Look, I see what you're doing and I kinda wish you were right, but no, we can't bring Canada in. Maybe Alberta and Saskatchawan and Yukon and most of BC. But that's it. We don't want them as a state. Sorry, you guys we are full up on retards already, thanks.

Canada is a fragile union kept in place by Ottawa bribing Quebec and the Maritimes with Alberta’s money. There are two provinces holding Canada together: Alberta and Quebec. If one leaves, the rest falls apart.
Ontario needs Quebec to ship its goods to foreign markets as Quebec controls the St. Lawrence River. Without the ability to freely move goods via that river, all water borne commerce from Ontario would have to flow through the US.
Quebec is promised extra money in exchange for not voting for independence. This keeps the St. Lawrence open. The Maritimes are essentially poor welfare states, and rely on Ottawa to provide funds for their aging populations. Almost all of this money comes from Alberta. As a result, Alberta gets back only a tiny fraction of what they pay in taxes.
Ottawa has run the rest of Canada’s economy into the ground. Albertans have grown weary of shouldering the burden of propping up multiple failed provinces with nothing to show for it. It’s time for Canada as we know it to end. In fact, the same thing can be said for much of the former British Empire.
I, for one, look forward to the American annexation of the Anglosphere (Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK).

A viable plan for Canada To Join the United States
Among other reasons, Canada is a leasehold country (like other UK countries) and the USA is not. It is like adding Puerto Rico as a state while the Bacardi family holds sway in Puerto Rico and favored tax laws.

quote:Right. It's not that important because there is flux in the comparators.
Based on 2024 GDP per capita numbers and the current conversion rate, of the 50 States and 10 Canadian Provinces:
Alberta would fall as the #1 Province, or 39th US State (39 overall) with a Per Capita of 70470.07 just under Michigan at 71083 and above Vermont at 70131.
Saskatchewan (66003.64) would be the #2 Canadian, or 43rd US State (44th overall), Just behind New Mexico at 66229 and ahead of Oklahoma at 64719.
The main point, though, is loss of Alberta (and Saskatchewan) would be catastrophic to Canada. More so than most folks would realize.
It's a snapshot in time. The CAD was extremely volatile last year, ranging from 56¢-76¢/USD. Those shifts would move Alberta up or down 10 spots (or more) in the ranking.
Alberta’s GDP is also tied to oil. For example in 2022, when oil prices ran north of $100/barrel, Alberta would have fallen in at around 14th among US states. So there are variances.

Don’t add anything to America. We are already too big to be effectively governed.

So Trump insulted you and then you set your house on fire.
I used to like all Canadians, but now there are many who have spent a year trashing the US and boycotting us.
You have no idea how badly Canadians have ruined the friendliness that used to exist.
There will be long term impacts, starting in June of 2026 when the trade deal expires.

Agreed, so much of their economic model involves funding based on oil revenues.
All those protectionist rebates and subsidies dont work as well in a nation running an import surplus.

You really need to look up words before you use them.
It's really ignorant to keep assuming that how you think of a word is the actual meaning. Your assumptions about international law, unilateral separation etc...
All have shown that your nastiness stems from egotistical ignorance.
You can look back, you use insults to pretend you know more than you do.
I feel sad for you, I really do.

Yes, that you repeatedly have misunderstood terms and when I grab official definitions and legal statements you are shown to be ignorant.
Anyone can see this thread as you twist and then abandon previous statements because you made up meanings in your head.
You seem to be psychologically unable to deal with two decades of terrible Canadian economic decisions and a globalization PM who will destroy Canada.

Brah, I am not Canadian. And you don't appear to get why you are a moron. Post through it little guy. No part of anything you want from this world will ever see fruition.

No, you are just fundamentally the same person as Donald Trump.
You copy his mannerisms, his "little Marco" comments, his ignoring of facts for broad statements and inattention to details.
The only way you can dislike him is because he is a much better version of you than you are.
You've thoroughly shown how little you care about actual facts and how you really have no idea what you are saying.

Lol. My man quotes the definition of Balkanization at me while talking about Yugoslavia and still doesn't get it.

If that helps you sleep at night. You don't know what you are talking about at all. Quote the definition of Balkanization at me again, idiot. And then quote the ICJ's ruling about unilateral secession. Just a beautifully retarded performance my man.
