They need a bunch of stuff from Canada, and they know it. Why they're playing dumb like that, we'll never know.

We really ought to stop exports of anything their military needs, for national security reasons. "National security" is one of Trump's favorite justifications, so I'm sure he'll understand.

That's how you definitely get invaded. Cover Canada in spikes before you do something like that.

If they invade Canada, they better not grant citizenship. 30 million New Democrats (75% of Canadians), many new senators, and a bunch of electoral collage votes. There would not be another Republican government for at least a generation. Starting in 2026 (mid-terms).

Just the Canadians already living in the US would have stopped Trump from winning last election.

All we need to do is remind them of the above and they will never, ever invade. It is perhaps our most powerful shield.

With the above in mind, stop sending them nickel immediately. Their military will do the negotiating for us.

The only have the power we give them. Please give them none.

Threat of 51st state is actually threat to make us another Guam, for this reason.

Exactly. We'd be a territory with no voting rights.
