    I live in Massachusetts and would totally support seceding and going to Canada.

    Can RI come along too? You won’t have to worry about their terrible driving, they’d never drive out of the region.

    Not to nitpick but Ford offered to buy Minnesota and Minneapolis but Minneapolis is a city IN Minnesota. I think it would come with. Kind of like whip cream.

      While stories like this might make Doug Ford seem like a pretty cool guy, rest assured that he’s an idiot. And a terrible Premier.

      Frankly I’m surprised he’s not bending the knee for Trump. The two have a lot more in common than they do differences.

        Good to know. Thanks. Not up on Canadian politics. US politics keeps me pretty busy these days. You know, mostly cringing in fear.

      Idk it’s basically like the cities and a whole lot of nothing. He might have just been like throw in the rest of Minnesota, but no deal without Minneapolis.

    Having watched Strange Brew, I’d have expected a response more like,“Take off, you hoser!” from those fine folks in the Great White North.

    “I’ve talked to so many governors and congresspeople and senators and never once did they say Canada is the problem,” Ford told CNN. He emphasized that a bilateral deal between Canada and the U.S. would be a better solution than imposing tariffs on Canadian goods.

    I’m no fan of Doug Ford, but he’s right here. I guess Trump’s plan is to drive Canada into the ground economically through tariffs then invade or otherwise annex Canada when it’s too poor and desperate to resist. But why? It would be more profitable to both the USA and Canada simply not to do any of this. There are only two explanations I can think of:

    1. Belligerence is the only thing Trump understands, even when it works to his own disadvantage, because actual diplomacy is too complicated for him and soft power contains the word “soft”, and/or
    2. Trump isn’t working for the interests of the USA, but rather for those who want to see NATO and other Western alliances destroyed.

    Watch out about offering to buy something. Sometimes they force you to go through with it.

    Ask Elon.

    Convicted felons aren’t allowed to enter the country.

    Trump couldn’t try before he buys.

    Under Trump’s plan would a Canadian-cum-US American be eligible to become President of the United States ?

      It would be an occupied territory without rights, basically Puerto Rico but given the nestle treatment to stripmine it of all resources, so in a word. No
