Including Christian groups. It's also the same thing they skewered Tulsi Gabbard over in the press.

President Donald Trump will declare a national emergency on electricity in the United States and double the tariffs on aluminum and steel from Canada after retaliatory tariffs from America's neighbor to the north. The president, in a lengthy post on his Truth Social account on Tuesday, also threatened to 'permanently shut down' the Canadian auto sector. The only thing to make his tariffs stop is for Canada to become the 51st state, he noted.

Big Grin to the 51st state. Keep poking!

Canada the 51st state? How many electoral votes?

I suspect that would make the US a blue country.



Serious about crackers.

Glad to hear this! What they did in 2018 was pretty low-down and shameful, it's good they aren't playing games this time around:

The Philadelphia Eagles “enthusiastically accepted” an invitation to visit the White House following their Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs, a White House official said Monday. An Eagles spokesperson confirmed the invitation and said the team is working with the White House on scheduling a date and logistics.

We DO NOT want Canada as a State - they're second only to France in how socialist they are

I'm all for the tariffs - the opening salvo in negotiating

I expect the Canadians will now be hoarding beer and bacon

They'll get over it

and this is the last week for the Bongino report

Canadians taking seriously this 51st state stuff is damn silly, and so is their getting angry and defiant about it. Yip yip, little doggie.

There is not a rational person who takes this stuff seriously.

Canada is a sovereign nation. They know it and we know it

This little culture clash between the Canadiens and the U.S. is getting some interesting twists. During the Four Nations Tourney (NHL) the Canadiens booed our national anthem loudly. This apparently really pissed off Brady Tkachuk who plays for the Ottawa Senators but is from Arizona. So much so he kicked a Canadians players ass shortly after puck drop and now there are rumblings he wants to get traded back to the U.S. He just happens to be their best player and they certainly do not want to lose him.

I just hung up on my 87 year old mother who is all bent out of shape over Trump and Musk, lives on CNN and whatever else they have in Canada and calls me up to vent.

I've never ever hung up on her before but she really pissed me off even after I told her I don't care. I can't control it, I don';t know what bullshit she's being fed by the media but I told her that we the people don't want Canada as a State. But she's been convinced that Trump is doing what he can so he can buy Canada or some such nonsense.

I'm not even returning her text messages

I've had it with the political bullshit.

If we could buy Canada, it would be pennies on the dollar. The Dims would be happy, as more Commie Leftists as voters. Maybe we could buy sections of Canada, where more Conservatives live.

Make Alberta America
By Bruce Pardy

For weeks, President Donald Trump has said that Canada should be America’s 51st state. He has mocked Canada’s economic dependence on the United States. He has condemned Canadian tariffs and trade restrictions. He has scolded Canada’s free riding on American defense. He has knocked Canada’s porous borders and drug dens. He has accused Canada of colluding with hostile foreign powers and global institutions. He has trolled our prime minister.

It’s delightful. Many Canadians are enjoying the show.

Up here in the cold white north, Trump has set the cat among the pigeons. Canada’s chattering classes are wringing their hands and gnashing their teeth. He has challenged their sense of entitlement. He has exposed their patriotism of convenience and knee-jerk anti-Americanism. He has exposed their haughty righteousness. He has identified rot that Canadian leaders refuse to acknowledge.

Here is some friendly advice for the president. The 51st state will not be Canada. The Canadian political establishment, largely centered in Ontario and Quebec, will fight it tooth and nail. Their vested interests depend upon the existing federal order of things. Big fish in small ponds will steadfastly refuse to abandon the pond. Canada will not join the United States as a single unit.

But the country’s provinces are a different matter. Some parts of Canada might be persuaded, one or two at a time, to come stateside. If there is to be a 51st state from north of the border, the best bet is Alberta. Even better would be to adopt two provinces, Alberta and Newfoundland, to start.

Canada has always been an unlikely country. It looks huge on the map, but most of its people live in a ribbon from east to west, close to the U.S. border. Canada is a layer of icing on the American cake. Trade and traffic travel primarily north-south across the border, not east-west within the country. Canada has long had tariff-like trade restrictions even between its own provinces.

The country is a collection of regions in permanent conflict. Some have legitimate and longstanding grievances. The strongest, wealthiest, and most aggrieved of these is Alberta.

The quest for liberty is America’s origin story. Its revolution against the British king lies deep in America’s cultural DNA. Canada does not share that foundation. In fact, the Canadian story is the mirror opposite. When the Americans rose up, the Canadians resolved to remain loyal to the king. If you like, Canada’s raison d’être is to oppose the American spirit. But Canada also depends on the United States for its security and fortunes. The result is a fragile national psyche. America’s best friend and ally is also its shrillest critic.

So it is understandable why politicians in Canada — even in Alberta — have decided, at least for the time being, that their political fortunes depend upon rejecting Trump’s solicitations. Instead, they have elected to wrap themselves in the Canadian flag.

Albertans, or at least a good number of them, disagree. Some want to become an independent country. A nascent movement to leave Canada has been bubbling in Alberta for a long time. They could start from scratch to draft a constitutional order that would preserve their liberty for the foreseeable future. They could even use the American constitution (not the Canadian one) as a model on which to improve. But many of these Albertans are interested in the potential of joining the United States, too.

Two weeks ago, I published a declaration of independence for Alberta. There is nothing official about it. I’m not even from Alberta; I’m an Ontario boy. Who am I to draft an Alberta Declaration of Independence? The answer is, I’m Canadian, and my compromised, complacent country needs shaking up. If Alberta and other parts of this huge country resolved to separate from Canada, who could blame them? I believe that Alberta would be better off on its own, or as part of the United States.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
