NO, only those Provinces which vote to join the USA and are voted in by our population. Actually, I can think of some rather nice "Trades" of States for Provinces!

I thought the Canadians wanted to preserve their current status as a colony like Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands.

That’s sounds nice...the voters of a state get to choose what country they want to belong too...US or Canada. But then I suppose you’ll get at least one state voting for outright sovereignty...

I’d rather it not. One: It’s forcing the “no borders” globalist agenda, and two: their health care sucks and it would likely be pushed for in the rest of the country. The hockey’s good though, that’d be the only plus. Though I wouldn’t mind just taking conservative Alberta and leaving the rest.

How about a trade? Massachusetts for Alberta? Toss in San Francisco for Vancouver as well.

I’ll take the western provinces. The rest can join France.

For years and years, The POQ has been trying to break away from Canada and either become their own country or be annexed by the United States. When I was growing up, many moons ago, people were planning this. This is nothing new to Quebec. As far as the rest of Canada, They would rather not have any part or be part of the US. Personally, I believe it would be a mistake to allow Canada to become the 51st state. Many problems would occur due to this. Mostly, an overload on our medical system/ It’s broken now, it would devastate the program if that many people were introduced into it. I think the US has enough problems of her own, not to pick up someone else’s problems like buying a used car.

If Canada were to enter the US, which it won’t, it would be as a number of states, not a single one.

Canada as a single state would be larger than the other 50 combined, which would be kind of silly.

Don't worry, there are many likeminded Canadians who will welcome you with open arms and admiration for your tax structure (which they ultimately will find to be too "generous" to allow to exist).

In addition, Canada recently had a legal decision which allows its citizens to purchase health insurance policies!

Wait a minute! I thought Israel was our 51st State! Or no, is it Iraq? Or Germany? Or South Korea? Guam? Mexico?

I am sooo confused!

Best regards,
