If Trmp is encouraging Alberta to separate from Canada, shouldn't Carney be courting Minnesota ?

Ha ha only serious ... I'd love to see Carney make an appearance in MN, or open some public conversations with Walz, Klobuchar, Frey, Holder, and talk about how having Canada control MN is "the only thing that makes sense", as Trmp is trying claim about the US (well, him, really) controlling Greenland. Get Al Franken and his team to work on this and bring out the comedy inherent in Trmp's grotesquery !

I can't stand being shackeled to a small group of greedy billionaires and their stupid MAGAmoron goon squad who are systematically destroying our democracy all so they can have 3 yachts. Peak capitalism has reared its ugly head and now they own the government.

Pretty sure Oregon and Washington would jump at the chance, although California might choose to go with Mexico instead.

Watching Burns' documentary, the "patriots" were quoted saying they were fighting to stop tyranny, and that if they lost they would become slaves (projection there?)

Just imagine if the colonists had lost!!! The US might have turned out like Canada! Oh, the horror.

And imagine all the fresh water they'd take to Canada.

I wish they'd do it. Id report immediately with my Wisconsin birth certificate and ask what dotted line I need to sign to be a Canadian citizen.

I can envision Vermont, Maine and Michigan also becoming new Canadian provinces.

All that fresh water belonging to Canada could be appealing.
