Dear Geographically Ignorant,

This is Canada:

Note that Canada is big.

Also note that it has ten provinces and three territories.

So, when you boorish chief executive elect with his ill fitting suit meets the Prime Minister and jests that perhaps Canada, upon whose resources you depend, becomes a "51st state", the jest should be that it becomes thirteen states.

And by the way, that individual took 31 states in the recent 2024 election.  Harris took 19.  Every single Canadian province, including the conservative ones, are more liberal than the American right.  Chances are they all would have voted for Harris, which would have given her 32 states out of what would then be 63.

Of course, if a union were to occur, why not actually have the US become part of Canada.  Canada's parliamentary system is more democratic than our republican democracy.  Indeed, Trump wouldn't have won under that system in 2016, or 2020, and would now be a pathetic memory.

Oh, and by the way, Greenland would be considerably to the left of any American state as well. . .
