Two recent surveys suggest most Canadians actually agree on something: that U.S. president-elect Donald Trump should keep his hands off Canada.

However, one survey found that a significant chunk of Canadians, nearly a quarter, were at least open to the idea. And another poll found about the same percentage of Americans were also supportive of a merge.

The polls conducted by Abacus Data and Angus Reid Institute follow comments by Trump who has mused that Canada could be annexed by the U.S. and become the 51st state.

    the discussion about this whole thing reads at a 1st grade level. “Lets just do it, we’re so much like them anyway, we’d pay less taxes, Canada is fucked, its not a bad idea honestly”

    and this is supposed to be a dicussion about merging two fundementally different governments, tens of thousands of laws, and two economies involving like 360 million people? I’ll shorten it for you. IT IS NOT HAPPENING. Such a thing would take DECADES of work and require both sides to be on board the entire time.

    the only scenario that remains feasible for this desired end result. is a mother fucking invasion.

    Democracy is precious, and its also fucking lethal. Because it gives traitors and brainrot paitients a vote.
