The only people it makes sense to, for Canada becoming a US state, is the people in the USA.

We have land and resources they need, that we are happy to sell them, year over year.

Also, just to mention, the dairy thing? Yeah, that's on dairy products beyond a certain cap. It's there to encourage the use of Canadian dairy, instead of relying on foreign dairy.... You know, so our dairy farmers don't go broke.

Looking at the records, that import limit has been hit...... Carry the one....... Yeah, exactly zero times.

Sincerely,

I'm in the US and making Canada a state makes 0 sense to me

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 minutes ago

That's fair. There's still sensible people in the USA.

I was a little unclear before, the set of people who think this makes sense is entirely within the set of people in the USA. Which doesn't and shouldn't imply that all people in the USA believe that this makes sense.

I apologize if there was any implication of lumping all Americans into the same pool of stupidity. That's an insult to you and I am sorry.

Have a good day neighbor.

Saw this years ago and honestly couldn't be more fitting today.

What is actually wrong with this asshole!?

[-] DemandOk@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 hours ago

we should increase export taxes on all fronts to the US, until they agree to stop this bullshit 51st state crap etc.

I think there should be a ratcheting structure, like an additional 5.1% everytime it's mentioned publicly by his regime.
