3:15 A terrorist slips through the border and goes on mass shooting spree in an orphanage. Canada knew about the plot and due to some legal loophole didn't inform the US. Mass outrage at the Canadian government from both sides of the border and a catastrophic trade war causes independence referendums all over the country. They try make it on the own for a while before being folded into the US one by one.
What if Western Canada and Greenland were Purchased/annexed through referendum and became US states, and Puerto Rico became a State? and what if the US Stabilizes our southern neighbors? #MakeAmericaManifestDestinyAgain.
I don't think Mexico would join? would take the options to go to the brics and then all south america will follow either way, we don't like wetbags illegal that's how we treat them. That's how they're gonna treat us. And then we will see, if we come, the the superpower, some of the other countries turns out the bags on us. I think that's what is happening now. But we still don't realize it
Gotta unify North America first then go through Central America to get to the South. Then we'll finally have the True United States of America, with 3 official languages. English, Spanish, and French (Quebecois, Haitian Creole, Louisiana Creole)
@@javierduenasjimenez7930I’m assuming you mean north and South America in which case you would right with first speakers of Portuguese but not with second language the difference is about 40-80million in favor of the french
To your point canada is a failing country it has barely more people tha. Canada despite so many people living all around i. Usa they never flee to canada really so they go from canada to usa usually and for that reason canada struggles they have shortage of people for key jobs they will say better healthcare being free but then the doctor fled to usa to get paid more so you actually realise a free doctor is no doctor up there 😂
The reason why it won’t happen is because Canada continues to grow further and further left and become a liberal shit hole….. I feel bad for the people who are stuck there but I don’t want to make an air problem my problem by integrating them and then having them try to destroy my country too
You mean that the minority maple maga could just hop into their pickup truck and when they reached the border take down the Canadian flag and put on the American.

Win / win. Americans could say, "eh," at the end of every other sentence without being accused of cultural appropriation, and Canadians would finally have the 2nd Amendment.
One group of Canadians are already defacto American citizens. All First Nations people and Inuit may live and work in the USA as if they were citizens, a consequence of the Jay Treaty of 1795. The United States could unilaterally extend this right to all Canadian citizens without annexing any part of the country. Any Canadian who wanted to be an American could just move here any time they want and stay as long as they want without filling out immigration papers, like First Nations and Inuit people already can.
@@thanakonpraepanich4284 All First Nations people in Canada are covered by the Jay Treaty. The United States even expanded the interpretation of the treaty to include Canada's Inuit (Eskimo) population that Canada doesn't consider to be First Nations, but the USA defines as "Americans of the Indian race."
@@TheAnnoyingBossLatin America don't want it and would never want it 😂 and Canada doesn't matter, it's another Anglophile country and with political sympathies for the usa

As a Canadian, i think Canada and the US will merge before the century is out, probably not anytime soon though. NAFTA was the beginning of the integration.
As an American, I agree. The next step is probably a system like the EU but just between us. Who knows? Maybe I can find a job in Quebec and actually use my French as I've always wanted to.
"many Canadians were offended" huh? there's an overwhelming number of Canadians that are going LET'S FOOOOKIN GOOOO about being the 51st state. who were offended? the politicians that's screwed up their country already?
Our government would be surprised to know how many Canadians like myself would want to integrate... I'm surprised Canada was at least not a sovereign state/territory a long time ago. There's been many many reasons why Canadians always wanted to become Americans for generations. But, honestly, if Canada did become part of the United-States, easily half of the population would move to warmer weather within a week. Canada would then mainly be only land continuing extracting resources and energy. Please Americans, let us become Americans! At least us that do want to become American because honestly, for us being literally neighboring countries sharing most of our interests, ways of life, products and entertainment we consume and enjoy, it is far too difficult to apply for an American citizenship compared to Americans that move to Canada.
14:26 This does not take into account that the 2030 Census is currently projected to net the GOP 12 seats/EV’s while costing the Dems 12, for a swing of 24.
Yeah, CA, IL, & NY all decreased in population in the last census but Electoral Votes were not lowered for 2024. I wonder why? The next Admin won't let that slip by them, so 2028 will reflect correctly. TX, FL, & GA will all be picking up EVs. Also, some of his swing states states he showed aren't really swing states, too so his math is wrong favoring democrats.
That would encourage the democrats to push for annexation since it would be the only way they maintain viability on the national stage. With the way states like New Jersey and Vermont are swinging right now, republicans may solidify their control over national level politics in a way that hasn’t been seen since after 1865
As a Canadian I would support joining the U.S and there's lots that would support it here in Canada. The argument Canada would be all democratic is false. We have lots of Conservative people up here who would love to finally have 1st and 2nd Amendment rights which we don't currently.
I'm American and would love for you guys to join us. Maybe you could teach us a thing or too about social benefits and we could finally have the money and power to fund them. And the economic might and military power of both countries would ensure we could get what we want on the world stage. And, culturally we are the same, even the French speakers. Yeah, Canada is more liberal, but I think it would balance out with free migration of citizens. And, I don't think it would be right to make Canadians "Americans" but rather we both become citizens of a new name so we can keep our pride. Honestly, it would make sense for all of the former UK colonies to join together as a loose country with somewhat independent governments. But imagine the benefits of free trade, combined military, and free migration from place to place
Well, how did the early Americans create the first and second amendments for themselves? That option is available to all people. All you have to do is exercise them.
Western Canada is mostly conservative and open to joining America. That includes 13 M well educated conservatives and 70% of Canada's natural resources
It may be unrealistic that Canada votes to join the US, but the Republicans cant deny the Canadians, thatd be unconstitutional. We are bound by law to accept Canada once they want to join us. Edit: I am fine with being wrong sometimes I was misinformed. We have Article XI of the Article of Confederation which would allow Canadas entry within the United States at any point their territories want to join. But we are not bound by law to take them.
@larrydale5733 I looked further into it, it's not a law I was misinformed . However, article 9 of the confederation does state they could join at any time
It would be the state of Moose. But seriously this wouldn't work unless the Canadians supported it and they wouldn't. But it is a strange way that could happen. Here is my more realistic scenario. Quebec decides to pull out of Canada when Trudeau is still able to hold onto power. There is a massive fight when Trudeau tries to get the military to crush Quebec. Liberals rise and try to fight with Trudeau but all they do is cause chaos. Canada collapses and begs for help. After a narrow vote, any part of Canada that has an eight-percent majority vote to join is allowed into the Union. Overwhelmingly, the Canadians vote for order over chaos. Note: This is still an alternate reality, but that is the only path I see.
A bunch of Canadians told me and my brothers and dad in person here in Idaho they want to join America and they hope it happens or that we invade them they joke.
Let me guess they were from prairie provinces. I mean their opinion is still valid. But it’s like saying the option of someone from North Dakota is the general feeling of Americans.
It makes more sense for Western provinces/territories to join than the East. British Columbia shares more with Washington state than Quebec and ontario.
As a Canadian, I was in no way offended by the presidential elect's comments. What we need more than ever is unity in North America. Whatever shape that takes, we are stronger together. Let's bring Mexico into the fold as well!
Canada is a resource gold mine in the world, third largest oil reserves, an abundance of natural gas, biggest pot mines in the world. The second largest uranium mine in the world with the best uranium in the world. Lumber coal, nickel, gold diamonds you name it Canada has it in abundance. Plus, a huge portion of the population would be happy to be American, including me.
Quebec almost joined the US into their revolt against the British and could have became a state or an allied nation in 1774, But with the sheer manpower of the british army against the patriots revolt got crushed during a winter snow storm at Saint-Eustache. So we remained alligned with the loyalist who adopted ''Canada'' as their country as well. I never forgot as a Quebecois the 3 letters and 2 attempts by the Americans to drive back the British army from our nation, in fact we may not speak english as a primary language, but we have more in commons with the Americans than the Loyalist Canadians who wanted to remain a vassal colony of the British Empire who later collapsed. Our retirements investments are mostly into the US stock exchange, half of our daily products are from the US and we use the same platforms to communicate.... I always wondered why Canadians prefer to remain a loyal colonny to the Brits rather than seek close relations and unify with the US.
If Canada joins the Union peacefully I'm going to celebrate June 3'rd like Christmas, Thanksgiving and the 4'th of July combined into one glorious holiday. God bless America and God bless the Enclave
As a Canadian I’d actually prefer this compared to independence, I want better economic opportunities in the states then where I’m at now in New Brunswick, I have a very poor sense of national identity and I don’t see much point independence, although I will say 1 single point is laughably minuscule 14:01
I’m an American, you still feel like that even in a state with more people because of first past the post; many American voters vote blue in locked red states or red in locked blue states, and are not heard.
there are alot of economic opportunities in Canada... move away from New Brunswick and find them. If USA took over... would economic opportunities greaten where you are? ... not bloody likely.
Theyd stand to gain a lot from it most countries on earth dont have that kind of deal infront of them i mean really theyre fucked no one want to live next to russia or africa 😂 south america has a huge jungle and rainforrest area so its just not as adequate for a large civilization. Africas rivers dont flow as prosperously despite being bigger it gas a desert the size of usa lower 48 so its hard to be prosperous there they dont pave the road amd usa and canada pave the roads

Benefit Canada? How? Americans literally have it worse and have the same life expectancy as people in third world countries. They have to beg on the internet to get money for healthcare, alot have to work two jobs just to get by, and go bankrupt the instant they need a little bit of healthcare anyway.
Merging the United States with Canada would be wonderful. The combination of the natural resources in Canada witht the industrial base in the US that can can make good use of those resources you will have a combined country that is unbeatable in every respect. This is yet another great idea coming from Donald Trump.
More likely, individual provinces such as Alberta break off and become independent and negotiate favorable trade agreements with the U.S. while they escape from the Ottawa government which, rather than being seen as oppressive, is simply exploitive, similar to a colonial relationship.
Absorb Canada but lose Quebec. They should be independent. They would only slow us down.

Fine, we won't have to pay 70 billions per year in federal taxes in such a scenario, with Alberta crying that we receive a fraction of our own money and don't straight up lose 70 billions to the rest of the country every year.
I have a theory that if Canada were to experience a severe economic depression, it could result in a large number of freeloaders leaving the country, potentially reducing the population by five to ten million people. The majority of those leaving would likely be old stock Canadians, who are fourth generation or more, and tend to lean heavily towards the side of freedom. This exodus would not make America more liberal, but rather more conservative and freedom-loving. It could even lead to the ratification of the American Constitution in place of the Canadian Charter of Rights, especially in light of the way Justin Trudeau handled the situation with the truckers. Additionally, they would be stuck with a socialist debt that the left has left them with, making it easier to spread it across 400 million people. Moreover, Canada would be a strategic asset to have access to resources.
Canada is not a fully congealed Country like most. Basically they are just several provinces that have agreed to work together. If Tooty Trudy continues , some might just join the U.S. anyway, and leave Trudeau behind.
Alberta resident here. Western Canada should become states, linking Alaska by land. Quebec should become its own country. After ten years of the trudeau clown I want out of this circus.
@@finiavanamandresy5460speaking as an American, I believe in the sovereignty of the Canadian people, and then the sovereignty of their Nation. Cooperation between peoples and countries is best I know no American that would say that joining Canada to the United States would happen Not because that it's bad but because Canada is sovereign! And that it would have to be with a majority of its people! It also would have to be approved by a majority of the American people!
Justin gets re-elected and half of Canada breaks away to form Western Canada. Western Canada is unable to join the USMCA/NAFTA2 and realizes their only option for lifting up their people is to join the US as a territory on the pathway to statehood.
This option is far more likely than people think, especially with equalization payments being nothing more than a bribe that the west pays to keep Quebec in the federation.
America would love to have Western Canada join us. I almost felt like grabbing my gun and heading up to help you guys when the Monarchy sent their RCMP to take down your border crossing and arrest you guys. Americans donated ten million dollars to the trucker protests through crowd funding, and it was stolen by the Canadian government. The monarchy also hacked our crowdfunding websites and disabled them. Since Biden was the president and he;s a wimp, he never said anything about it.
I used to be a Canadian Nationalist. After 8 years of Justine Castreau and her Merry Men? Union with America can't happen soon enough or fast enough.. which is not to deny you guys need one Hell of a housecleaning
Not much would change. The US economy is 13 times larger than Canada’s. And that gap grows wider every year. If Canada was a state it would be the poorest, behind even Mississippi. Canada already exports almost all of its raw resources to America So Canada joining the US would only have the effect of marginally increasing America’s economic power by about 7%. Taking US GDP in 2024 from the current $29.3 Trillion to $31.5 Trillion with Canada included But Canada has insanely high cost of living relative to incomes and very low fertility rates. Canada’s GDP growth is quite bad, GDP Per Capita has been negative to 6 straight quarters and productivity growth has been nearly 0 for the past few years So Canada would really only be a burden to the US and would probably slow down America’s booming economic growth and productivity growth
Canada had larger potential than Mississippi. Canada has so much natural resources, if America was 75 percent as efficient as they are in the south, Canada will surpass New York in no time
I don't think that Quebec might want to remain a US territory since they basically won't have the same representation and rights as a US state would. Instead, I think it might become a state just like the other 9 former Canadian provinces after the hypothetical US annexation of Canada. Same goes for the 3 northern Canadian territories, which I think they might be merged into 1 big US state.
The territories would have to merge into another state. No states below 500k/lowest population state currently. If you don't have at minimum 500k, no statehood you have to join one of the other states. As for ontario break it up, no letting that behemoth blue state into union, cut off the conservatives of it and form a second state, or if needs be add them to the swing state to form a solid conservative state to help balance it. Without doing this the only way the east could join usa would be under a democrat, Republicans would push for western states to join union, but never the eastern ones of canada.
I think wed be smart to make canada many new states because itll result in a little political instability short term but the benefits make it worth it. If we draw the lines right people will get representation.
Quebec citizens wont vote to join US if the rest of Canada do vote to join US. 1/3 of Quebec already want to create their own country and there is new people joining this cause everyday. It's crazy here lol
Not my family, not my friends. Cowards, criminals, warlords, and psychos. I have nothing positive to say about America. All because you can't arrest one fat tub of lard
2:41 Canada has never been independent. Canadians are subjects, not citizens. They're subjects of the British crown and only became autonomous in the 1980s.
Take a national Canadian poll. See how it goes. If it's a go, let's do it-not Mexico. We don't need the headaches we'd be getting until they can control their cartel problems.
but if we are to get a referendum me and all of those around me are voting yes... and especially considering how big canada's immigrant population is and how crazy Canada is about multi culturalism, I seriously doubt there is so called 'canadian nationalism'
Canada will only accept integration, if they can keep their healthcare. Call it The North American Healthcare Cooperative. By combining all Canadian networks into this.
Our government has to stop sending our military all over the planet disband the 200 military bases and then the federal government has the money to actually yes provide free health care or at least allow states to provide there own free health care to it's populations.
Conquest through economic greatness instead of a hostile takeover would cement the USA as the nation we claim to be. If we make the USA as great as it possibly can be, they'll want to adopt our ways (whilst maintaining their own national identity) and we will blend over time, until we can't tell the difference. That's as American as i can get when it comes to western values and philosophies. Our ideology and accomplishments already make us the shining beacon of freedom for the world. When we clean house and show our glow up. Others will follow suit. We won't be doing it for them. It will fall in the favor of the USA as the beating heart of it all.
It's not "if" but "when" Canada becomes a part of the United States AND Trump gets added to Mt. Rushmore. I've known since 2020 that both of these events would eventually happen.
They done did a trade scheme and accept billions in federal money. They keep that up, they are technically signaling they want statehood. Canada should be proud of its nationhood and seek to stand on its own, non reliant on American tax dollars.

@@JRM92B What are you trying to say in this sentence; "And America can afford to stop depending our resources? Double standard" ?? I don't understand what you are trying to say... Peace n Love.
@@WodenNavalny For example, when the cost of wood will rise by 25%, do you think America will stop buying from Canada and cut their own forest? Do you think they can provide? When the demand exceed the local production you have to buy elsewhere, and people building houses will face the reality of Trump's tariffs. Trump make us look like we're parasites for Americans, but we benefits from your side just and you benefits from our. He says there's a 100B$ gap between what we buy vs what we sell to America. What does he expect from a country that have roughly 1/10th of their population? Trump act like he could better run the country without trading with Canada.
Our Canadian dollar just went below 70 cents against the USD. So if they do go through with this in some way, it would genuinely benefit all Canadians as our dollar sucks. The USD would be a blessing for all Canadians.
Having a weak CAD is actually helpful for our exports. If Trumpy-boy wants to hurt Canada, he should make the CAD stronger. From down south, a 25 pct tariff means Canadian exports cost 88 cents instead of 70. Still relatively cheap. The CAD would have been in parity with and sometimes stronger compared the USD in 2007. I remember Canadian exporters being really nervous then.
Canada should totally join the USA! WE'D BECOME THE MOST RICHEST AND MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!! IF CANADA DOESN'T JOIN, IT WILL TAKE MANY GENERATIONS FOR US TO GET OUT OF POVERTY!
You guys are too concentrated on sensationalist news. Things are going pretty well in Canada on the most part. We’re not going to collapse that’s funny! Trump rolled back the tarifs in 2018 because it was making him look bad in the US with large corporations. He was cutting into their profits with no actual benefit for americans. Everything started costing more and it was noticeable to americans. He was forced to pull back. This time around it’s posturing again. Putting tarifs on Canadian goods is like cutting off your own arm.. when folks notice that ford f150 jumps from 60k to 80k. He’s find an excuse to remove the tariffs like the last time. There’s no trade deficit, that’s made up. Sometimes it’s the us that buys less, sometimes it’s Canada. It’s pretty much equal. Also. Canada has 10times les people. Thus Canadians buy a lot more per house from the US than americans do. We are the US largest customer. canada is the primary destination for export for 30 states. Putting tarifs is just plain stupid. That’s why the Canadians are not panicking as much as the us media likes to portray it.
funny... Americans are losing rights via Trump... and he isn't even in yet. Imagine, a pollster being sued by Trump... because he did not agree with what she said. That is called fascism my friends.
Only problem is.. canadians aren’t as political as Americans.. and we’re not as woke as the media makes us.. I’m scared all the really radical left actaully move to canada and destroy the country( state)..
I have not yet met one Canadian who was offended by what Trump said, i am sure there are some knuckle heads out there who would be offended, but not one, in fact every one of the ones i encountered said they would welcome Canada joining the USA!
We are not offended by his "joke" but we are offended that donald said governor Trudeau ... he is not our leader but trump could be and we would love it and to become apart of the greatest nation in the world. Most all Canadian s hate the current state of Canada with horrible gun laws getting worse and paying taxes for scams like arivecan and false emergency act against truckers and a million other things
If anything like this happened, it is thought a more realistic scenario is that each Canadian province would become its own state, rather than Canada as a whole being one state, so this would mean around 13 more states.
Doesn't make sense. Canada's head of State is the King of the United Kingdom Charles III and they have a Governor-General. This doesn't make sense the Prime Minister can't just announce "Oh we are joining the United States."
Yes, but exactly what could the UK actually do about it? Maybe we should anex them too. Think about it, we beat them twice when they were at their strongest militarily over 200 years ago and if not for the US they would be speaking German today. I say if Canada or province of Canada want to join the US I'm OK with that and I'm from texas. In texas there is a strong movement for independence which I'm OK with too.
King Charles surrendered to President Trump in 2017 during his first world tour. The English crown no longer has control of the UK or Canada, making Canada able to join the US.
Canadians would despise this. And an annexation occurring so swiftly under an unwilling populace is quite possibly the worst kind of move you can make as a leader on both ends. 1:29 you mention it being supported among party lines but I feel the exact opposite would transpire. Republicans & Democrats wouldn't want an ungodly massive population increase to occur in the tens of millions, including Canada's very large immigrant population. Repubs especially, considering the more left-leaning stance Canadians tend to have politically, and Democrats likely perceiving it as imperialist. The E.U even has currency integration yet federalism remains a far-off dream, this is even more so. If Canada ever joins the union, it will be a multi-decade long movement and occurrence. Aside from this, good video & theories.
@@Videntis.History I will add: The soon to be president is as bold as he is erratic. So I wouldn't rule out the possibility he might very well try this, as he seems adamant. Whether or not this will be a stable decision is up to opinion, and possibly, the future.
Can we just annex everything west of ontario? Like why would republicans want east canada it's mostly ideologically opposed, but west canada connects Alaska and brings in fellow conservatives. It would be massively popular among Republicans and decently popular among west canadians.
@@JamesTodorovich I like your thinking, but Canadian sentiment is very pro-independence, including among Canadian conservatives. The only outlier to this is Quebec which has a ground for pro-quebec independence, which is even further from the concept of American annexation. Annexing any region of a country is a very long, delicate process. Doing it too quickly would instantly prove chaotic among both populations and that can go REALLY bad. And doing it for political reasons entirely is a lost cause. Gotta think about land management, materials, economic value, demographics, etc.
I was looking for this....well, that and a reply that I normally see to these, "I'll die before I let that happen" or something along those same lines. Anyways, I actually think that would have to be, a low and aging population, too large of a land mass, immigrants using Canadian citizenship as a stepping stone as apparently it's easier to be a Canadian citizen then U.S. citizen, then it is to try for U.S. citizenship straight. As a Canadian citizen, what are your thought on my theory?
Many Canadians were offended by the idea of Canada joining the USA? I know for a fact that MANY weren't. Having lived in the USA for 15 years it was extremely easy to make good money because their is economy is so huge. Also freedom. It was the first time in my life that I experienced what freedom meant. Canada goes out of its way to erect cages to block the ambitions of its citizens. I met Mexicans who came to the USA when I did in '97. Most are wealthy, if not outright millionaires. I had to return to Canada after my work visa expired and the oil and gas projects ended. Here I remain, no work anywhere as I was too old to retrain. Zero socialized medicine as most doctors moved to the USA for much better pay. Lots of snow to dig out of. Not the future I wanted and it will be even worse for those generations following me. Canada doesn't work as a country for many reasons. It could be fixed if Trudeau would allow 100 million skilled Europeans to become citizens, but he hates all whites unless they are French.
Interesting idea, as a Canadian I would love to have the American constitution but the redrawing of the provintial borders like that would be a hard no go. It was an interesting thought experiment nonetheless.
@@JacobpoffenrothSo you do not want a 1st amendment where you can speak freely without being arrested? Or a 2nd Amendment where you can lawfully own firearms?
Would the US be willing to embrace Canada's more progressive stance on wedge issues? Also, many Canadians would balk at the overt Christian Nationalist religiosity of government.
Facts: (1) the Canadian economy is 10% the size of the US economy. (2) 80% of Canada's GDP is generated in the "triangle" of Toronto-Montreal-Ottawa and the remaining 20% is the Calgary to Vancouver market. The rest of Canada is like combining Alaska with Nebraska. (3) In the "triangle" there are a lot of American business's who moved plants into Ontario to benefit for lower labor costs. Additionally, the triangle has a very diverse mix of industries that are centrally located, thus it's a good business environment. (4) The unknowns (for me): how much does Canada depend upon China for manufactured products or component parts? That's also a big problem within the US! Canada has notoriously high taxes to support to "healthcare program" and other liberal benefits doled out by their 'big government'. How would that be dealt with in a merger? Their military is of no significance. It would bring nothing to "the party" and it's more land we'd have to defend (much of it an uninhabited frozen wilderness). The oil and natural gas industry in Canada merging with that inside the USA could be very beneficial. We'd inherit the "Quebec Problem". In reality, I don't think it'll ever happen. In 2025 Trudeau will be booted from office and replaced. Trump will cut some sort of trade deal with Canada (which is all the US really wants).
Advantage for Canada is the elimination of trade barriers and tariffs. For Canadian citizens they would get the benefits of the individual liberties and protections the US constitution provides. No seizure of properties for protesting government actions, etc.
How about the fact that I’m proud of my identity and my country regardless of the dumbass government in power right now. I’m not American and have no interest in joining your identity for some perks.
Our individual states have their own government systems and you could keep whatever government or social welfare systems you like as long as you ensure your citizens their constitutional rights. Texas runs Texas, Canada can run Canada as it sees fit. But you do you.

One group of Canadians are already defacto American citizens. All First Nations people and Inuit may live and work in the USA as if they were citizens, a consequence of the Jay Treaty of 1795.

Any Canadian who wanted to be an American could just move here any time they want and stay as long as they want without filling out immigration papers, like First Nations and Inuit people already can.

Our government would be surprised to know how many Canadians like myself would want to integrate... I'm surprised Canada was at least not a sovereign state/territory a long time ago. There's been many many reasons why Canadians always wanted to become Americans for generations. But, honestly, if Canada did become part of the United-States, easily half of the population would move to warmer weather within a week. Canada would then mainly be only land continuing extracting resources and energy.
Please Americans, let us become Americans! At least us that do want to become American because honestly, for us being literally neighboring countries sharing most of our interests, ways of life, products and entertainment we consume and enjoy, it is far too difficult to apply for an American citizenship compared to Americans that move to Canada.

This does not take into account that the 2030 Census is currently projected to net the GOP 12 seats/EV’s while costing the Dems 12, for a swing of 24.
So, another four decades of GOP rule like the post Civil War era? (I know there was Cleveland but he was nonconsecutive)
An awful lot will change by then...
Yeah, CA, IL, & NY all decreased in population in the last census but Electoral Votes were not lowered for 2024. I wonder why? The next Admin won't let that slip by them, so 2028 will reflect correctly. TX, FL, & GA will all be picking up EVs. Also, some of his swing states states he showed aren't really swing states, too so his math is wrong favoring democrats.
That would encourage the democrats to push for annexation since it would be the only way they maintain viability on the national stage. With the way states like New Jersey and Vermont are swinging right now, republicans may solidify their control over national level politics in a way that hasn’t been seen since after 1865

But, keep in mind quebec won't be happy about this. They want independence.
I'm American and would love for you guys to join us. Maybe you could teach us a thing or too about social benefits and we could finally have the money and power to fund them. And the economic might and military power of both countries would ensure we could get what we want on the world stage. And, culturally we are the same, even the French speakers. Yeah, Canada is more liberal, but I think it would balance out with free migration of citizens. And, I don't think it would be right to make Canadians "Americans" but rather we both become citizens of a new name so we can keep our pride. Honestly, it would make sense for all of the former UK colonies to join together as a loose country with somewhat independent governments. But imagine the benefits of free trade, combined military, and free migration from place to place

It may be unrealistic that Canada votes to join the US, but the Republicans cant deny the Canadians, thatd be unconstitutional. We are bound by law to accept Canada once they want to join us.
Edit: I am fine with being wrong sometimes I was misinformed. We have Article XI of the Article of Confederation which would allow Canadas entry within the United States at any point their territories want to join. But we are not bound by law to take them.
Where is that supposed law written. We keep goofing around with Puerto Rico even though they have expressed interest in becoming a State
@larrydale5733 I looked further into it, it's not a law I was misinformed . However, article 9 of the confederation does state they could join at any time
the articles have not been in use or had any legality for centuries
While technically never repealed, much like the constitution, the articles of confederation have little power as originally envisioned
@@larrydale5733puerto Rico is not Canada or founded by Anglo-Saxons so…
It would be the state of Moose. But seriously this wouldn't work unless the Canadians supported it and they wouldn't. But it is a strange way that could happen. Here is my more realistic scenario. Quebec decides to pull out of Canada when Trudeau is still able to hold onto power. There is a massive fight when Trudeau tries to get the military to crush Quebec. Liberals rise and try to fight with Trudeau but all they do is cause chaos. Canada collapses and begs for help. After a narrow vote, any part of Canada that has an eight-percent majority vote to join is allowed into the Union. Overwhelmingly, the Canadians vote for order over chaos. Note: This is still an alternate reality, but that is the only path I see.
A bunch of Canadians told me and my brothers and dad in person here in Idaho they want to join America and they hope it happens or that we invade them they joke.
Honestly a solid enough pretense for fiction. Not likely but believable.
Let me guess they were from prairie provinces. I mean their opinion is still valid. But it’s like saying the option of someone from North Dakota is the general feeling of Americans.
It makes more sense for Western provinces/territories to join than the East. British Columbia shares more with Washington state than Quebec and ontario.

Instead of making Canada a single state, make each province a state. Instead of 51 states there will be 60 states.

Quebec almost joined the US into their revolt against the British and could have became a state or an allied nation in 1774, But with the sheer manpower of the british army against the patriots revolt got crushed during a winter snow storm at Saint-Eustache. So we remained alligned with the loyalist who adopted ''Canada'' as their country as well. I never forgot as a Quebecois the 3 letters and 2 attempts by the Americans to drive back the British army from our nation, in fact we may not speak english as a primary language, but we have more in commons with the Americans than the Loyalist Canadians who wanted to remain a vassal colony of the British Empire who later collapsed.
Our retirements investments are mostly into the US stock exchange, half of our daily products are from the US and we use the same platforms to communicate.... I always wondered why Canadians prefer to remain a loyal colonny to the Brits rather than seek close relations and unify with the US.

Benefit Canada? How? Americans literally have it worse and have the same life expectancy as people in third world countries. They have to beg on the internet to get money for healthcare, alot have to work two jobs just to get by, and go bankrupt the instant they need a little bit of healthcare anyway.
If shit keeps getting worse in Canada, as a Canadian I'd say joining the USA would be our best case scenario.
Merging the United States with Canada would be wonderful. The combination of the natural resources in Canada witht the industrial base in the US that can can make good use of those resources you will have a combined country that is unbeatable in every respect. This is yet another great idea coming from Donald Trump.
More likely, individual provinces such as Alberta break off and become independent and negotiate favorable trade agreements with the U.S. while they escape from the Ottawa government which, rather than being seen as oppressive, is simply exploitive, similar to a colonial relationship.
"Please God let this happen it would be so fucking funny."
Absorb Canada but lose Quebec. They should be independent. They would only slow us down.

I have a theory that if Canada were to experience a severe economic depression, it could result in a large number of freeloaders leaving the country, potentially reducing the population by five to ten million people. The majority of those leaving would likely be old stock Canadians, who are fourth generation or more, and tend to lean heavily towards the side of freedom. This exodus would not make America more liberal, but rather more conservative and freedom-loving. It could even lead to the ratification of the American Constitution in place of the Canadian Charter of Rights, especially in light of the way Justin Trudeau handled the situation with the truckers. Additionally, they would be stuck with a socialist debt that the left has left them with, making it easier to spread it across 400 million people. Moreover, Canada would be a strategic asset to have access to resources.
Canada is not a fully congealed Country like most. Basically they are just several provinces that have agreed to work together. If Tooty Trudy continues , some might just join the U.S. anyway, and leave Trudeau behind.

Justin gets re-elected and half of Canada breaks away to form Western Canada. Western Canada is unable to join the USMCA/NAFTA2 and realizes their only option for lifting up their people is to join the US as a territory on the pathway to statehood.
I laughed out loud at "Trudeau gets re-elected". I think more than half of Canada would break away lol
This option is far more likely than people think, especially with equalization payments being nothing more than a bribe that the west pays to keep Quebec in the federation.

Not much would change. The US economy is 13 times larger than Canada’s. And that gap grows wider every year. If Canada was a state it would be the poorest, behind even Mississippi. Canada already exports almost all of its raw resources to America
So Canada joining the US would only have the effect of marginally increasing America’s economic power by about 7%. Taking US GDP in 2024 from the current $29.3 Trillion to $31.5 Trillion with Canada included
But Canada has insanely high cost of living relative to incomes and very low fertility rates. Canada’s GDP growth is quite bad, GDP Per Capita has been negative to 6 straight quarters and productivity growth has been nearly 0 for the past few years
So Canada would really only be a burden to the US and would probably slow down America’s booming economic growth and productivity growth
well if the US brought their oil and gas mining on par with America's it would be a massive boost for the economy
@@Videntis.Historyfair
Canada had larger potential than Mississippi. Canada has so much natural resources, if America was 75 percent as efficient as they are in the south, Canada will surpass New York in no time

@artsmart haha, right. It's pretty common.
I don't think that Quebec might want to remain a US territory since they basically won't have the same representation and rights as a US state would. Instead, I think it might become a state just like the other 9 former Canadian provinces after the hypothetical US annexation of Canada. Same goes for the 3 northern Canadian territories, which I think they might be merged into 1 big US state.
He said in the video even the northern canadian territories' combined population isn't very big.
I think instead we should merge them into Alaska.
The territories would have to merge into another state. No states below 500k/lowest population state currently. If you don't have at minimum 500k, no statehood you have to join one of the other states. As for ontario break it up, no letting that behemoth blue state into union, cut off the conservatives of it and form a second state, or if needs be add them to the swing state to form a solid conservative state to help balance it. Without doing this the only way the east could join usa would be under a democrat, Republicans would push for western states to join union, but never the eastern ones of canada.
I think wed be smart to make canada many new states because itll result in a little political instability short term but the benefits make it worth it. If we draw the lines right people will get representation.
Quebec citizens wont vote to join US if the rest of Canada do vote to join US. 1/3 of Quebec already want to create their own country and there is new people joining this cause everyday. It's crazy here lol
Let Quebec be their own country. We don’t want them.

Trump make us look like we're parasites for Americans, but we benefits from your side just and you benefits from our. He says there's a 100B$ gap between what we buy vs what we sell to America. What does he expect from a country that have roughly 1/10th of their population? Trump act like he could better run the country without trading with Canada.
Our Canadian dollar just went below 70 cents against the USD. So if they do go through with this in some way, it would genuinely benefit all Canadians as our dollar sucks. The USD would be a blessing for all Canadians.
Having a weak CAD is actually helpful for our exports. If Trumpy-boy wants to hurt Canada, he should make the CAD stronger. From down south, a 25 pct tariff means Canadian exports cost 88 cents instead of 70. Still relatively cheap. The CAD would have been in parity with and sometimes stronger compared the USD in 2007. I remember Canadian exporters being really nervous then.
You are not Canadian. You should move to the USA.
and so would having a 7 dollar an hour minimum wage... right?
Trump was in office when the dollar dropped. America has done more to threaten my financial future more then anything else on earth.
@@kerrytoby7041why do everyone think moving is so easy.. there are things called visas.. and i thought you guys don’t want any immigrants.
Canada should totally join the USA! WE'D BECOME THE MOST RICHEST AND MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!! IF CANADA DOESN'T JOIN, IT WILL TAKE MANY GENERATIONS FOR US TO GET OUT OF POVERTY!
as a Canadian i would be open to this if not for your healthcare system
As a state, you would have the power to keep the healthcare system you have.
If you like your plan you can keep your plan
@@jomckellan not so much that i love our plan, but hate the idea of a medical bankruptcy
No
I say no
I'm for this. Canadians will gain actual rights, the pathetic Canadian government will collapse and Canada will no longer exist. Win is a win.
You guys are too concentrated on sensationalist news. Things are going pretty well in Canada on the most part. We’re not going to collapse that’s funny! Trump rolled back the tarifs in 2018 because it was making him look bad in the US with large corporations. He was cutting into their profits with no actual benefit for americans. Everything started costing more and it was noticeable to americans. He was forced to pull back. This time around it’s posturing again. Putting tarifs on Canadian goods is like cutting off your own arm.. when folks notice that ford f150 jumps from 60k to 80k. He’s find an excuse to remove the tariffs like the last time. There’s no trade deficit, that’s made up. Sometimes it’s the us that buys less, sometimes it’s Canada. It’s pretty much equal. Also. Canada has 10times les people. Thus Canadians buy a lot more per house from the US than americans do. We are the US largest customer. canada is the primary destination for export for 30 states. Putting tarifs is just plain stupid. That’s why the Canadians are not panicking as much as the us media likes to portray it.
funny... Americans are losing rights via Trump... and he isn't even in yet. Imagine, a pollster being sued by Trump... because he did not agree with what she said. That is called fascism my friends.
Only problem is.. canadians aren’t as political as Americans.. and we’re not as woke as the media makes us.. I’m scared all the really radical left actaully move to canada and destroy the country( state)..
This sounds good with Trump in power but not with the Democrats.
I have not yet met one Canadian who was offended by what Trump said, i am sure there are some knuckle heads out there who would be offended, but not one, in fact every one of the ones i encountered said they would welcome Canada joining the USA!
IN THE WEST WE WANT A VOTEDO YOU WANT A TERRITORY OF USA YES YES YES
Justin Trudeau the Gaynadian, i mean the gay Canadian.
No offense to Canada, but joining the US should not be seen as a surrender, but a celebration.
Canada would be America's hat, and Mexico would be it's beard.😅
No
It is basically been one for a very long time already, so wie might as well finally make it offical.
Will never happen as almost 90% of Canadians said not chance in a recent survey!!!
We are not offended by his "joke" but we are offended that donald said governor Trudeau ... he is not our leader but trump could be and we would love it and to become apart of the greatest nation in the world. Most all Canadian s hate the current state of Canada with horrible gun laws getting worse and paying taxes for scams like arivecan and false emergency act against truckers and a million other things
If anything like this happened, it is thought a more realistic scenario is that each Canadian province would become its own state, rather than Canada as a whole being one state, so this would mean around 13 more states.
Doesn't make sense. Canada's head of State is the King of the United Kingdom Charles III and they have a Governor-General. This doesn't make sense the Prime Minister can't just announce "Oh we are joining the United States."
Yes, but exactly what could the UK actually do about it? Maybe we should anex them too. Think about it, we beat them twice when they were at their strongest militarily over 200 years ago and if not for the US they would be speaking German today. I say if Canada or province of Canada want to join the US I'm OK with that and I'm from texas. In texas there is a strong movement for independence which I'm OK with too.
King Charles surrendered to President Trump in 2017 during his first world tour. The English crown no longer has control of the UK or Canada, making Canada able to join the US.
Canadians would despise this. And an annexation occurring so swiftly under an unwilling populace is quite possibly the worst kind of move you can make as a leader on both ends.
1:29 you mention it being supported among party lines but I feel the exact opposite would transpire. Republicans & Democrats wouldn't want an ungodly massive population increase to occur in the tens of millions, including Canada's very large immigrant population. Repubs especially, considering the more left-leaning stance Canadians tend to have politically, and Democrats likely perceiving it as imperialist. The E.U even has currency integration yet federalism remains a far-off dream, this is even more so.
If Canada ever joins the union, it will be a multi-decade long movement and occurrence.
Aside from this, good video & theories.
fair points, yeah it would take longer than a few months. Thanks for the nice comment
@@Videntis.History I will add: The soon to be president is as bold as he is erratic. So I wouldn't rule out the possibility he might very well try this, as he seems adamant. Whether or not this will be a stable decision is up to opinion, and possibly, the future.
Can we just annex everything west of ontario? Like why would republicans want east canada it's mostly ideologically opposed, but west canada connects Alaska and brings in fellow conservatives. It would be massively popular among Republicans and decently popular among west canadians.
@@JamesTodorovich I like your thinking, but Canadian sentiment is very pro-independence, including among Canadian conservatives. The only outlier to this is Quebec which has a ground for pro-quebec independence, which is even further from the concept of American annexation.
Annexing any region of a country is a very long, delicate process. Doing it too quickly would instantly prove chaotic among both populations and that can go REALLY bad. And doing it for political reasons entirely is a lost cause. Gotta think about land management, materials, economic value, demographics, etc.
The eastern provinces would, but the western ones are much less anti-US. A lot of middle province people would embrace it.
As a Canadian I welcome the chance to be American
I was looking for this....well, that and a reply that I normally see to these, "I'll die before I let that happen" or something along those same lines.
Anyways, I actually think that would have to be, a low and aging population, too large of a land mass, immigrants using Canadian citizenship as a stepping stone as apparently it's easier to be a Canadian citizen then U.S. citizen, then it is to try for U.S. citizenship straight.
As a Canadian citizen, what are your thought on my theory?
I would welcome Canada as part of USA. After all, we tried to take Canada back in early 1800s. Anyway, Canadians look and sound like Americans.
Getting a high crime and more illegals? Nah, don’t like the trade.
you are not Canadian.period.
No thx Canada is canada im proud to be Canadian
As i canadian, i would not object to a stonger protection of my rights via the constitution. Our liberty chart is in paper. Long live the 51 state !
I don't care anymore, let's just become American as Canadians. If you look at the Colony of Canada it used to be that way. 😜
Many Canadians were offended by the idea of Canada joining the USA? I know for a fact that MANY weren't. Having lived in the USA for 15 years it was extremely easy to make good money because their is economy is so huge. Also freedom. It was the first time in my life that I experienced what freedom meant. Canada goes out of its way to erect cages to block the ambitions of its citizens. I met Mexicans who came to the USA when I did in '97. Most are wealthy, if not outright millionaires. I had to return to Canada after my work visa expired and the oil and gas projects ended. Here I remain, no work anywhere as I was too old to retrain. Zero socialized medicine as most doctors moved to the USA for much better pay. Lots of snow to dig out of. Not the future I wanted and it will be even worse for those generations following me. Canada doesn't work as a country for many reasons. It could be fixed if Trudeau would allow 100 million skilled Europeans to become citizens, but he hates all whites unless they are French.
how about what if the US joined Canada?
Interesting idea, as a Canadian I would love to have the American constitution but the redrawing of the provintial borders like that would be a hard no go. It was an interesting thought experiment nonetheless.

Would the US be willing to embrace Canada's more progressive stance on wedge issues? Also, many Canadians would balk at the overt Christian Nationalist religiosity of government.

Facts: (1) the Canadian economy is 10% the size of the US economy. (2) 80% of Canada's GDP is generated in the "triangle" of Toronto-Montreal-Ottawa and the remaining 20% is the Calgary to Vancouver market. The rest of Canada is like combining Alaska with Nebraska. (3) In the "triangle" there are a lot of American business's who moved plants into Ontario to benefit for lower labor costs. Additionally, the triangle has a very diverse mix of industries that are centrally located, thus it's a good business environment. (4) The unknowns (for me): how much does Canada depend upon China for manufactured products or component parts? That's also a big problem within the US! Canada has notoriously high taxes to support to "healthcare program" and other liberal benefits doled out by their 'big government'. How would that be dealt with in a merger? Their military is of no significance. It would bring nothing to "the party" and it's more land we'd have to defend (much of it an uninhabited frozen wilderness). The oil and natural gas industry in Canada merging with that inside the USA could be very beneficial. We'd inherit the "Quebec Problem". In reality, I don't think it'll ever happen. In 2025 Trudeau will be booted from office and replaced. Trump will cut some sort of trade deal with Canada (which is all the US really wants).
Great video
Advantage for Canada is the elimination of trade barriers and tariffs. For Canadian citizens they would get the benefits of the individual liberties and protections the US constitution provides. No seizure of properties for protesting government actions, etc.
How about the fact that I’m proud of my identity and my country regardless of the dumbass government in power right now. I’m not American and have no interest in joining your identity for some perks.
Our individual states have their own government systems and you could keep whatever government or social welfare systems you like as long as you ensure your citizens their constitutional rights. Texas runs Texas, Canada can run Canada as it sees fit. But you do you.
