He's trying to normalize this by actively repeating the crazy. Not to mention that Canada itself is comprised of multiple provinces that are mostly larger than many US States, so this would be more than 51st state (sorry this bothers me a bit even with all the crazy).

Until you put your rabid dog down-fast, and hard, America is NOT welcome in Canada!

Fuck you, America!

None of those statements are supported by any facts, or data. The opposite is mostly true.

You want to manufacture an invasion?

This WILL hurt the average American more than it will us.

You voted this POS in? GET HIM THE FUCK OUT OR FUCK OFF!

Just found the response:

Dear President Trump and the Republican Party of the United States,

Canada is a federation of 10 provinces, each with sovereignty equal to, if not greater than, the states in your Union, whose sovereignty and rights you are such great champions of.

Therefore Canada would not become the 51st state. It would become the 51st, 52nd, 53rd, 54th, 55th, 56th, 57th, 58th, 59th and 60th states. Each with two senators and a proportional number of representatives in Congress.

Your kind offer of joining your Union has been accepted. Please prepare accommodations for 20 new senators and dozens of new representatives, and kindly inform Senator John Thune and Congressman Mike Johnson there will be new elections for Senate majority leader and Speaker of the House.

Please do not worry about security for the new senators and representatives, which will be provided by units of Joint Task Force 2 that will be arriving shortly in the DC Metro area.

Looking forward to working with you,

Yours truly,

Canada

Don't forget our three territories,, all of which need full representation...

And our provinces are so large they should each be split in 5, making us the 51-102 states.

The opposite of progressive is not conservative, it's regressive. Backwards. They are regressive.

Cherishing people against their will has some blatant sexual assault tendencies to it. Someone should probably investigate.

I find it so, so funny that he has no idea how much these comments cement the desire to avoid such a thing.

Complete and utter lack of tact resulting in hardened opposition to his desired goal.

Ask any Canadian who's on the fence what Austria has to say about when something similar happened to them.

Sovereignty is non-negotiable

Canada could save the world by doing this. First off it would be 10 states, not 1 because of the 10 provinces. 9 would be farther left than any American Democrats. That's 18 new left Senators and 40+ House of Representatives all who hate Trump and the American Right wing party.

Canada representatives would be able to immediately impeach and convict Trump and Vance. The Speaker of the house would be Canadian and therefore become President. After fixing America, you could vote to secede. Republicans would vote overwhelmingly to let you go back to being Canada.

Ignoring the fact that the US government has been dismantled and replaced by a dictator, and the rule of law will be dictated by him.

NOBODY has the power to enforce the rules in government anymore! Who? WHO?

Except β€œThe People” - en masse!

…and americans are soft and fat now and unable to resist, much less fight against a dictator who has put them under his heel.
