    I like that he keeps saying Canada will become a new state of the United states like it’s not a larger land mass than the United states with multiple discrete provinces and territories.

      There’s about 40 million ppl in Canada and about 38 million in California. I don’t support the idea but it’s not entirely insane for it to be one state.

        Nah it’s pretty ridiculous, most States of the USA have less than a quarter of the population and 20 have less than a tenth. Suggesting Canada joins as a single state is nonsense, particularly when it has 13 provinces/territories, each with their own established governments. The whole system of government is different from the USA.

        Apart from the whole being part of the USA thing. That’s insane. I just hope Canada’s right wing are not so craven as to want to sell out their country, but I don’t trust them.
