Thoughts on Canada as 51st State
|
I know Trump was probably kidding. At least, I hope he was kidding. Nonetheless, I have some thoughts about it.
Canada would never agree to come in as one state. They would want each province to be a state. They have 10 provinces. They would want 10 states. That would be 20 new Senators, and of course Representatives based on population. Canada has a population of 41 million. Congressional districts in the US average 700,000 people. That would be 58 new Congress people. So we would have 20 new Senators, and 58 new Representatives. So how would these new Senators and Representatives align politically? I'm not sure on that, although they are very liberal on abortion. Canada also has a higher minimum wage, free healthcare, they legalized gay marriage 10 years before the US, and they place a greater emphasis on multiculturalism. <I got that off the internet, full disclosure. So, imagine these 20 new Senators and 58 new Representatives, and how they would align politically. I don't think they would be MAGA supporters. I suppose Trump's 25 percent tariffs on Canadian products would go away, if Canada was part of the United States. It would be the ultimate free trade agreement. This "Canada as the 51st state" doesn't sound like a very good idea if you are a MAGA person. In fact, it would seem like a better idea to just have the free trade agreement and not have them be part of the US, so they don't get political power. After all, if they are the 51st state, it's going to be free trade all the way. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today! |
