Apparently 10% or so, according to some new survey, but I can’t believe that. I know there are a few out there who think it’s a good idea, but the vast majority of us think they are morons. I live in a very conservative province and people here are mad as hell at the idea.
I mean, they say they do. They’re also the same people who wouldn’t wear masks, wouldn’t get vaxxed, tried to occupy Ottawa and are still whining about not being greeted as liberators, so the first time they encounter the reality of the US they will lose their shit.
This country is falling apart. So divided and being unnecessarily being driven to a recession. Why the fuck would any Canadian want to be part of this.
We don’t, I promise! Literally none of us. 🇨🇦 We are pissed, and not like the super polite Canadian version of pissed. All the 51st state BS has to stop. We wish you all the best in getting your country back though, it’s going to be a hard fight and I hope democracy comes out on top.
I appreciate what it has done to reject conservatives at our polls, however this needs to stop. We all know where this is going. We must put an end to this regime.
Yes, don't forget to bring Minnesota by-golly. We will change the name of the Mississippi river to Canadian Springs. And we can dam it up and make the 6th Great Lake. And we will leave the Retrumplicans behind.
If Canada would become part of the US, the republicans would be toast.
Unless… he wants Canada to be just a single state with hardly any voting power? Who in his right mind would sign up for that?
"Cherished?" How is he going to "cherish" Canada? Rip away their health care? Cancel their guaranteed maternity leave? Slash their vacation time? Make their heat more expensive? He doesn't cherish half the states he has authority over NOW! In fact he LOATHES them!
This is what many businesses in Canada have been trying to affect on a political scale through infiltration of government. They have made many inroads with conservatives more than any other party but the liberals are just as subject to these predators.
Canada has a long history of fighting shoulder to shoulder with its allies to defeat fascism. Over 110,000 young Canadians died in WW1/2 defending the freedoms of others. Canadian soldiers arrived in Europe long before any American involvement.
American economic threats, authoritarianism, and growing isolationism are seen as a repeat of historical tragedy. Understand, therefore, that Canadians view American leadership and media references to a "51st state" as both ignorant and repugnant.
The 51st state talk is bullshit. The reality of an annexation of Canada is that it would become a colony without any political representation in Washington or say over its affairs. Canadians very well know this and know not trust Trump ever.
this is false - all provinces and territories are viscerally opposed to being absorbed and metastasized by the US, a country who cannot even take care of its own citizens.
He knows that 90% of Canadians oppose this idea. Everyone knows it. But he also knows that he can just make shit up and repeat lies over and over and poof- this nonsense becomes gospel for MAGA's. We are truly through the looking glass.
Yeah his devout followers think we need to be liberated. One American lady who called into the CBC/NPR show in Sunday said that she just wants us to be free, and that’s all Trump wants too. Here’s some kool-aid for you have a swig.
These fever dreams of Canada, Greenland and Panama mean the rats are so close to the last wires. This is off the wall stuff on the daily.
Doge fires folks, Fort knox lost the gold and soon tariffs....again.
It is batshit on crack, daily.
The world just laughs at us.
That survey found just a small minority, one out of 10 Canadians surveyed, would support the idea of Canada joining the U.S., but that the vast majority, 90 per cent, were opposed.
Says absolutely no Canadian that I've spoken to, 🙄 😒 JFC!!! I mean who has cognitive issues 🤦♀️🤦♀️ Are we sure he hasn't been swiping from Elonia's stash?
The mans a complete moron. Canadians would just as soon piss on his grave. Hopefully we will have that opportunity soon. If he invaded Canada he could do it but the casualties on both sides would be horrific
And just today they’re reporting 186 kg of meth and 42 kg of cocaine got caught coming from the US over the Alberta border into Canada. Much more than what they’re accusing us of for the whole last year. But we know it’s not about that.
Alt left news organization asking/framing the question. Of course the orange man would play along. Says more about what type of press have access to the white house now than it does about the annexation of Canada. #notasnowballschanceinhell #Canada #democracy #ftrump
Massachusetts humbly requests asylum! After all, we were the first in the US to attempt healthcare for all...as imperfect as it was...we're ready for the Canadian health system! We bring Harvard, MIT, excellent public schools...
We’ve got Springsteen, Dionne Warwick, Sinatra, Count Basie, Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, The Smithereens, Whitney Houston, The Misfits, My Chemical Romance…take your pick 👍
This is literally the weirdest and most tone deaf thing thats I’ve ever seen anyone write. Also looking forward to those Sinatra and Whitney Houston concerts and new albums. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
At this point it might be a good idea for all blue states to petition to secede. It's the only thing I can think of that may stop the chaos/authoritarianism that is happening. California started a petition awhile back. If you're not scared, you should be.
America, I promise you: if you let this man start a war with Canada, we will butcher your draft-age kin like animals and build a goddamn wall along the border with their corpses.
I hear you full of bullshit. Ugh Old man loser. The only thing Canadians are becoming is less dependent or your back stabbing ass, and relying on our true friends of the world that are not turncoats on democracy. Friends of Canada in the USA we are always here.
I have reacted to this repeated false claim more than enough times by now. At first it felt cathartic to let the indignant anger loose, but now it's just fucking tiring. Too much of what this loser has to say is immediately amplified. America is being destroyed and I hope sanity prevails. NO 51st !!
For any who might believe this: no we fucking aren't. Why in the name of Christ would we want to?
Recent polls show 90% support for protecting our sovereignty *by any and all means*. You will have to pry Canada from our cold, dead, well-bloodied hands.
Why would a country bigger than the US want to become one state and only get two members of the senate for absolutely microscopic representation? You’d be a fool.
Many of us are very skeptical we'd be given any kind of representation at all. There are no illusions: this would be a resource grab and a securing of total arctic supremacy for Russia.
Canada as a US state would mean 2 senators and a fuckton of presidential electors who are all far to the left of California. The GOP would sooner nuke the US than let that happen.
This guy's such a monumental failure I'll bet even the maga crowd are now dealing with buyer's remorse!Can you imagine a sovereign country settling for peanuts this guy'd dish out?He's dim af! He's not allowed to enter into Canada btwWe don't let felons in.
#cdnpoli #USpoli
Absolutely everything he just said is wrong and insane.
But a Canadian state would bury the GQP permanently.
And to put it in Agent Orange's terms "we have a big beautiful country between us and Russia"
Also US refineries need heavy oil.
Surprised he hasn't threatened to annex Venezuela.
🇨🇦 here, this talk has created the most galvanized population I’ve ever seen. Stores are hi lightings Canadian made products and consumers are voting with their wallets. Border crossing into the US are like ghost towns.
Thanks for the emphasis on “very small” because this Albertan and everyone she knows is on the right side of this. I know we’ve got some morons here, but I promise we’re not all bad.
I am becoming unreasonably irate at this narrative at this point. He is declaring war, and you fucking US citizenry had better get to doing what needs to be done like fucking yesterday. We don’t want to go to the mats, but if we do, there will be New Geneva laws when we are done. 🖕🏻😡🖕🏻🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I’m not sure why the people who have crowed on about freedom, rights and bravery my entire life are proving to be so silent when faced with the destruction of their democracy.
He does not have the power to declare war, but there's really also nothing anybody can do to make him stop talking crazy shit like this. Thanks MAGA! But the US is never going to actually attack Canada. There would be a civil war here before that happened, I assure you.
The whole media in Canada and the US are once again culpable for normalizing this narrative. So sick of this new age of No integrity in our media to call this shit out and not perpetuate harmful tropes to further push these Populist/Fascist ideologies. Fed the fuck up. 🤷🏽♂️🇨🇦
The fact that Postmedia is owned by a US hedge fund is a large part of the problem. I hope the next federal government is not PC so we can remove what Harper allowed😡
As am I! The rage that is building within me is seeping from my pores. The hell that would be unleashed scares even me. I don’t think anyone understands the absolutely feral nature Canadians have hidden behind our kindness and politeness.
Kindness isn't weakness. Its strength. It's easy to get angry, to shout, to hit and be a bully. It takes much more discipline to be measured and kind. We will show them what we are holding back.
How is he allowed spreading his fucking lies all over the place and the world? I don't get it? It has to be more than Macron who tells the truth. Lie after lie after lie, year after year.
NOPE. Just as you lie about your polls, you're lying about this. You probably just asked Scott Moe, who is the dumbest of the Premiers and a major ass kisser. I can tell you that because I went to school with his parents, my daughter went to school with his brother. D.U.M.B..
Aside from the obvious insult to our northern friends, Canada would have two Senators representing the entire area. Congress however would have so many representatives there is no room for all of them. This is a stupid idea on so many levels.
Better looking, smarter, and more respected. It seemed unimportant initially. It was not until I read the responses of Canadians that I got it. I just wonder how many other things we are ignoring to our cost and how many distractions we are wasting our time on.
On of the things that is very difficult for us in fighting Felon is knowing what to take seriously and what to ignore. When he first talked about 51st state and Governor Trudeau I ignored it as just the usual idiocy we deal with. I thought it was just jealousy that Trudeau is so
He can want all he wants to. I’ve been to Canada. It is big. It can be fierce. Undefeated in war. Just the geese and the moose are too much. Ain’t happenin’ not now not never.
One of the worst parts about all of this is that there’s plenty of other candidates for 51st state that don’t involve threatening our allies and trading partners. DC, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. But no Trump just has to piss people off.
From what I've seen and heard, no Canadians want that. Why would they? I'm sure there are a few MAGA types there who wouldn't mind, but I'm also sure they are vastly outnumbered. I'm guessing a lot of our own states don't even want to be part of this country and its insanity right now.
You’ve seen and heard correctly. Yes, there are a few MAGA fans, but with a lot of emphasis on “few.” They are vastly outnumbered, as you said. The vast majority of Canadians are so angry about this whole situation that it’s actually been very unifying for the country. Something we can all agree on.
At least there's a silver lining. I'm jealous, I don't even remember what unity looks like in this country. I'm hoping to see it again in the near future, in opposition to this fascist administration. But damn, it takes a lot to wake some people up.
I wish someone could figure out what it would take to make people see what’s happening down there. If the past month hasn’t opened people’s eyes, I don’t know what will. I’m sorry you’re going through this.
CBC platforming Kevin O'Leary really paid off. By "a lot of people" Trump means Kevin who had to cross the border to get back into Canada after visiting Mar-a-Lago before he could call in to Cross Border Checkup's Cross Border Conversation.
It made a lot of people very cross. Weirdly the blog about how cross people got failed to mention their substantive arguments, their concerns about the shifting of the Overton window or indeed Kevin himself.
"That survey found just a small minority, one out of 10 Canadians surveyed, would support the idea of Canada joining the U.S., but that the vast majority, 90 per cent, were opposed."
I heard of one Albertan who says he’s ready to go. To that I say, let me pack your f> bags. With everything happening now under this administration Alberta is a NO GO!!! Nothing beautiful happing at all.
There’s no shortage of Albertans that would enthusiastically show that person the door. I know a lot of us are idiots, but I promise it’s not all of us.
Alberta may be higher than other provinces but it’s still lower than 20 %. I grew up in Alberta. It’s very much a patriotically Canadian place, as Canadian as ice hockey, but with a chip on its shoulder due to interference in the Oil and Gas industry from outside the province.
There are amazing people in Alberta and here in Saskatchewan. I shouldn’t have lumped everyone into the few people I’ve heard give a call out to being part of the US. To that I say let them. Hope they start packing their bags and kissing their health care good bye.
I hear you and empathise. It’s incredibly insulting to hear people suggest similar things. Outrageous even. But catch oh Canada before an Oilers, or Flames, home game and see the patriotism for Canada. It is there, and it is strong.
Albertan here, and I promise there are many of us here who would gladly pitch in for gold cards for those who want them, just so we could be rid of them.
Maternity leave in Canada is 15 weeks but most also apply for parental leave which is an additional 35 weeks ( or extended parental 61 weeks at a lower pay rate).
I would like to see any reporter ask him for specificly where he gets this notion. Not just anecdotes, but an actual poll, or large representative group which has publicly said this. I know he won't have an answer like always, and I know they won't ask, but it's high time reporters actually press.
Someone once said they'd start a GoFundMe to award a million dollars to the first journo to ask to his face: "What the fuck are you talking about? No, really: what the fuck are you saying?"
The POS asking the question was Ducey. Fuck him, his dad, their network and every culpable quif in the Whitehouse for ruining Americans access and confidence in the mainstream media. We are now in messy territory. I'm dressed and ready.
Sounded more like Ducey , but same bullshit. He's staffed the press box with idiots and morons that only praise him in fear that big shitty pants might be offended. Fuck him. I'm offended by his mere existence. I'm offended I lost so much to be called a loser, sucker or whatever other derogatory
Term they might concoct. I'm offended at all the lost time and sacrifice noone will ever know about. I'm offended from the constant reminders of service connected disabilities. I'm offended that everything was for naught. I'm offended the American people were too stupid to see through this asshole
‘Cherished 51st state’ he ALWAYS phrases it like that and it gives me the creep! He speaks of our country like one of his mistress. And make no mistakes: he’d never let us vote in anything.
As usual, Americans are deluded. Not a single one of us will let you steal our land. You are actively killing your own children now, your seniors, the disadvantaged, and you do so with maniacal GLEE. I would advise every American to stay out of Canada at this time. Sincerely.
Every day, your President (Trump? Musk?) threatens my country. Sorry, but embarrassment just feels so wrong to me. I believe your country is going to invade mine soon. U.S. forces could end my children's lives. I suspect Americans will look away, embarrassed, as he murders us for minerals.

Some people liking it is meaningless.
And yes, they WILL suffer the entire time.

Boycott USA

Our values are totally different than yours. THAT is why we don't want to become part of the US.
Vile man in charge there
#cdnpoli #USpoli
Guessing NewsMax or similar.
February 28th is Canada's national "Boycott the US Day"
Maybe that's a hint that there is no movement by Canadians to lose their sovereignty.
But a Canadian state would bury the GQP permanently.
And to put it in Agent Orange's terms "we have a big beautiful country between us and Russia"
Also US refineries need heavy oil.
Surprised he hasn't threatened to annex Venezuela.
That being said, go ahead and make them the 51st state. It will only benefit the liberal progressive side.
And by the way, it wouldn’t just be one state it would be many states that would end up being blue.
It’s hard to even joke about something this disturbing though honestly
Remind ‘em who lost the War of 1812
I’m not sure why the people who have crowed on about freedom, rights and bravery my entire life are proving to be so silent when faced with the destruction of their democracy.
Most of us would rather gouge our own eyeballs out with a spoon.
