    The stupidest thing Is making Canada one state. You guys should become states 51 to 151 and then take control of the USA government.

      Canada wouldn’t become a state, and would have no representation if they were annexed. People are delusional if they think they would get full statehood and all the rights that entails.

      It would be regressive democratically; our MP system is far from perfect, but the electoral college is much, much worse.

      Set aside all the things Albertans regularly enjoy and take for granted, and that there is absolutely no way back under the American Constitution, our taxes here would either skyrocket or massively erode our quality of life overnight.

      A surface level awareness of things is telling of why it’s very bad, but even that’s asking a lot these days of the regular fellow who’s exposure to politics is limited to what their favorite pundit says.

        I hope nothing but the best for you northern bros, what I see is just the USA like 10 to 25 years ago. 🤞 I hope I’m wrong.
