I look forward to Canada sending 52 reps and 2 senators to D.C. and flip both houses.

Bold of you to assume we would not just be a territory like Puerto Rico.

Yeah. ZERO chance Canada becomes a state, or ten states. We'd be Snowy Puerto Rico.

Well if he intends to make us a territory and not give us voting power, he shouldn't keep calling us a state. States get representation in congress. Words mean things!

You are seriously making this argument with Trump? His words aren’t worth the sharpie they are written with.
