Do not want Canada as the 51st state

No tariff's if they take California off our hands.

They would need Washington and Oregon too.

The NE going too wouldn’t hurt my feelings.

Nobody wants them as the 51st state (US or Canada). Its a negotiation tactic where at the end of the day US gets more of what we want and Canada tries to chalk it up as a win by saying "We showed them by not joining the US as the 51st state").

Same thing as Gulf of America. Trump just makes up a name for the Gulf (cost us nothing) and uses it as leverage to get more from Mexico. "Well Claudia, its 25% in tariffs. Help us protect the border and we will knock it down to 10% AND you can keep the Gulf of Mexico by name"

Both scenarios literally cost us nothing.

We’d end up with another California that would be perpetually blue. There are some good Canadians, yes, but the majority of them are leftwing and in favor of socialism. No thank you.

Reason that could offset that:

Countries ranked by Oil Production (bbl/day):

1. US - 13,401,000
2. Saudi Arabia (OPEC) - 10,815,700
3. Russia (OPEC+) - 10,750,000
4. Canada - 5,500,000
5. China - 4,715,000
6. Iraq (OPEC) - 4,162,000
7. Iran (OPEC) - 4,084,000
8. UAE (OPEC) - 3,770,000
9. Brazil (OPEC) - 3,630,000
10. Kuwait (OPEC) - 2,720,000

Well can we think about 51, 52, and 53?


Alberta
Saskatchewan
Manitoba?


Let’s at least look into it.

Greenland would have the same resources without the lefty politics.

If we're talking about something that could work in reality and not just partisan wet dreams:

You're going to have to admit the 10 provinces as states and the federal government takes their 3 territories which is really probably for the best because those are likely to become highly militarized zones for security against Chinese/Russian land assault from the Canadian Shield into North America and to maintain claims to exclusive economic zones along the arctic as the ice cap recedes.

I think for the most part the senate would end up splitting but the house would likely favor the democrats no matter what. However, keeping the Senate split is good enough for the GOP's goals of making the legislative branch only around to approve judges who then legislate on life terms from the bench.
