Probably one of the stupidest and most insane ideas I’ve ever heard. It’s amazing how easily republicans all accepted this. Also canada being a single state is incredibly ridiculous, everything else aside.

Even if everyone involved wanted to merge Canada and the US, it would be idiotic to do it as a single state.

Even the fantasy is stupid with them.

I assume Republicans know that if they made Canada into six states, they would never win national elections again. Not that I think they would be planning on having fair elections or really any elections at all by that point.
