It’s blatant extortion now.

    10 Provinces + 3 Territories = 1 single state’s worth of representation.

      If it did happen, private insurance would decimate Canadian universal Healthcare almost instantly. That alone would lead to significant political unrest. American healthcare is by far the most dystopian among high income nations.

      Please we’d be a territory and our people completely subjugated. The US won’t hand over political power after violently annexing a sovereign country.

      “Representation” under a fascist government with a would-be dictator who has promised to abolish voting. And they’ve been openly discussing making Canada a territory without representatives anyway.

      The problem is, Canada has been secure so far because the USA has been an ally, and Russia knew that an attack on Canada from the north would be resisted by the USA. Not to mention the impracticality of the attack when the Arctic is frozen. But now the Arctic is becoming viable for ships and Canada finds itself sandwiched between two hostile nations, Russia and the USA, with the USA more likely to.collaborate with Russia in destroying Canada than to defend it. And Canada’s military is very small compared to either of those countries.
