Trump doesn't spend time thinking about the practicalities of something like this, because when he says "51st state" what he means is "The latest expansion of my kingly domain."

He has zero intention of letting newly subjugated Canadians vote. He doesn't even want to let Americans vote. These are the fantasies of an autocrat, not carefully thought out plans.

Everything is bigger in canada

pr does not want to be a state, trust me. they are better off not becoming a state

If Canada was a state, the Republicans would never win the electoral college again. There would never be another Republican president.

And the House of Representatives would be permanently blue.

And even just 2 more senators would be a massive risk for the Republicans too. If each province was a state, it would be game over in the senate as well.

California, Texas, New York, and Canada would all be blue in 2028. There are only so many Floridas and Texas is not guaranteed.

And if the Canadians in Florida and Arizona and Nevada could vote, they may not be as red anymore either.

Canada will never be a state. But it would certainly kill the US Republican Party if it did.

Keeping it a single state means fewer senators. Not that Canada is like a communist haven or anything, but they're FAR from our MAGA bullshit and they don't wanna dilute the power they've accumulated in that chamber of congress.

Also, Canada would be the 3rd or 4th highest GDP in the US if it became a single state. California and Texas have it solidly beat. NY is neck and neck with Canada.

Making it 4-5 states would hand the Dems the senate. They want another Puerto Rico with no real representation.

All mainstream media does is give publicity to Chump

Why not? Let people know he said that.

Not reporting on it before Trump is how people thought it started with Trump.

Like that traitor Gretzky.

That’s wild to hear. I always thought of hockey as a sport of diplomacy. It’s heart breaking to hear the ethical hockey players are choosing a more aggressive approach to politics. The “might makes right” viewpoint.

It you are playing hockey the goal is finding a solution not just hurting people until you win.

Very disappointing.

Satire.

The obvious solution would be to not let American players in the league if this was a problem.

The single most important purity test is Trump. Abraham Lincoln, Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Mr Rogers, and uhh Eleanor Roosevelt would instantly become terrible people if they shook Trump's hand, regardless of anything else they did or accomplished in life. That's how it works. It's like King Midas kinda.

On the president?

I seem to remember seeing posts online where people claiming to be ex-military claim to have given Bill Clinton a "stink palm" where one runs their hand up their ass crack before shaking someone's hand.

If Buffalo wins it, would that count?

It may be worth it if you had a chance to say 'how tiny' as you clasped his hand. Though representing the NHL not like they could do that, or most people in his insulated environment.

As a European, I disagree hard on this. Sports is mostly about community, local clubs and entertainment for the 9-5 worker. To have something that takes away the thoughts of the housing loan, ensurance bills, health, kids, job, etc.

Lol.

I was disappointed in Jared Keeso trying to sanitize Gretzky in the last season of Shoresy. Either he wrote and filmed that season far in advance or he's completely tone deaf to CDN hockey fans.
