Canada is dying, and only a few of them know it.

And most of those that do seem to believe that America will somehow save them when their country falls apart (by having various provinces secede and apply for statehood, etc). I hate to break it to them, but this isn't going to happen. The GOP will never allow most provinces to become states, because they are overwhelmingly populated by liberals that would become hardcore Democrats the moment they became American citizens. That means more RAT senators and more RAT congressman. Not a chance. Likewise, the Dems wouldn't allow Western provinces to be admitted to the US because it would result in guaranteed GOP senators and congressmen.

When Canada collapses under the weight of its own inferiority complex and socialist feelgood policies, they're going to be on their own.

You forgot about the "Canada clause" of the US constitution, wherein Canadian provinces can bypass the normal process for becoming States. British Columbia threatened to invoke it in the 1860s to gain leverage for the construction of a transcontinental railway.
