Canada Joins The USA: My Thoughts 🇺🇸🤝🇨🇦

Ontarian here. I'm "Canadians first." I am greatful for the Rights & Freedoms we do have, & I'm passionate about my Canadian roots. I have never considered myself anything but Candian. My family (Dad's side) has been here since the late 1600s (migrated from France). My grandfather fought on Canada's side in WW2.

To be blunt, I'm a proud Canadian, what I'm not proud of is this joke of country it's turned out to be.

That being said, I truly believe Canada is in dire need of drastic improvements. However, I am willing to be convinced that Canada still has hope, & doesn't need to join USA. ❤️

Here’s an insight into my perspective on the 51st State idea. Trump is "Americans first," & if we become a State(s), that means he would put us first too, we won't be second class citizens.

In short, many Canadians support this, or are considering it because Trump isn't a tyrant, or woke, or a leftist.

Believe it or not, this movement has been gaining traction all over North America for years, & now even more so after Trump mentioned it back in December.

We do some things better here in Canada, so it's not like everything sould change. Also, we would still be a Canadian.. just with an American citizenship.

We wouldn't stop acknowledging everything Canada has done, our history/heritage & culter wouldn't disappear. There would most likely be many compromises, & new policies, as there is much to take into consideration. Constructive conversation is key.

If Canada becoming a State, and/or adopting the American Constitution, could bring more pros than cons, it is not 'traitorous,' "anti-canadian," or "un-patriotic" to advocate for said improvements. Compromise, new policies, & a slow integration would most likely be necessary.

There is nothing wrong with discussing the potential pros, cons, & compromises. For example, many Canadians won't be willing to give up universal healthcare, while many Americans will want access to it.

Canada and the U.S. are peaceful allies with the longest undefended border in the world. Offering an idea, even provocatively, isn’t the same as a threat.

Trump's remarks are a political tactic intended to spark conversation, challenge the status quo, gain support, and foster curiosity about what closer ties could mean. It’s about creating momentum for ideas that some Canadians are already supporting/considering.

Discussing potential changes isn’t betraying Canada; it’s exploring solutions to improve life here. Healthy debate helps us weigh the pros, cons, and compromises. Let’s stay open to conversation—there’s value in examining all sides. 🇺🇸🤝🇨🇦
