‘F*ck You!’ Canadian Podcaster Loses It Over Hockey Players Shaking Trump’s Hand Amid Threats to Seize Country as 51st State - Lemmy.ca

One I’m about to say sounds silly but I say it often.

“He wants to make all of Canada a single state…wouldn’t you break it up into multiple states? With Canada as the 51 state be the new powerhouse? Like California? Because Canada is like a whole ass country”

And now that’s not the issue. The issue is that he’d threaten war at all… but imagine the entirety as Canada as one single state. Also Venezuela is the 52 state. Iran and Greenland are combined to the 53 state because fuck it its nearly 5 o’clock”

Keeping it a single state means fewer senators. Not that Canada is like a communist haven or anything, but they’re FAR from our MAGA bullshit and they don’t wanna dilute the power they’ve accumulated in that chamber of congress.

Also, Canada would be the 3rd or 4th highest GDP in the US if it became a single state. California and Texas have it solidly beat. NY is neck and neck with Canada.

California doesn’t fuck about. While a higher gdp than new York’s is still nothing to ignore

GDP seems to be a high score for wage slavery.

Canada does things slightly differently.

That’s very true. I’m living with a dictator who insists the economy is great because stocks are high. That’s not really how the average persons measure life.
