Why would Republicans support this? If Canada was a US state, Republicans would never win a presidential election. The pop of Canada is larger than California. Moreover, Canada is pro-immigration, universal healthcare and pro-abortion, pro-lbgt, all the things republicans claim to hate!
@Jokersswild and how do you think Republicans feel about all that on their border? As surely as Canada wishes they could stop all the guns at the border, Republicans also feel the heat. Adding to the American population by 15% with pinkos might be a good way to get them under control! But supposing Canada didn't become the 51st state, but became states 51 through 63! How would that change American politics?
@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP The Republican Party would likely cease to exist. They would likely be absorbed by more moderate factions, the likes of Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.
Isn't Canada still in the Commonwealth of Nations? Their polical system is also a bit different from ours, so I believe.
