Canadians left outraged at worrying first sign US is set to make country its 51st state
Daily Mail ^

Canadians have been left outraged by a telling clue that the United States is edging closer toward making its northern neighbor the 51st state.

Amid repeated warnings from President Trump that he's interested in acquiring Canada as a state of America, Canadians noticed some provincial parks have recently been mislabeled as 'state' parks on Google maps.

Speaking to CTV news, resident Rachel Deren said: 'I would like to draw attention to this disgusting display of American oppression of Canadian culture and autonomy.

'This alarming revelation has stirred many who have noticed, as it is an attack on our Canadian identity.'

Mount Robson Park, Whaleboat Island Marine Provincial Park and Pinecone Burke Provincial Park are among a handful of parks in Canada that go by 'state park' on Google maps.

This is despite being almost exclusively referred to as 'provincial' parks within Canada, while 'state' parks are considered an Americanized term.

'We are proud to be Canadian and will remain so despite attempts like this from our ever increasingly hostile neighbours to the south,' Deren said.

On Reddit, dozens of users have noted the same concerning trend and have set about reporting them as 'errors' to the tech giant.

'It is a big issue,' one user explained.

'Our country is under constant threat from the American administration. His tech minions undermining our sovereignty in small ways is absolutely a big issue. All these things add up. We need to fight back.'

Sensitivities are at an all time high amid Trump's repeated trolling of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about his desire to make Canada a state, insisting it is also the will of the Canadian public and referring to him as a 'governor.'

"Our Northern neighbors losing sleep. Proud of them for loving their country. Look at how many idiots here hate America."

Last I checked most freepers loved their country but looked askance at their government. I guess that makes Americans different, and better, than out boot licking northern neighbors.

Nope

Don’t need a whople slew more of libtard states

Don’t need some that think they are French

They are way farther left than most know and are rrally proud to be that stupid.

So nope on that. They aren’t worth becoming any part of the USA.

Everyone knows Trump was just Trolling.

and he put the Castro Jr. guy in his place too.

On the other hand in the history of the world country borders have never been static, the desire to make them so is just that a desire.

(sorry Pt Roberts, but you have to go back to Canada)

I asked Grok3 and they came up with this. You look to be in the ballpark.

Canada’s military, known as the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), consists of both full-time Regular Force members and part-time Reserve Force members. As of the latest available data, the CAF has approximately 68,000 Regular Force troops and 27,000 Reserve Force troops, totaling around 95,000 personnel. Additionally, there are about 5,200 Canadian Rangers, who serve in remote and coastal regions, bringing the overall number closer to 100,000 when included.

However, these numbers reflect authorized or reported strengths, and the actual number of operational, healthy troops may be lower due to recruitment and retention challenges. The CAF aims to grow, with a target of 71,500 Regular Force and 30,000 Reserve Force members under its defense policy, but it currently faces a shortfall estimated at around 16,000 personnel across both forces. If you’re looking for a specific breakdown—like combat-ready troops—let me know, and I can dig deeper!

Why are you dissing on the French?

Is there a specific reason, or did your brain get extra frys after the media claims of Freedom?

It’s a troll. Wakeup call for Canada to behave like a country ruled by common sense laws...not a leftist repucklic. No idiotic wokeness. Trudeau is 86’d out and the other tyrannical leftists.

NEVER. You want two more ‘blue’ senators? Ya’ want another ‘blue’ governor? How about another ‘blue’ state legislative chamber? How about another ‘blue’ state senate? About dozens more ‘blue’ unions?

I know it’s just trolling but some things are just not funny, we have enough shitsacks here and we don’t need to import them.

Notice that the Canucks haven’t bothered to take any of our turd world scum either.

When the Canadians stop using the names of Loonie and Toonie for money, we will know something big is going on.

I don’t want Canada to be part of this country - who wants 40 million more liberals and socialists?

That said, they should worry when we start moving armored and airborne divisions to the border, and not at all before that (and there’s about zero chance of that happening).

Canadians have always had an inferiority complex and an identity crisis.

Yes they do. I worked up there years ago and even married one. Saw it first hand.

I'll also add, Canadians say "If America sneezes, we get a cold".

Political geography wise, they are in a strange place.

Politically - insane.

Instantly - two Democrat Senators.

Instantly - the largest Congressional delegation in the USA, at least 40 Democrats to less than 10 Republicans.
