Trump has spoken over the last month of the possibility of annexing Canada as our 51st state. This is a profoundly bad idea. My hope is that this is mere bluster to secure concessions; and that he is not serious about this.
The population of Canada is approximately 40 million. That means it would rival California as the nation’s most populous state. It would be entitled to nearly as many U.S. House seats as the state of California.
Moreover, a New American article reveals that, of Canada’s 13 provinces and territories, 10 vote progressive/socialist and 2 vote conservative. One is tied.
Canada is a leftist haven.
We don’t need that in the United States. It would shift the balance of power toward the socialists in a definitive way.
No to the proposal that Canada become the 51st state, for all the reasons you list.
It’s really a crazy idea, Fred. He can’t be serious.
“It’s really a crazy idea, Fred. He can’t be serious.”
Ha, ha, ha. They said that about him running for president in 2016.
At this point, less than a month into a 4 year run, I don’t discount anything.
Good point, Fred.
