After nine years under Trudeau, Canada is a long way down the path towards becoming a quasi-failed state. I think it is worthwhile to briefly take stock of Canada’s situation in order to understand what we look like from the point of view of an American administration that is dusting off the Monroe Doctrine to protect its national interests on the continent.
Simply put, no American administration would tolerate a failed state or an ideologically hostile rogue neighbor on its northern border — forced annexation, whether through economic pressure or military means, would quickly be put on the table before the U.S. puts up with “Venezuela with snow” on its northern doorstep.
Indeed, the only reason we’ve been “allowed” to exist as America’s sparsely-populated and poorly-defended independent northern neighbor despite America’s long-stated imperative not to allow any foreign nation to have a toehold on the continent is that, for all intents and purposes, we are effectively the same culture. We may not vote in each other’s elections, but we watch the same movies, tv shows, and news channels, we share identical values (rooted in classical Enlightenment-era liberalism and British culture harking back to Magna Carta), our economies are entirely intertwined, our natural resources are largely developed by U.S.-funded companies, and we’re too sparsely populated to present a serious military risk.
In short, we are a wholly dependent U.S.-satellite state that poses no military, economic, or cultural threat, so we are free to manage our own internal affairs as long as we play nice and our interests continue to be aligned. But that is changing.

Enjoy.
No part of Canada should be admitted into the US. Would you knowingly get a blood transfusion from an AIDS patient?
If anything, we should give some parts of the US to Canada, starting with Maine.
Total waste of time.
From horsehockey to horseshit.
Kind of interesting that you would say that given that Governor Clinton of Arkansas arranged to sell HIV tainted blood from the Arkansas prison system to Canada.
You apparently didn’t read the full article. I guarantee you once part of the United States, Canadians would be ardent converts to the American Way.
Apparently you don’t have the balls to make that comment to me directly. Sad.
Don't top with Maine - all of New England.

Before embracing Canada take a look at their genocidal and colonial history it would never work. Leave Canada alone we don’t need that headache.
American and Canadian cultures are diverging rapidly, either we incorporate Canada now or we fight a vicious war with them later. And we will not be fighting them alone, there will be foreign powers helping them.
We would benefit from taking Alberta and only Alberta.
Surendering to everything eventtually makes you prime pickings.
Why men cannot become women.
Give? Hell, pay them to take Maine.
