No, Canada! Why we don’t want the Great Woke North as our 51st State
Imagine you had a woke lunatic living in your attic.
Someone who contributed nothing to the household — beyond barking politically correct slogans — and yet expected full bed and board.
You might hear him or her (or “them”) stomping around late at night, yelling “Trans women are women!” or “Defund the police!”
And the next morning they’d be down with their hand out, expecting breakfast and pocket money.
A nightmare, right? Well, I increasingly think that’s what it would be like if Canada really were to become America’s 51st state.
It would be like having an overgrown teenager skulking around at the top of this mighty republic, draining your resources, causing you embarrassment and poisoning your body politic with PC crap.
We hear a lot about the Canadian resistance to the idea of their leafy nation being strong-armed into a Greater America.
I think we need to hear more resistance from within the US itself — especially from Republicans.
Seriously, guys, this vast 51st state with its 41 million people would be a royal pain in your neck, electorally and economically.
President Trump upped the ante on the Canada question this week.
He said if Canada were to become “our cherished Fifty First State,” then all the tough tariffs he’s imposed on its imports would “totally disappear.”
I enjoy the president’s ribbing of Canada as much as the next person. I had a chuckle when he referred to Justin Trudeau as “Governor Trudeau.” I look forward to him teasing the © New York Post
