It doesn’t make much sense to make the entirety of Canada one state.  Canada has over 30 times the land area of Texas and about 30% more population.  After we conquer them each Canadian Province should be its own state, so we would have 62 states.  The former Canadian provinces would have 24 of our 124 Senators and probably 46 of the 435 Representatives, so about 70 of 562 electoral votes

And if it was ONE State, there's a more than 50% chance it'd vote blue.

No they are not. They were not Canada at the time. According to the concept of an independent nation they were not one when they built the space robot arm for the space shuttle. THEY EVEN LIED ABOUT THAT....

They were British lackeys who tolerated a French enclave and sunk our ships trying to sneak in and fish their waters.

When did Canada get full independence?
 
1982
 
Thus after the Statute of Westminster, Canada took decades to reach towards full sovereignty. Canada adopted its own constitution and became a fully independent country in 1982. A bill was passed by the Canadian government renaming Dominion Day as Canada Day in the same year.

Bro, we are not 1-2 against the Brits.

Give the loveable lumberjacks with a heart of poutine some credit, eh?

Starting my week with half a dozen emails from self important pricks asking for "detailed analysis of tariff impacts" on XYZ and ABC because their bosses boss really needs to know.

off to ChatGPT to copypasta some barf and massage it into asshole speak.

You're damn right I am going to position every response to be, "buy now, avoid future regret"

It’s a little late for tariffs, we needed them years ago on raw goods before every company started to buy cheaper foreign options.  It’s kinda hard to put the lid back on the can of worms when it’s been open this long.  Also hard to compete with slave labor.

Of course they are.  You should have seen the days before the longshoreman strike.  It's of course been a theoretical discussion point for months.  The emails now are:  

 

***URGENT***  Freida's Boss has a board meeting Tuesday and MUST KNOW all impacts.

Canada should just say, "You win, we've decided to stop sending fentanyl and illegals across the border, well played Mr President."   And then just move on.  100% that would work.
