I can’t think of a single troop I’ve ever met who’s had it out for Canada, quite the opposite. This whole thing is coming from one person and he didn’t campaign on it at all. This makes as much sense to Canadians as it does to Americans. No one asked for this, not even the mouth-breathing Trumpers.
Make Ukraine the 51st state
Trump and Republicans trying to convince Canada they’ll be treated well while they’re pissing all over their colony in DC right in front of everyone.
If we get in, Puerto Rico has to get in as well.
The only people it makes sense to, for Canada becoming a US state, is the people in the USA.
We have land and resources they need, that we are happy to sell them, year over year.
Also, just to mention, the dairy thing? Yeah, that’s on dairy products beyond a certain cap. It’s there to encourage the use of Canadian dairy, instead of relying on foreign dairy… You know, so our dairy farmers don’t go broke.
Looking at the records, that import limit has been hit… Carry the one… Yeah, exactly zero times.

I’m in the US and making Canada a state makes 0 sense to me
I literally thought it was another one of his stupid speaking mistakes, like when he suggested bleach/UV inside the body (he was just repeating some stuff he didn’t understand badly, and iirc he didn’t keep harping on it). Kinda surprised to see he was serious about it, it makes no sense to me either.
From a trade/foreign policy perspective, no, it makes no sense. From a long term growth of the USA perspective, it makes a lot of sense. As the Earth heats up, the equator will become less habitable, and the poles will become more habitable. Canada and Greenland have a low population density because of their northern climate, they have resources that are un-extracted because it is not economical to pay someone to live on-site. Every year it gets warmer, and that land becomes more valuable.
For the record, I’m not against Canada becoming a new State, but I am against using military or economic strong-arming to sway that decision.
I guess he’s also admitting to his desire of never having any new elections? As Canada would get like over 50 seats in the electoral college…
Canada would never be state. A territory of unending insurgency at best, until the US killed every last one of us.
That’s fair. There’s still sensible people in the USA.
I was a little unclear before, the set of people who think this makes sense is entirely within the set of people in the USA. Which doesn’t and shouldn’t imply that all people in the USA believe that this makes sense.
I apologize if there was any implication of lumping all Americans into the same pool of stupidity. That’s an insult to you and I am sorry.
Have a good day neighbor.
Nah we’re good. I totally get the intent and point. And I’m one of the ones hit by the electricity thing. Sucks, but y’all have to fight back.
Sorry about that. I’m not far from the border at Niagara falls and I know how much power is sent over the lines across the Niagara River (generally)… It’s not great, and I’m sorry you have been caught in the crossfire here.
You don’t want this, I can assure you, we don’t want this, but it’s what is happening.
I don’t even think the people who voted for Trump had annexing Canada on their minds when filling out their ballots. Was it mentioned once during the campaign? I wasn’t listening, I knew I wasn’t gonna vote for him 9 years ago.
I mean, until last month when cross-border relations got kicked in the teeth by the diaper in chief, what did I need the State of Canada for? I had the Nation of Canada right there. It’s not like we weren’t hugely cooperative trade partners or anything.
To be clear, the people who want this are the American capitalists who stand to profit off of Canada’s natural resources. If we were a US state it would be much easier, almost downright trivial, to move up here and take whatever they want.
Obviously, Canada, and Canadians, don’t want that, and it would seem most of the US population doesn’t either.
IMO, this seems like a move by the people who are puppeteering Trump around. They see an opportunity to exploit what is currently a sovereign nation, and they’re going for using Trump as little more than a mouthpiece for their goals.
The man wants to make deals, right, so make a deal. (warning I’m an American and know just enough about Canadian government to be dangerous)
“Join” the United States of America under these conditions:
- Mexico can join too if they want
- Each Province or State of joining countries becomes a State
- The Constitutions of all countries apply only to the States it previously applied to while a new Constitution is written
- The rules of the Constitutional Convention must be agreed to by both a majority of the joining States and 2/3 of all States
Please make this deal. Our governments are all too old to work great in this age but maybe we can forge a new design fit for the 2000s if we erase most of it and start fresh.
Saw this years ago and honestly couldn’t be more fitting today.Our Moron in Chief
it sounds like he was writing this one handed.
Oh he definitely wanks it to the idea of being a dictator
This reads like a creative writing essay written by a 12 year old kid.
But not Puerto Rico, Guam, Washington DC (at least voting rights) or any other territory that has been essentially part of the country but probably is full of brown people so they don’t get the upgrade.
The dumbest part of the 51st state nonsense, is Canada is very left leaning (compared to the US, even their right wing would probably be considered on par with Democrats here imo). Making Canada the 51st state would ensure he never wins an election again, but it seems like he’s not too worried about the whole election thing moving forward. I guess when you gut CISA, and probably stole the '24 election you aren’t worried about getting votes…
Also, the land mass of Canada would have to make it like 10 more states. It’s already 10 provinces. It’s just ridiculous.
is Canada is very left leaning
Idk, this election is very close for a Poilievre win. Pretty sure the Fox News propaganda machine would do its magic in no time.
I don’t think anyone there wants to abandon their free healthcare, but you never know with these smooth brain conspiracy people.
People don’t understand what’s up with abandoning healthcare. Ford keeps getting re-elected…
What is actually wrong with this asshole!?
He’s a demented fascist. As in he literally has dementia.
He’s a fascist
It would be faster to describe what’s not wrong with him.
Thing is, Canada doesn’t want to be apart of the USA. That should tell you a ton about the state of the union. Maybe adopt the advantages the Canadians have over us? Then they might be accepting of joining.
But Canadians are proud and love their country sovereignty. They will fight to protect it. Why start a war over nothing?
Fuck Trump and anyone who supports this stupid fuck.
The only thing that makes sense is for Trump and Musk to take a rocket car to Mars.
we should increase export taxes on all fronts to the US, until they agree to stop this bullshit 51st state crap etc.
I think there should be a ratcheting structure, like an additional 5.1% everytime it’s mentioned publicly by his regime.
Automatic export tax for the US goes up by 100% each time their Orange Mussolini or one of his underlings says it.
