If Canada becomes the 51st state (lemm.ee)

How many representatives do they get? They have about a million more people than California. Do all Canadian citizens automatically become US citizens? Do they all automatically lose their health care? Would we have to take Toronto as part of this deal, or could they just stay their own thing? Do the border guards get laid off, or just transferred south? Do you think it would make the Quebec separatists start to get actually serious? Would the RCMP have to change to the CMP? Wouldn't it be better for the USA to join Canada?

No one wants to swim next to a drowning person with their head deep below the surface of democracy, hitched to the wagon of a fascist. That garbage is just hype, or the duty of every American to fight.

Not or, and.

It would behoove you to learn to not be reactionary to an obsessive level and recognize when someone is screwing with you because it's fun to make you spaz out.

Ok, thank you. I will endeavor to be mindful about that.

Best case scenario Canada ends like Puerto Rico.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hmm strongly disagree. Puerto Rico should be a state: in 2022 the federal taxes paid by the residents of Puerto Rico to the US added up to $4.8 billion dollars.Taxation without representation is very un-American.

How about they're like Puerto Rico right until they win that first hockey cup versus Americans?

I don't know about hokey but didn't the Canadians just win the world hokey finals against the Americans?
