Make Commonwealth Imperial Again!
Canada should totally call Trump’s bluff. The GOP would lose their everloving shit at the prospect of another state the size and political leanings of California involved in US federal elections.
It would be amazing if Canada made a bunch of demands that would be seen as unreasonable. Like, demand that every Canadian province and territory be split in two, and each be admitted as it’s own state. That would add 26 new states! There’s no way the US would go for that. I’m American, I hate this administration and I have been to Canada many times. Anything that Canada can do to mess with these morons in office would be welcome.
Let the GOP force them to become a state. They’d get 2 senate seats and more electoral college votes and congressional seats than any other state. Just in time for the Dems to run on deannexing Canada.
Territories are still citizens, who can vote when they reside in states. If 2-3% of Canada immigrated, that’s 1 million people, which would shift the balance in a lot of places.
Of course, even if you shifted 10 seats in the Senate, the democrats would probably give republicans half the budget and let them write their own bills in the name of bipartisanship (again), and you’d quickly become as hopeless as the average american is in the democrats helping them.
Guys guys guys, let’s be good friends with the EU, let’s even adopt some of their best policies, but honestly, they also have some baggage we don’t need.
I just want to be sovereign. How is that so hard for people to understand?
Can we Philadelphians join?
