Just found the response:
Dear President Trump and the Republican Party of the United States,
Canada is a federation of 10 provinces, each with sovereignty equal to, if not greater than, the states in your Union, whose sovereignty and rights you are such great champions of.
Therefore Canada would not become the 51st state. It would become the 51st, 52nd, 53rd, 54th, 55th, 56th, 57th, 58th, 59th and 60th states. Each with two senators and a proportional number of representatives in Congress.
Your kind offer of joining your Union has been accepted. Please prepare accommodations for 20 new senators and dozens of new representatives, and kindly inform Senator John Thune and Congressman Mike Johnson there will be new elections for Senate majority leader and Speaker of the House.
Please do not worry about security for the new senators and representatives, which will be provided by units of Joint Task Force 2 that will be arriving shortly in the DC Metro area.
Looking forward to working with you,
Yours truly,
Canada
All good, except we Canadians don’t want to be Americans. Like ever. Under any circumstance whatsoever. I’ll die Canadian.
Fucking rights.
A reverse electoral conquest would be galaxy brain levels of geopolitics
He thinks of the US as a business, and is doing his usual bang-up job
It's just an old person yelling at his tv (phone).
There is no weight behind it, even if he is the President. His job is to sign here and smile for the cameras. Nothing more. He doesn't make policy or have original thoughts, he just signs it.
Cherishing people against their will has some blatant sexual assault tendencies to it. Someone should probably investigate.
The opposite of progressive is not conservative, it's regressive. Backwards. They are regressive.
I find it so, so funny that he has no idea how much these comments cement the desire to avoid such a thing.
Complete and utter lack of tact resulting in hardened opposition to his desired goal.
Ask any Canadian who's on the fence what Austria has to say about when something similar happened to them.
Sovereignty is non-negotiable
Canada could save the world by doing this. First off it would be 10 states, not 1 because of the 10 provinces. 9 would be farther left than any American Democrats. That's 18 new left Senators and 40+ House of Representatives all who hate Trump and the American Right wing party.
Canada representatives would be able to immediately impeach and convict Trump and Vance. The Speaker of the house would be Canadian and therefore become President. After fixing America, you could vote to secede. Republicans would vote overwhelmingly to let you go back to being Canada.
Ignoring the fact that the US government has been dismantled and replaced by a dictator, and the rule of law will be dictated by him.
NOBODY has the power to enforce the rules in government anymore! Who? WHO?
Except “The People” - en masse!
…and americans are soft and fat now and unable to resist, much less fight against a dictator who has put them under his heel.
