PingNope. I’d rather fly duty free to Puerto Rico as our Fifty-First State, Thank You!
Nothing against Canadians...who tend to run in my family, Eh! :)
Can we take in Alberta and forget the rest?
PingPing.
I thought the Canadians wanted to preserve their current status as a colony like Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands.
I’d rather it not. One: It’s forcing the “no borders” globalist agenda, and two: their health care sucks and it would likely be pushed for in the rest of the country. The hockey’s good though, that’d be the only plus. Though I wouldn’t mind just taking conservative Alberta and leaving the rest.
How about a trade? Massachusetts for Alberta? Toss in San Francisco for Vancouver as well.
I’ll take the western provinces. The rest can join France.
For years and years, The POQ has been trying to break away from Canada and either become their own country or be annexed by the United States. When I was growing up, many moons ago, people were planning this. This is nothing new to Quebec. As far as the rest of Canada, They would rather not have any part or be part of the US. Personally, I believe it would be a mistake to allow Canada to become the 51st state. Many problems would occur due to this. Mostly, an overload on our medical system/ It’s broken now, it would devastate the program if that many people were introduced into it. I think the US has enough problems of her own, not to pick up someone else’s problems like buying a used car.
I say yes, but only if we get to rename it “Canuckistan”...
Will Canada Become the 51st State?
I thought they already were.

Yuck! No thanks. Republicans would never win another election. Happy to have them where they are, 80% of them huddled within 100 miles of our border.
that’s stupid.
we can’t run our own country.
There's just one problem: the Socialists hate the Constitution. That's the reason for the SPP...they can write up their own Constitution to replace the current one.
We could do a lot worse than including Alberta as a 51st state.
Headline makes no sense — if this idea ever went forward it could not be that all of Canada would come in as one “51st state” — there would be at least 10 new states based upon current provinces.... but there would be great controversy about allotting 2 US Senators to the most sparsely populated provinces such as PEI, Nova Scotia, Yukon, etc. I see that the website does not allot senators to some of those entities, but it would be highly controversial either way.
I cannot see most people on either side of the border going for this, but who knows? As a US citizen with some Canadian ancestry I am not automatically averse to the idea, but it could be terrible if it merely cemented rampant socialism north and south, and that seems to be the most likely outcome.
I really like you...as a friend.
