Here's an idea. Instead Canada becoming the 51st state, how about Michigan becoming the 11th province

Most of us already speak pretty fluent Canadian. I drink Labatt Blue and can really go to town on some poutine. Don't even get me started on how much I love Tim Horton's coffee. I even know the words to 'Oh Canada'. No doubt I'm not alone.

But you're right-- Michigan sure looks like it could be part of Ontario, with just a river in between.
How are you about hockey?

They're more purple than red, especially Michigan. That's why they're called swing states.

If Trump were to annex Canada, the U.S. would have 60 states. As your OP states, Canada has 10 provinces so once again, Trump blatantly demonstrates his stupidity because Canada is a hell of a lot bigger than Alaska or Texas.

Since Canada has its own issues with the Quebecois, Trump clearly has no idea whatsoever about the internal politics of this fine country.

Trump is an idiot.

Unmarried female, no human children, cat mom, veteran and sexual abuse survivor. I'm willing to make that sacrifice.

Along with confiscating Greenland and renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Next he will be insisting on renaming the nation 'Trumpzelvania' and put golf clubs and McDonald arches on the flag.

OK, perhaps my anxiety is causing my imagination to run wild.

Love Poutine, hockey and of course Tim’s cuppa. O Canada we sing before all the hockey games, Corner Gas is still my favorite tv sitcom. Lived in Guelph, Ont. for a summer, just because.
Gotta go for a different brew, tho..Alexander Keith's is my favorite beer, friends from Nova Scotia shared that’s how found out about it.

Let’s go!
