but there’s no real risk to our sovereignty.

As long as there are people who have extreme right-winged viewpoints, and who are easy to manipulate (like Republican voters), then there can most certainly be a time when a large enough group of these people "beg for Canada to be the 51st state".

If we have a conservative government in power, they may likely go along with that because "they have the support of Canadians".

Stupid people make the unimaginable possible.

And Trump/Musk only need to create enough chaos within their own country for us to lose the support of American citizens, because they'll be too knee-deep in their own shit to worry about us.

Would love to see my local CPC MP will no doubt get re-elected then try that. Things would probable start with burning down his constituency office and escalate from there.
