The ratio to this is astonishing, but many of the replies are worth reading. Canadians are incredibly mad that one of the CBC's longest running radio programs is normalizing and framing the country as a possible 51st American state.

There have been a few times when Checkup has been hammered on social media for a program we haven't done yet. I'm in a show meeting right now. The gap between what's being posted and what we're actually planning is enormous. Our regular listeners should expect the same care we use for every show.

I think the show is trying to give an outlet to the palpable rage that's brewing here but to some it's come across as a discussion open to an 🇺🇸n audience on the possibility of a 51st state..
If it was a week ago, I'd probably be screaming too
The disregard for Canada's sovereignty is awful enough, but lumping Canada's provinces and territories, with their own governments and cultural identities, into a single state is an insult on its own.
