Sharing a border with an aggressive neo colonizer that is actively looking to snatch resources and create 51st states... Now is a great time to secede from your nation
Oh.. funny if you think Trump would let any territories he conquers be states. I doubt he would even extend citizenship to his new subjects
It really depends upon whether it would be a red state or a blue state.
State? They would willing be leaving Canada (with a lot less of AB than they think they could take). The US would have all the advantage and it wouldn't be granting statehood. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up with less rights than Puerto Rico. They'd have to go that route though since they couldn't pull off being a separate country.
You're underestimating how racist Republicans can be.
If Puerto Rico or DC were 60% white they'd have been states before Regan left office. Canada is* whiter than the USA, so they'd be granted statehood faster than Trump can lie.
*: based on the numbers from https://inqira.io/q/what-is-the-racial-makeup-of-the-us-compared-to-canada , and some math subtracting "Latino" from "white".
Idk I think he'd love for Alberta to be a state. Never BC, Quebec, or Ontario. Manitoba and Saskatchewan maybe. The territories obviously not
Is that their goal? I thought there is a small magatarian movement in Canada but I'm unsure if it's condensed in Alberta
Last time I looked at this, since I have some dumb family members who think the majority of Canadians want to join the states, it's like a few k people total across Canada...and yes all of them are maga following idiots. No real majority in Canada wants to join or break away from Canada. It's just a group maga idiots who these other maga morons keep bringing up like their is a mass movement...and yes the magas here in the states eat that shit up because they're to fucking stupid to understand what propaganda is.
Makes sense that American magatarians would to try perpetuate that then. Russia did that shit when they invaded Ukraine. Sorry for perpetuating that tactic
You're not a REAL sub-national political division of a North American English-speaking country unless the right wing is agitation for your succession or partition.
(See: Texas, Oregon, California, upstate NY, and probably Quebec. Not to mention a bunch of others I'm too Yankee to know and some very-old instances like Vermont that helped the USA get from 13 to 50.)
Secede*
Thank you
