Speaking earlier on Friday in response to Trump’s Thursday assertion that he was ready to hit Canada with tariffs tomorrow, Trudeau said Canada “won’t relent until tariffs are removed,” but conceded the country could be in for hard times.

      Does he not realize if Canada becomes a state a republican could never hold the presidency again? Right wing canadians are further left than american Democrats.

        Literally we have Trump supporters here and constantly vote for obviously corrupt people. Alberta and Ontario being clear, loud examples.

        So, no, I’m glad it makes you feel good and all but that is a profoundly stupid thing to say and I don’t want to get dragged into your not-seeing-the-obvious thank you very much.

          I realized shortly after posting that comment there would be a low chance that canada would be a state. It’d probably be more like Puerto Rico, pay taxes, but not vote for anything that matters outside of the territory.

          I was aware of the maga nuts in Canada, I didn’t realize they had enough votes to actually matter though. Plus y’all burned down the white house once, I’m sure even the craziest canadian would be made about losing their sovereignty. Surely?

        They still love voting against their best interests though, so maybe they would join in. Also who’s to say canada would get to vote.

      As a Canadian I fail to see how this will ever make me want to join the US.

      Canada will outlive Trump.
