Republican Rep. Chuck Kopp of Alaska, which shares a border with the Yukon and is separated from the contiguous U.S. by Canada, says the state doesn’t support the president’s trade war and annexation bid against Canada.

He has proposed a joint resolution in the state legislature that would affirm Canada’s sovereignty and recognize the enduring, centuries-old ties between Alaska and Canada.

Republicans: Manifest destiny is back!

Canada: okay, Alaska is joining us

Republicans: Not like that!

Alaska is a Republican state. They would rather die than get universal healthcare just in case it helps someone poorer than them.

I dunno I'd give them a chance if they're willing✊
No real reason to gate them as far as I know.

Says the one state with anything resembling UBI.

I don’t know. I think they are pretty mad about Denali getting renamed again.

I mean, it makes geographical sense, it logically and physically should be part of Canada. Let's annex it, who's with me?

Unfortunately, it comes with a lot of people I'm not sure about, like Sarah Palin.

See.... that's literally what I was thinking!

Minnosota, Washington, and California too

If California were to join Canada, the US would be bankrupt and destitute within a week

I thought destitution was illegal!

No wait, that's the other thing
