostering a state of crisis and chaos. The BLM riots happened under Biden’s administration. Biden had deportation camps. Look at current day USA.

          These “disasters” are not the deterrent you think it is.

          And be real, they would never give us status as states. We’d be Puerto Rico North at best until the violence died down in a century of terrorism and genocide.

          Being “real” would be admitting that the US empire is on the verge of collapses. I think decades of continuation is possible, but unlikely. Century? Impossible (at least, for the current statu quo).
