There are no divine guard rails and Trump is merely a symptom of a diseased country.

I know this is small potatoes compared to everything going on with “WWIII: the Nazis return” but it irks me to no end how on top of trump saying he’s taking Canada and Greenland he’s also says “51st state”
So Canada in its entirety will be 1 state? And I assume all of Greenland will be a 52 state?
Canada is a diverse place with regions and cultures… but lump them all into a single state. Sure. How many electoral college votes does Canada get?
I don’t know much about Greenland but I’m sure the same applies to them.
How is that flag going to look? Actually that last one’s a stupid question it’ll just be trumps face.

Disclaimer I’m not responding as if I think I’m the arbiter of truth it’s just for “fun” thought experiments.
I think their current focus is with Alberta and funding the fringe separatist movement there with the support and rigging of the system traitor Smith and the Wildrose faction of the worst political party merger since the CPC federally. Fuck you, Jason Kenney. Their polling is trending down, but idk we got years of suffering to go to see if NDP can eek out a win with a centrist NDP as it will be under Nenshi. It hinges on Calgary, gods save us all for that’s always a let down historically.
Since Pierre lost that is. Reset the 4 year timer and they’ll try again federally. If they (Republicans, their media empire Carney does nothing about, or their dark money) get Alberta to separate then IMO USA will annex it. 51st state talk is mostly just inflammatory words meant to catch headlines, for now. I mean these are meth head nazis so there’s a lot of winging it and reactionary decisions.
As an aside, fascist parties in U.K., Germany, and France all are polling high as well. Don’t be surprised if all this tough talk bravado from Europe craters into the ground if those dipshits vote Nazi and fracture Europe before we get the chance to fuck our own ass here at home.
Something stinky going on in Quebec too but I’m not very knowledgable about that situation yet.
I think the provinces would just name swap to states instead of province/territory, but that’s not based on anything other than not taking them so literally.
Zero is my bet. Their other auxilery nations like Puerto Rico for example. Except they probably aren’t going to have legitimate elections ever again anyways if they don’t outright just cancel them entirely. They wouldn"t want us voting Democrat.
Well it’s only 58,000 population minus whoever they kill invading theoretically so idk.

Something like theirs perhaps.
