What will be the benefits to Canada of becoming the 51st US state ?

"“If Canada merged with the U.S., there would no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social."

""Canadian investor and “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary said Thursday that he wants to help broker a deal with President-elect Donald Trump that would create some sort of “economic union” between the US and Canada – declaring that at least half of his countrymen would support such a merger.

“Think about the power of combining the two economies, erasing the border between Canada and the United States and putting all that resource up to the northern borders where China and Russia are knocking on the door,” O’Leary continued.

“So secure [the northern territories], give a common currency, figure out taxes across the board, get everything trading both ways, create a new, almost EU-like passport – I like this idea and at least half of Canadians are interested,” he asserted.""

For them, they get to share the greatest President in the world.
For us, we get to laugh at the libs who swore they were moving to Canada if Trump took office. 😄

None 🙂

None

They'll be proud to be referred to as " the Uppa U.S.".

No benefit

Why is trump so hung up about wanting that?

It would do Canada no good.

Everything trump touches gets destroyed, I imagine Canada doesn't want that.

Joining countries together for mutual benefit is suddenly a good idea for Trump? But he hates the EU. 🤷 Or is it OK as long as he's the King and his businesses do well out of it?

Not needing a passport for citizens to travel between Canada and the USA. Tourism for both countries likely to increase. Food prices likely will drop dramatically since the tariffs would no longer be a factor.

I can go to Hawaii without a passport 😛

Absolutely none. We Canadians have no interest in your country and especially the nutcase you have voted in. Lets talk again in a few yrs and go through his accomplishments. I think it will be a short chat

Absolutely not. Do we want 40 million more socialists? 🤮

For us clamping down on the boarder,but not sure what benefit they'd receive.

Will Americans finally have healthcare and fairly clean elections?

Nothing. Stop it, Nim. Why don't you become part of it?

For U.S. or for Canada?

We can drill for their oil, mine their minerals and cut their trees for lumber. Why else do you thing Trump wants it?

Cloud computing ends

Canada makes some of the best cars ,

Jesus will look on them more fondly....

None that I can think ABOOT 🤭

I hope this happens. This and Mexico. Take them both.

They will lose their universal health care and gain the pleasure of paying double what they used to pay to allow insurance company death panels to decide their fates!

Maybe some more oil production? More industrial capacity? But Canada really doesn’t have much of anything to gain from joining the US.

Canadians would have to pay for healthcare.

I can only think of detrimental consequences .. does trump want another war with England? Wth?

The USA makes all countries clients or victims.

No more Trudeau and they would be able to own guns again.
