The only people it makes sense to, for Canada becoming a US state, is the people in the USA.

We have land and resources they need, that we are happy to sell them, year over year.

Also, just to mention, the dairy thing? Yeah, that's on dairy products beyond a certain cap. It's there to encourage the use of Canadian dairy, instead of relying on foreign dairy.... You know, so our dairy farmers don't go broke.

Looking at the records, that import limit has been hit...... Carry the one....... Yeah, exactly zero times.

Sincerely,

I'm in the US and making Canada a state makes 0 sense to me

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

That's fair. There's still sensible people in the USA.

I was a little unclear before, the set of people who think this makes sense is entirely within the set of people in the USA. Which doesn't and shouldn't imply that all people in the USA believe that this makes sense.

I apologize if there was any implication of lumping all Americans into the same pool of stupidity. That's an insult to you and I am sorry.

Have a good day neighbor.

we should increase export taxes on all fronts to the US, until they agree to stop this bullshit 51st state crap etc.

I think there should be a ratcheting structure, like an additional 5.1% everytime it's mentioned publicly by his regime.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

The dumbest part of the 51st state nonsense, is Canada is very left leaning (compared to the US, even their right wing would probably be considered on par with Democrats here imo). Making Canada the 51st state would ensure he never wins an election again, but it seems like he's not too worried about the whole election thing moving forward. I guess when you gut CISA, and probably stole the '24 election you aren't worried about getting votes..

Also, the land mass of Canada would have to make it like 10 more states. It's already 10 provinces. It's just ridiculous.
