Interesting. I never thought of the flag, though I was pondering proportional representation, with Canada having a similar population to California if it becomes the 51st state.

Wouldn’t that almost guarantee that there would never be another republican government ever… if Canada became the 51st state?
So…in the “if” column…with a population of about 41,000,000 (Canada as a 51st state), it would be slightly higher (close anyway) to California, and much higher population than Texas by about a NYC…so would the State of Canada get 2 Senators & about 54 members in the House of Representatives?

Think of how that would skew American Politics? With the exception of the current after a decade of Trudeau Stank, usually Canada is about 1/3 right-leaning (by our standards anyway) & 2/3rds left-leaning, generally anyway, so that would pretty much make the American political party called the Republicans extinct, wouldn’t it?

That would drag America away from the right in a New York Minute (or the next election & every one after that). I wonder if Trump has pictured that scenario yet?😳

Even if Canada was broken into 2 or 3 smaller states (call it Western Canada, Eastern Canada, & Central-ish Canada), they’d still add up to 54-56 Members in the House of Representatives, & 2-6 Senators…& most pretty much left of the current American administration.

Would that help balance out the number of stars on the American Flag (?) especially if three of them where Red Maple Leafs? 😉

America would geographically double in size overnight, & forever (at least for the next several decades, call it at least a generation) be thrown way to the left of anything it’s been before now.

Yeah…the “United States of Canada!” I kind’a like the ring of that. Then we could rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of Canada.” While we’re at it, we could rename Alaska to “North West Canada,” & Montana could then be renamed “South West Canada,” etc…

There is no "state shit" watch the video link I posted and you'll know what's coming.

I’m assuming I was at work earlier when you posted that, & I was just having some fun after work while making supper, & the keyword I think you missed there was “if” in quotation marks in the very first sentence.

“If” as in speculating the hypothetical. Now, where would I find this video that you’re speaking about? What thread and what post number? Just curious.

Trump is waiting. Watch this to get the gist of it.

This? Is this the one you’re talking about? Kevin O’leary’s Interpretation of what he thinks Trump wants (?) when it seems that Trump’s own cabinet doesn’t know what he really wants?
If this is the video that you’re referring to, at about eight minutes in, Kevin O’Leary himself states, “I don’t think anybody knows what’s gonna happen next week…”

If this is, as O’Leary is speculating, Trumps sales pitch for a unified economic union, the I’d venture to say that it’s an absolutely horrible sales pitch…or is it some other video that you’re referring to? Some other punchline set up as a homework assignment to try and find it as opposed to just saying what you think is gonna happen?

Here’s a different CBC video, opposed to your CBC video, assuming that’s the video that you were referring to above (?) about Trumps “union” sales pitch ‘cuz if that’s what the goal is, he’s doing a piss poor job of selling it.
If that’s the case, we would be better off as the 51st (or 51st-55th or whatever) state(s) with, based upon population, political clout & say at least equal to or greater than that of California in US government.

Would you be indicating that you are FOR this latest Trump "idea"???
How many on here WANT CDA to become the 51 state?? Trump may not be intelligent, but he is cunning and knows that some in CDA would pave the way for h is expansionism. IF some want to be American........then just move there . If some want the Pharaoh in chief as their leader......again......just move there and let the rest of us rebuild this country to its potential. CDA has allowed itself to become complacent in its dependency on the US. This is a major wake up call.

Between the threat of Tarrifs and this fifty first state that is being tossed around...... the CDA USA relationshiop has changed , and what used to be a friendly , cooperative situation is gone. The Trump USA cannot be trusted. (by anyone on the planet ). He is not only changing America into something unknown as yet.............but is changing various parts of the world .........(again......with threats , revenge and instability. He is breaking laws and could care less as he believes he is now entitled to do as he wishes. Let's not forget that a lot of his behavior and decisions are part of his "Retribution " tour. There are a lot of people , agencies and countries on his "hit list" He and Musk are two vile men that now have far too much power ...... and we are seeing the direction things seem to be going. (consolidating power and increasing wealth He and Musk are the constitution's nightmare.

We never could. What in our history makes you think we were ever anything but intensely self-interested?

Yep, Gaza was the Switzerland of the Middle East until 20 Jan 2025.
He is breaking laws and could care less as he believes he is now entitled to do as he wishes.
And he's being sued on them, left, right, and center. It's the American Way.
Let's not forget that a lot of his behavior and decisions are part of his "Retribution " tour. There are a lot of people , agencies and countries on his "hit list" He and Musk are two vile men that now have far too much power
That's certainly true.

You can blame the Congress for that. The Framers (of the Constitution) expected power competition between the three branches of government, and especially between the President and the Congress. They wanted that.

The real wake up call is Canada is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Ok, well, waded though that, while doing other things, as that’s 1/32nd of the time I plan on being awake today. Kevin O’Leary is out for Kevin O’Leary, & what he thinks is good for Kevin O’Leary. Got it. He & some CBC Personage talking over each other without actually saying much beyond Kevin O’leary’s self promotion.

This has sold you on his “Uni?”? Getting further into bed with the Trump/Musk/O’leary ménage? Personally, I’m not liking their form of diplomacy, as a sales pitch for Uni unity. “Or else” is a turn off.

Yeah, we’re all in shitty shape right now, but this “Tariffs or Uni or 51st State” ax over our necks comes across as threats and selecting the lessor of all evils…with a pack of gloating fucktards, & that’s a bad sales pitch. Can we agree on that much?

If it were only O'Leary and then current ball of shit we're in.

I'd don't think you fully grasp the impact of the USD losing Global Reserve status to a hostile BRICS currency and alliance.

We could easily be forced into cuddling up with the Euro. How would the media bogeyman Europe? We'll be a Danish territory with reindeer herding downtown Toronto?

Apparently not, as the BRICS aren’t currently outwardly pulling Trump-like threats upon us for comparison I guess.

Is Europe & the European Union currently threatening Canada with annexation and economic sanctions to buckle us in a trade war…& by us I mean Canada and not retaliatory reactions to Trumps threats and tactics to our Neighbour to the south’s leader?
How would the media bogeyman Europe?
Why would they unless Europeans where trying to threaten us with what we’ve seen from our ally below us? Are they? Europe threatening us I mean?
We'll be a Danish territory with reindeer herding downtown Toronto?
What? Trump & his tactics are protecting us from the evil Danes & their global reindeer herding ambitions now?

Can we trade meth and fentanyl addicts from downtown Toronto for Reindeer to replace them?

What threats? EU has the problems as we do against BRICS and USD collapse.

What threats?
Uhm…25% tariffs on all Canadian products except energy related at 10%, that’s currently on a ticking clock reprieve for a few more weeks, or not, depending on whatever Trump pulls out’a his hat next for grievances? Those kind of threats? Or those tariff threats aren’t threats?

You may think they aren’t going to happen, but I’m scrambling like many many others to get things done ahead of the next Trump deadline unless that goalpost moves again…over maybe border issues, or maybe NAFTA pre-negotiations, or maybe something else that hasn’t been thought up yet…& it’s a huge amount of extra effort including several hours this morning so far.
EU has the problems as we do against BRICS and USD collapse.
We all have problems. Is the EU a Canadian problem like Trump is currently? Are the Brics currently a problem directly for Canada like Trump has made himself? These are two separate questions.

My bet is they went by ship to Vancouver, where there is no port security, Train or truck to Toronto, where drug use is financed by the city, to be sold into the US.
There was a recent lab bust in BC that had enough precursor chemicals to make everyone in Canada OD. So certainly not for the local marked.

Trump has done some "good"???? Has he reduced the cost of living and the inflation.?? as he promised. His actions have only increased the portentail for higher pric es and inflation.
Is it "good" to threaten other nations with "take over" / expansionistic ideas??
Is it "good" to apply tariffs to the two neighbors that already have a trade agreement , that is working and a relationship that has worked well mutually??
Is it "good" to relieve staff of critical agencies en mass because the bottom line is the most important factor in the Trump/Musk ideology. Are job LOSSES by design in this way "good"?? For whom??
Is it "good" to threaten Greenland, the Panama canal, and Gasa with take over domination?? Empire building??
Is it "good" to sanction the ICC???
Is it "good" to threaten the EU with tariff's ???
Is it "good" to badmouth their neighbor just to make the Bully in cief feel powerful and immportant??
Is it "good" to toss out verbal hand grenades onto random placews........creating anger, tension; uncertainty , and potential instability??? Is his plan to terrorize other places until he can take them over in his empire building.
Is it "good" to behave like an authoritarian emperor as opposed the role he was elected for by his devotees??
Is it "good" to govern by threats, destruction and bullying??
Is it "good" to take on the whole world?? ( except his dictator friends)
Is it "good" to destabilize the planet , while preaching the LIE of PEACE.
Most of all , is it "good" to have a narcissistic , sinister, psychopath at the helm of what used to be a good country with loads of potential??
Is it "good" to have the rest of the world NOT TRUST the Trump country ?? Because it is evident that it cannot. He is too volatile , unpredictable , mercurial...... and angry......bent on RETRIBUTION...........(which is what he is putting into action )

And it is barely a month since he retook the oval office

Oh.....and is it "good" that he is sending "illegals" ( however HE describes them) to Gitmo...........which could be interpreted as Trump's " camp
for punishment. (and NO ONE knows what really goes on there )
Yes to many of them. Canada, and much of Europe needs a wakeup call.

If you don't want to be American, just move to the communist country of your choice. Do not attempt to make Canada communist.
