    I like that he keeps saying Canada will become a new state of the United states like it’s not a larger land mass than the United states with multiple discrete provinces and territories.

      There’s about 40 million ppl in Canada and about 38 million in California. I don’t support the idea but it’s not entirely insane for it to be one state.

        Nah it’s pretty ridiculous, most States of the USA have less than a quarter of the population and 20 have less than a tenth. Suggesting Canada joins as a single state is nonsense, particularly when it has 13 provinces/territories, each with their own established governments. The whole system of government is different from the USA.

        Apart from the whole being part of the USA thing. That’s insane. I just hope Canada’s right wing are not so craven as to want to sell out their country, but I don’t trust them.

          If I learned anything about rightwingers, it’s that most of them have no qualms whatsoever about selling out their own country.

            At the same time they do love to call themselves patriots and accuse progressives of not being.
