    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.

      California doesn’t fuck about. While a higher gdp than new York’s is still nothing to ignore

          That’s very true. I’m living with a dictator who insists the economy is great because stocks are high. That’s not really how the average persons measure life.
