🇨🇦Sixteen reasons why the U.S. should become Canada's 11th province:🇨🇦


• Because Canada isn’t led by a convicted felon.

• Because the only thing in maple syrup is maple syrup, as opposed to high-fructose corn syrup, water, cellulose gum, salt, caramel colour, sorbic acid, sodium benzoate, sodium citrate and artificial flavours, which Americans call “pancake syrup” — although in a pinch it can be used as transmission fluid.

• Because the scandal-ridden U.S. Supreme Court has members on it who appear to be uniquely unqualified to judge conflicts-of-interest, women’s rights or ethical conduct. According to most recent polls, the court’s reputation has sunk to historical lows, with a majority of Americans unhappy with its performance. Meanwhile, the only thing scandalous about Canada’s Supreme Court is … wait, what? Canada has a Supreme Court?

• Because Saturday Night Live has never been, or ever will be, as funny as SCTV or Kids In The Hall.

Canada can provide all Floridians healthcare, and deport Trump and his despicable clan.

Corner Gas, one of the funniest Canadian sitcoms of all time! Or let’s just say “sitcoms” of all time, Canadian or otherwise.

Those are the low wage workers he values most as his workers. That's why he came to TX.

All ten of Canada's provinces become individual states within the U.S. All of these provinces would most certainly become blue states, thereby ensuring Democratic domination over the House, Senate and White House for ages to come. Trump's head would explode.
