I have seen many baseball caps stating Canada is not for sale.   I heard that expression many times during the last election - but I never heard a source for who said they are offering to buy Canada, and at what price?     Since last April has anyone heard the source of this 'offer' and the price offered?.   I did hear the Orange one saying he wanted Canada to be the 51st state, but never heard him say he wanted to buy Canada .     Where is the text of this 'offer' to which so many are responding 'Canada is not for sale' ? If such an offer does not exist - why did the media whip up such a frenzy about it?  what is behind that eh?

Interesting to discover what the average Canadian's reaction be if the offer were $1 million USD each ? 

Another question relating to the Orange man's opinion that Canada should become the 51st State is,  why have I not heard a single Media Talking Head asking  "Why just the 51st? why not States 51 to 63 "?   That would make more sense eh?  All the provinces requiring equalization payments could now have their pogey money source spread over the other 50 states thus giving all the "have provinces"  pause to think how much richer they would be. Hmmm.

You haben't heard that one because Canadians don't want that and Americans would shit bricks to hear of it.
One state that's bigger than all the others put together is a stupid suggestion but sellable to the dimwits that elected the dork.

Canada may not be "for sale" politically, but it has most certainly been for sale economically from the very beginning...no baseball caps required.

Political annexation by the Americans is not a new idea, having been proposed many times for leverage against the British and other pressing concerns at the time.

President Trump is America's "Troll in Chief", and he knows how to stir the pot for media attention, even in Canada.  Others are learning Trump's game (e.g. Ontario's Doug Ford, California's Gavin Newsom). 

Besides, the 51st state would probably be Puerto Rico.

Greetings and salutations...hope you and all the crew here are alive and well.  

This baseball cap thing makes a statement in a very Trumpian way...

Welcome back, I thought you died. 
 

It wouldn’t be advantageous for America to annex most of Canada. The only part worth annexing is Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Just took a break because the Donald Trump hysteria was nuts during the run up to the 2024 election.   Now that the world did not end, things are a bit calmer now.

I agree that certain parts of Canada currently are and would continue to be advantageous to the U.S. compared to others.    As in the past, necessity will drive any such relationships for practical, not political reasons.

The way I see it as a biased, bastard American is that Canada needs and wants to get its own house in order...be "Canada strong" (not just "Ontario strong") going forward to be in the best position to survive yet another dust up with the United States.

Trump has done Canada a huge favour if it takes the opportunity to come out better on the other side.

Yes, it really is.   Not only has Trump returned with a vengeance as #47, but JT and the Sunshine Band are gone just a quickly.   

Hope all is well for you and the Great Blue Herons.

Thanks...looks like most of the crew is still here and doing well.

Ok...now that you've all hugged it out...is Canada for sale?

IMO...Canada has already been "leased". 90% or more of our business interests are owned or financed by US interests. We call Enbridge Canadian...but it's not. Most of our corporate business is in the same position. 

So...does Trump really want to make Canada a US state? Or is he playing political games?

We've seen that the carney is perfectly willing to go along with anything Trump wants. For him, the creation of national sentiment and for the carney, the creation of "Elbows Up", worked wonderfully to Trump's advantage.

Should this theory be true, and it certainly does now appear to be completely plausible, it means that the Canadian electorate has been had more than anyone had previously figured.

We're all good thanks.

According to local legends the great blue heron taught people to stand and have self-confidence they're expert fishers, patient and balanced.

They would have made a good national bird.

But the libs are selling us out anyways.

If Trump wants to give me a fair price for Canada, then i have no problem with selling off Canada to Trump and America. The 51st state sounds great to me. No more borders and i will be able to use American money that is worth something unlike the Canadian peso that i am using today. Works for me!!
