Well I’m talked out about this, so what I said to other people: I really don’t think you can not give 41 million people the vote. Even trump when he says 51 state implies that it’s a merger, to use that word.

The only way to do this without becoming THE international pariah on the likes of North Korea is to do it peacefully.

If there is an invasion that comes to blows, the US will become person non grata on the international stage. Everyone will boycott everything from the US and to do with US. This is where you say but but but iraq, and that’s where I say that was different. If the US invades an ally, its finished internationally. I know it’s all rah rah USA number 1 but you need international support/trade/commerce/cooperation. It’s not that people care that much about Canada, it’s that no one will ever want to do or find the need to do business with the US again when there is no trust. They would have just showed that there is no such thing as cooperation with the US. It will be down to Russia and NK (and China will sell things, but China basically thinks they are above having friends/allies). So it you think a right wing authoritarian government is not stupid, they wouldn’t do it, except “peacefully”.

Meanwhile at ICE, Vitello told agents in January to aim to meet a daily quota of 1,200-1,400 arrests. According to numbers ICE has posted on X, the highest single day total since Trump was inaugurated was just 1,100, and the number has fallen since that day. On Tuesday of this week, arrests of immigrants were over 800, according to a source familiar with the numbers. But last weekend, there were only about 300 arrests, another source told NBC News.

And, as NBC News has reported, arrests do not always equal immediate detentions, much less deportations. Of the more than 8,000 immigrants arrested in the first two weeks of the Trump administration, 461 were released, according to the White House.

I still chuckle at the user that told me deportation was not Trump’s point.

Peanuts!

I’m saying they don’t just “follow” if ordered. Fascism comes about because people want to do it. They want to give their power and support to the leader. They implement what the direction is without being given an order.

blows my mind how so many republicans are helping him

I never understood fascism until Trump came in. It works not because he gives orders, but because others *want to give him the power.

Since you seem to be taking this seriously, the only way to do this without becoming THE international pariah on the likes of North Korea is to do it peacefully.

Administratively it wouldn’t be one state, it would be 10 states because of the 10 provinces. You have 10 provincial governments that run pretty much the same as state governments. If you didn’t do that you’d have “state” level for the country, and then a second State level for the province, before you get into counties and lower. Canada can not run as one state, as states are set up.

How much was the election won by? Pretty sure it was less than 41 million.

Well a lot of what he does is distraction. But yeah I think he wants Canada (even though it would shift things left, which he hasn’t thought about and likely won’t acknowledge) and Greenland, cuz big land.

You should watch Perun’s “All bling, no basics”. Maintaining a nuclear arsenal is expensive.

Um it’s still NATO. It’s just under their command.

He thinks this is his way into the history books. He thinks like Putin and other dictators that just look at land size and wants bigger (remember when he said Trump tower was now the tallest after 9/11?)

So, lots of cuts?

100k eggs about to go bad.

You’d have to try to sell to stores and restaurant chains. I’m guestimating that’s 28 pallets of eggs. Googling says 8640 eggs per pallet, so 11.5 pallets.
