If they "annexed" the entire country of Canada and DIDN'T give them the right to vote, the Canadian military and I'm sure a bunch of militia would absolutely (and rightfully) fight back, and could see support from Europe as well. It would be a colossal mistake for the U.S.
Oh they would never let them vote. They want Canada's land, resources, and population to exploit but they don't want them to have representation in government.
Well, if the US took over Canada then it would only take ONE election to turn this country around and get rid of all the gop. Let Canada be in charge.
Maybe it's not such a bad idea after all.
First of all none of those groups are leftists the left has been purged for decades that's the problem you have center right controlled opposition against far right fascism there is no alternative option bring in Canada you might reach the center but still no left wing and still a problem
Once again, I respectfully ask, who do we need to see/speak to about California becoming Canada's 11th province? (Washington and Oregon, 12th and 13th, maybe?)
So... Minnesota is practically a part of Canada. I see Canadian license plates all the time here. When will Canada annex Minnesota? I heard whispers the other day about Canada wanting Minnesota and one other state. Can Canada please make this a real thing?
And then keeping Quebec happy would be our problem. Are we ready to put French text on our money and everything? And don't think there would be an even larger bloc insisting on Spanish text as well. We're just not that cosmopolitan.
No matter the jokes, he does not plan to make Canada a state. At best he wants us to be a territory. That way he can loot us of resources, without representation.
Exactly the point I've been making. Especially the last one.
Unfortunately, we have a wannabee Quisling as the head of the the Official Opposition, and he'll sell us out in a heartbeat.
Guess what the number one issue will be in our next General Election?
They'd still be ANTI RED HAT. That means Movements, Lawsuits, online targeting, And propaganda CONSTANTLY churning against The Malignancy and his worshippers from ANOTHER country. Lol.
Nah, if that actually happens, we'll be anti everyone.
Canadians have two modes. Usually the first one, but when you finally cross that line, like now, we cross it further:
I'm sorry, and you'll be sorry.
Peace keepers, and Geneva suggestions.
Nice and polite, and Canadian geese.
Maybe Canada would just absorb the democratic states and Canada would have close to 51 Provinces! No more stars on the flag, just a much bigger Maple leaf!
I was thinking along the same lines. He clearly doesn’t know squat about Canada, except it’s north somewhere. He probably has no idea that it’s a bit larger than the US.
The reality of the 51st state thing is that Canada is a different country. Our fate forked away from the US 250 years ago, and we've had our own separate history and culture unfold. We don't want to cease to exist just because Trump wants to expand the map.
Exactly! It isn't a fucking joke! We are being threatened by this madman. We are so fucking pissed! All Canadian politeness is gone...Fuck them all. 🇨🇦
I’m sincerely sorry, as a neighbor from Washington St. We’re horrified at his lack of morals & lawlessness. I’m posting as much as I can on potus and whitehouse (etc) IG pages to poke fun at Trump “Hail, King Elon” to piss off MAGAts. Also posting on Cdn hockey team pages, ‘thanks for booing’ 🇨🇦
Thanks to you and BC neighbors for cheering the M’s and the Seahawks! (not Sounders or Kraken 😉). We’ll all get through this - the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦
Get mad at the American left. We've been coddling Trumpers, forgiving them in advance, inviting Trumper friends and family over for the usual social functions. This is permission. By being nice, we've helped them normalize this depravity.
I’m from Washington St; embarrassed that an idiot was elected. I sincerely apologize to you & all Canadians, our friends & allies. I’m posting on potus, whitehouse (etc) IG pages - ‘King Musk, President Musk, Elonia, Heil Muskler’ - to sow doubt in MAGAts. Psychopaths can’t laugh, esp orange ones
Just a thought... with ALLLLL due respect, what about *temporarily* revising some lyrics to O Canada?
Send a message with, instead of "God keep our land glorious and free" temporarily switch to "NOT the 51st State of a fascist in DC".... or you may think of something even better.
California is the 14% of US GDP. By itself, California is 5th (or 6th, depending on whom you ask) largest economy in the world. I think US losing that much GDP would be lovely. I'll bet Canadians would love & respect Yosemite. (And pronounce it correctly.)
I'd say do a state referendum on separation, with a lengthy campaign and a very circumvoluted question. Wash and repeat until the answer is yes 😜 Proud canadian from Québec here!
OK, fine, I'll learn all the things if you just let me in. I'll sing Shania Twain, learn French. And watch to see if the beaver sees its shadow every groundhog day promising an early Spring
Lol it was chosen in large part because of its historic significance in building Canada. In the 17th and 18th centuries the beaver pelt trade was a crucial economic factor in the development of Canada.
American here. How about a plot twist? I’ll gladly give my portion of America to Canada, we can make Mega Canada 🇨🇦 and let the United States fall into third world status. You can have your White House back too!
I know this is a joke but we Canadians don’t need this. We feel angry and betrayed by the criminals running your country and we don’t laugh when you suggest we sacrifice ourselves to save you. We are trying so hard not to go “all Americans” and this is not helping.
There's so much desperation on the part of liberals to inact that we ask Canadians to pick up the shovel. We even wonder out loud if Trump might become the anti-hero: "Musk? I think he's the coffee boy" and flushes all the plutocrats down the toilette.
This is why some MAGA GOP are saying they want Trump to add Canada but not give it political representation. They do not give even a single crap about the Constitution.
now hold on Canada, you better think about what you're

This is based on the very uncertain assumption that the US citizen would still get to vote and the Democrates would still be a legal option. From what I've seen so far, this seems unlikely.
Oh he wouldn't make it a state for this very reason it would be a territory like Puerto Rico where he can steal all the resources and exploit the people without proper representation.
George, please tell people: The rhetoric about "51st state" is only because it’s more palatable than what Trump would really do: A violent invasion and captured territory under martial law, and ZERO rights. Canada would be pillaged and our citizens murdered.
Canada has no interest in joining the US. If the US tried to take us by force, there would just be endless guerilla war until the Americans went home. Instead, it's time for blue states to seriously consider dissolving the Union and joining Canada. Imagine what a nation we could build together!
Also, we don't want to be part of the Unite States, so you'd have to send troops. And we'd send a good number of them back in small bags... Americans need to discuss that part more. We aren't kidding about it.
Was your response"NO" in response to my joking that Canada as a "US state" could actually be a good thing? Just exercising out-of-the-box thinking and illustrate how shallow current US admin. is thinking. Choose love
When you put it that way sounds like a fuckin great idea. Canada joins the US, kick emperor trump to the curb, elect some real progressive politicians and give Canada its independence back.
Ever since the head MAGAt brought this 51st state crap up it has seemed very clear to me. The megalomaniac sees himself going down in history as the potus who annexed Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal Zone. Without support of residents. Very Putinish. Facts not Fox or CNN.
Well, when they put it like THAT, now even I want to annex Canada and give them voting rights. Fuck it, let's let them vote first and see what happens!
I know this is probably a joke but we Canadians don’t need this. We feel angry and betrayed by the criminals running your country and we don’t laugh when you suggest we sacrifice ourselves to save you. We are trying so hard not to go “all Americans” and this is not helping.
Giving total "how can you joke at a time like this?" vibes, as if I don't also feel angry and betrayed by my own government and trapped in a moment where I can see everyone around me at our most powerless and terrified.
I'll keep my brevity and attempts at being lighthearted to myself from now on.
I hope you won’t keep your brevity and attempts at being lighthearted to yourself. We need people like you. Just maybe choose your targets more carefully. Canadians are just as terrified as you and even more powerless.
With all due respect, sir, that is likely not the reality. A gov't set on stripping citizenship from its own people (& only counting citizens in census) is not going to give citizenship to millions more. There are approx 1mil Americans living in Canada now, so they'd be voting for their ONE rep.
The only "reality" behind the whole 51st state thing is that Canada will NEVER willingly join the US. Americans on all sides need to fuck right off with this rhetoric.
Including you. This helps no one and only normalizes the idea.
What I'd love to see is the U.N. and countries around the world speak out against this "51st state" talk. Connect Russia's attack on Ukraine and the U.S.A.'s aggression towards Canada. State in no uncertain terms that this is "off-side", and that they would be subject to severe sanctions.
I made a post like that. If we joined the US, we would require reps and senators for each province and territory. Equivalent to what every existing state gets. We have such regional differences in terms of economy and history. Not one entity. CA & Canada could run the US ‼️‼️
I love Canada remaining a country, but dang those stats would be nice to help escape our hellscape. Still don’t want Canada to join our suffering, though.
We would have to amend the constitution up here, which is opening up a can of worms, but it wouldn't be the first time different states or countries have broached joining - even within the 21st century.
I would say I want to do it even more now, but we need to fix our shit before burdening our Canadian friends with our broken healthcare, taxes, wealthy entitlement billionaires, and imperial measurements. But asking Canada to fix our 50 + states (including territories) would be a tall order
There's absolutely no way Trump or traitor Musk plan to let any of the conquered territories vote 🤣 It's not at all certain they're going to let existing US citizens vote any more 😥
Laughable that anyone thinks he would follow the law. The whole reason he says "51st" is because he would treat us like he does Puerto Rico. Rights? Representation? HA!
All he wants is our resources.
Ian's last sentence was, however, spot on.
Seriously thinking they need to invite those of us who want out out to cross those boarders and become Canadians….. I have a feeling that there would be many who take Canada up on their offer…… js….. especially those in DC who are losing their jobs right now: amazing people who could help Canada.
Nah..California has the same population as Canada...just become your own country and bring Oregon and Wahington with you and we can trade like normal countries do and be awesome allies with the rest of Europe, Japan, Australia, NZ, Mexico etc...you don'tneed to join anyone you do you
It would be the job of the occupying Military Governor to put down rebellion in conquered nations. No way would Trump allow full rights for Canada when Rights are being dismantled in the USA.
I hate that our president made Americans not welcome in much of the world. Even years ago I told my wife if we ever traveled the world that I would wear a Canadian hat.
My apologies if I was offensive to Canadians. I wouldn't want an American to pretend to be them if I were you guys. It was only meant out of great respect . The world knows you guys have a great nation.
They will have them, but I expect them to be rigged in all the ways GOP has been claiming they were rigged before - or they will simply 'disenfranchise' any non-GOP voter.
I also looked at the population of Mexico . Not sure how many states it would add but over 200 congressional members who I think would like to help Make America Normal Again
Canada has 12 provinces so 24 left leaning senators and probably closer to 60 people for congress and I posted that somewhere around here along with the stats on Greenland 2 angry senators and only one congressperson but Greenland would actually be better off joining Canada. So close physically
I know this is probably a joke but we Canadians don’t need this. We feel angry and betrayed by the criminals running your country and we don’t laugh when you suggest we sacrifice ourselves to save you. We are trying so hard not to go “all Americans” and this is not helping.
We also feel angry and betrayed by the criminal in office, I personally wake up every single day wanting something to make this not be our reality anymore. I wouldn’t wish this evil on anyone.
In that case, let's do it. That way Republicans will never win another national election for the next three or four generations. That might give the rest of us time to undo all the damage they've done.
Can Canada just take our blue states? They would become an instant superpower with the west coast increasing their GDP substantially. Red states could keep their savior in power and live in squalor while we unite and thrive! Take us!
Technically representatives wouldn't be added, as that number is static and has been static for decades. It is unfortunately not based on population. So those would shift around (someone should do the math on that to see what it would look like)
Yup.
Very polite Canadian here.
Anyone who is entertaining Canada losing its sovereignty and becoming an American state can go ahead and fuck right off.
Can you guys annex New England though? They have French signs and everything in the northern parts. We're maple syrup Americans, so I think we'll get along just fine as part of Canada.

Maybe it's not such a bad idea after all.
Heck they probably won't let YOU vote at this point.
#ViveLeCanadaLibre
There's a beaver living in my neighborhood, and I'm sure he'd like a promotion so people would leave his dams alone.
Why is this bad??
You are wondering why it is bad to take over an allied (or at least formerly allied at this rate) sovereign country???
Unfortunately, we have a wannabee Quisling as the head of the the Official Opposition, and he'll sell us out in a heartbeat.
Guess what the number one issue will be in our next General Election?

Canada wins the war, means Trumpers die.
Canada loses the war, means Trumpers lose elections.
Seems like this is win win for leftists. Time to invade!
MAGA: SEE! THEY HATE US AND WANT US DEAD!

And we do this to avoid reality.
We look for celebrities & heroes. We wonder "where are the Democrats?" as if they matter at all.
Hundreds of thousands took an oath to defend the Constitution. Maybe that will matter.

It’s also more liberal if you can imagine that.

A thousand times, no.
We'll take the kinder states that want to join us, though.
Win.
Strong: the USA should become the 11th Province
timeline but Trump plans to do away with voting all together, so….
I'll keep my brevity and attempts at being lighthearted to myself from now on.
Second, if you did conquer us and then give us the right to vote, the only thing we'd be voting for is independence.
Third, bear in mind we would start an insurgency that would make the IRA look like debate club.
As someone who is trapped in this hell hole, I wouldn't truly wish this on anyone.
And if y'all did truly launch an insurgency like that, I would absolutely support it.
The jokes about how we would vote after being annexed were funny and poignant right up until your Head of State started actually threatening to do it.
It's not a joke anymore. It's not funny. It's dangerous and terrifying. Stop normalizing this, even in jest.
Including you. This helps no one and only normalizes the idea.
(Don’t freak; of course I’m pro-Canadian sovereignty) 🇨🇦
All he wants is our resources.
Ian's last sentence was, however, spot on.
I’m starting to warm up to the idea when you put it that way lol
But nobody can ask for such a sacrifice.
You have to jail him yourself.
Once again, I respectfully ask, who do we need to see/speak to about California becoming Canada's 11th province?
Only people buying this distraction are the maga followers. Because they don't understand the constitution.
Musk is already threatening us.
Just one thing on that at one point, we were the only country in Europe still standing against the Nazis.
Don't particularly want a repeat, but fafo.

Secondly, never happening.
Thirdly, 47 is lying.
Canada would just be another territory without representation. We would never be given state privileges.
Just no.
Senators though yes that would increase.
We find that @uncapthehouse.bsky.social enjoys broad support from all political backgrounds.
The establishment doesn’t care for the idea, because, you know, power.

Canada would become the "1st Gulag".
