America has not been subsidizing Canada. Canada has been subsidizing the US.
That’s correct. I want an immediate end to Canada selling discounted oil, gas and hydroelectricity to the US.
What is it with Trump and always “being subsidized by us” and “take away from us” while the US has trillions of debt in other countries? 300 billions to my home country alone, which doesn’t even compare to some other countries.
He trusts that his followers don’t, anyway. Based on some arguments I’ve seen online, he’s right about that.
He is incapable of understanding mutual trade and cooperation. To him every human interaction must have a winner and a loser. So if Canada is benefiting from trade with the US in his mind it must be at America’s expense. It’s a disturbingly simple view of trade and cooperation, and one that makes actual good faith discourse with the US near impossible.
Conservatives still claim hes joking about the 51st state of Canada.
Man, the dumbest thing about this nonsense is repeating that Canada will only be one state. It’s already broken into provinces, dickhead, at least make a better offer than two senators.
#1 Ontario being the population of Pennsylvania
#9 New foundland being the population of Wyoming
#10 Prince Edward Island only has 150k, could lump in 150k from northern territories
20 senators for 40m, 5.0E-7 senators per person
200 senators for 340m, 5.88E-7 senators per person
It seems pretty fair
I’d love to have the Canadian conservatives in the USA. It would hopefully calm down the magat zombies we have in office.
What? They eat horse paste just like the ones down south. We have maple maga here that fly confederate flags et al. All that would do is increase their numbers, not make them less fascist.
“increase your military power for free”… what’s the portion of the federal budget that is allocated to defense again ?
