Canada is part of NATO, FVEY, NORAD, USMCA. Arguably the USA's best or 2nd best friend. Our biggest argument is over a rock in the Atlantic that is smaller than a city block.
A peaceful mutually-agreed merger could make sense, but why show any hostility?
yeah - i ran some napkin numbers: at least 8 "red" states with 2-8 congressional representatives (and thus, 4-10 EC votes), would all have to drop to being like Wyoming with just 1 seat and 3 votes. While California and NY would lose 3 seats each (5 EC votes), so would Texas and Florida.
@Jonathan Lamothe @George Takei π³οΈβπππ½ Worth noting that the NDP and Liberals split the leftist vote. Canada consistently votes leftwing and the conservatives almost always lose if you count wings of the parties like you would under a two party system.
"nobody like Trump would ever get elected again. And lastly you can fuck right off."
Now now, let's not be so hasty here. You bring something to the table we want, what can we do for you? We used to be under the Crown too, can we work out some deal with all three parties?
His billionaires want Canada, Mexico, & Greenland as vassal states, to be looted for their resources, just like Putin intends for Ukraine & Europe. ecfr.eu/publication/the-art-ofβ¦
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is part of a far larger war against the West. If he succeeds in Ukraine, Putin aims to destroy the existing rules-based world order and usher in a new era dominated by a handful of great powers, writes Andriy Zagorodnyuk.
@erin (she/her) @Jonathan Lamothe @George Takei π³οΈβπππ½ remember that if you live in a riding where the NDP has a chance of winning strategic voting says to vote for them. Don't strategically give us a crappy liberal party, make them compromise (or better, kill the liberals)
They delude themselves that physical isolation secures their safety, as they fund societal collapse, in an era of drones with GPS targeting & global pandemics.
Well, if the Danes manage to buy California, then technically Canada would just replace us as the 5Oth state. But I'm okay with that. Organic smΓΈrrebrΓΈd on every street corner, more bike lanes, universal healthcare and fact-based politics sound terrific to me!
Which is why the UK is more likely to be swallowed up, at least in part. England and Wales would likely vote for the 51st and 52nd Stars, while Scotland would go for independence within the EU, and Northern Ireland would likely re-unify with Ireland within the EU. England, on its own, has a GDP that would make it the 2nd or 3rd biggest State, with a population to match. And as that population has an unfortunate tendency to vote in autocrats and those who favour the rights of Big Biz over the rights of the peopleΒΉ, that would be even more votes for President Musk's second term. And just think of the kickbacks from the NRA and Big Pharma/BigMedicalInsurance for opening up a brand new, 60 million plus new market for their goods and services.
ΒΉEven Labour, the UKs dominant Left-Wing party and current Government, is decidedly Thatcherite, even more so than your Dems.
