"They Got Problems”: Fox News Contributor Warns That Absorbing Canada Could Infect America With All Its Leftist Lunacy

Former W. Bush jokewriter, er, speechwriter Marc Thiessen is taking Trump's trolling of "Baby Doc" Trudeau seriously and tells us what we already know.

First, most Canadians would probably be Democrats and that is out of a population of 40 million.
Second, Canada wouldn't come into the Union as one state but as at least ten and probably 13 as the territories - The Yukon, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territory - would likely come in as states as well, or would be groomed to quickly become states. And since the Canadian provinces and territories are much larger than American states they may well be broken up into more states. All of these with two Senators and as many representatives as their population would allow.

Then there is the problem of Quebec. America has no national language; English is our primary language by custom alone. (We are also the second largest Spanish speaking country on Earth, with more people speaking Spanish as their primary language than any other country except Mexico.) Quebec would force us into doing what Canada has done for generations; do everything in a bilingual manner. And of course if we do it for the French Canadians we will have to do it for the Spanish speakers at least. How many languages will be on our currency, on our road signs, etc.?

And then there is Nunavut, which would demand the speaking of whatever Eskimo tongue they have.

The addition of all this multiculturalism on an already stretched-too-thin U.S. would break our country and culture into pieces. Canada barely manages it. Oh, and Canada is known for being polite; why do you think that is? Canadians have to be or they'd be at each-other's throats.

I agree with Thiessen; we might want parts of Canada, notably Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Yukon and perhaps the Atlantic provinces (maybe). I don't think Nunavut would be very helpful to us, except maybe for oil (which it may have) and uranium, perhaps. But we'd have to take in their low population and cater to their unique culture. Not sure there's a whole lot of benefit. Nor is a "northwest passage" unless you blieve the lie of "climate change" which has been claiming we'd have an ice-free northwest passage for decades. That didn't happenp and in fact there has been an increase in sea ice there.

The U.S. doesn't want Ontario or Manitoba or Quebec or whatnot. Too liberal. Too unproductive.

And in fact Canadians pride themselves on their national identity, which is entwined with their NOT being Americans. I don't think the proposal would go over well.

Sadly Canada has largely conquered the world; it's policies are now worldwide, it has infected even the U.S. with it's disease of socialized medicine, and it now makes many of the movies and television shows we see. Not sure how that happened with a country of 40 million but they did it.

I do not believe Trump was even remotely serious; it was his way of trolling them. He likes to do stuff like that. This is his way of getting in Trudeau and the rest of the great white north's heads. It's how you win negotiations.

At any rate even if Canada wants admission to the U.S. I don't think we should want admission into the Dominion of Canada.
