Congressman Byron Donalds told POTUS that he wants Canada to become a U.S. territory instead of the 51st state. "The Canadians, they are going to elect two Democrat senators," he said. WAIT, KEK, THIS ENTIRE THING IS MENTALLY RETARDED. Canadian perspective incoming. See top comment!

🍁 ART OF THE DEAL 🍁
How about this? Get the Bill of Rights enforced properly, fix the health system, deport the foreigners, abolish the unlawful income tax and the FED, abolish the other unlawful alphabet agencies and we'll circle back.
BEFORE anything, ban and outlaw dominion and ALL electronic tabulators, mandatory precinct voting and counting of paper ballots, mandatory creation of election integrity artifacts, and audits of all 7 election integrity artifact layers. you have to make it hard for vile humans to get away with cheating, then you'll have a true measure of population sentiment. I don't believe the US party demographics are anywhere near 50/50.
also- vigorously block foreign money influence in elections, and oh ya- deport soros off the planet.
This should be priority number 1!
And start on his first day in office as you know it'll be a long and difficult battle with the dims and DS to make this become a reality...
Agreed.
100% need to fix our shit first before dealing with Canada
100%
(preamble: I spent maybe a half an hour straight with the AI giving it bullet points of what I wanted it to say, and this is what it came up with, then I asked it to reduce it by 50%, haha)
All right, let’s lay it out in plain language. I care deeply about Canada—its people, its resources, and its character. The idea that this enormous, vibrant, and glorious country could or should join the United States only as a “territory” is so absurd that I’m half-wondering if this senator got lost on the way to a geography lesson. Let’s unpack why this is an insult, and why, if (big “if”) Canada were ever to join the Union, it would demand far more representation than the crumbs some folks seem to want to toss our way.
1. Canada Is Not a Single Block of Ice
We’re not some monolith. Canada isn’t one uniform chunk of land with a single worldview. We’ve got the Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairie provinces, British Columbia, and three northern territories that are worlds unto themselves. Each region has unique interests, cultures, and industries. If anyone thinks you can take all that complexity, dump it in the U.S. system, and call it a day, they’re kidding themselves. Treating Canada as one big block, like Puerto Rico or Guam, ignores the reality that we’re bigger than the entire contiguous U.S. west of the Mississippi.
2. Resources Beyond Counting
Canada’s contributions would be staggering:
Canada isn’t a minor “add-on.” We’re a massive, resource-rich economy.
3. Population and Education
With a population of about 40 million, Canada is home to one of the most educated populations on Earth. Our universities and colleges consistently rank among the best in the world. We are not northern Mexico. Adding millions of skilled, educated Canadians to the U.S. labour force isn’t a footnote—it’s a game changer.
4. Arctic Control and Strategic Value
Canada controls a massive chunk of the Arctic, which is becoming strategically crucial as climate change opens up new shipping lanes, resource sites, and naval routes. If the U.S. wants to enhance its Arctic presence, partnering with Canada is a no-brainer. Reducing us to “territory” status ignores how vital Canada is in this high-stakes geopolitical region.
5. Representation: More Than an Afterthought
If you absorb a country as big and diverse as Canada, you don’t get to toss it one or two Senate seats like a consolation prize. Ontario alone has the population of many U.S. states combined. Quebec, with its unique language and culture, isn’t going to sit quietly under generic representation. And what about the Maritimes, the Prairies, and British Columbia? Throw in the North (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut) and Indigenous nations with treaty rights, and you’ve got a mess if proper representation isn’t prioritized.
6. The Insult Factor
Canadians can be polite, but we know when we’re being insulted. Saying “Oh, just be a territory, that’s good enough” is condescending at best. We’re not a minor colony, and we’re not about to hand over our sovereignty in exchange for second-class status.
7. Cultural Ties and Differences
Sure, Canada and the U.S. share media, sports, and language (outside Quebec). But our approaches to healthcare, gun laws, and social welfare are different. Merging us into the U.S. as a “territory” buries these distinctions and leaves us without the representation we’d need to address issues that directly affect us.
8. Indigenous Voices
Canada’s First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples have their own governance structures and treaty rights. Rolling them into a territory without real representation would undo decades of work toward reconciliation and justice. It’s a slap in the face to their sovereignty and culture.
9. The Political Angle
This senator’s logic is laughable. He defends the Electoral College one moment, then ignores its principles when discussing Canada. You can’t have it both ways—either states get fair representation, or they don’t. Trying to cram Canada into a model based on population alone is contradictory and reeks of self-serving politics.
10. A Smarter Discussion
If the U.S. and Canada ever wanted closer integration, it would require a model that respects Canada’s regions, cultures, and resources. We’re talking multiple states, not “territory” status. Anything less wouldn’t work—and Canadians wouldn’t stand for it.
The Conclusion
From our fresh water to our energy resources to our strategic Arctic position, Canada is an economic and geopolitical heavyweight. If any American politician seriously wants Canada in the Union, they’d better propose full statehood—multiple states, in fact. Suggesting territory status is insulting, shortsighted, and downright laughable.
If someone thinks Canada would agree to such a humiliating arrangement, they can take that plan, fold it up real nice, and store it somewhere the sun doesn’t shine. We might be polite, but we’re not pushovers. Canada isn’t some minor add-on—it’s a powerhouse. If this senator can’t see that, then he’s welcome to find another country to toy with, because Canada’s not playing second fiddle to anyone.
Being a territory is not a consolation prize: it's the route to statehood. Aside from the original 13 states, every other state was a territory first. No reason at all that Canada couldn't be as many separate states, just like the Louisiana Purchase was handled. It's a solid path that respects self-determination and regional determination and autonomy.
Canada is not Louisiana circa 1803. It's a member of the g7 and it deserves to be treated as such. Comparing a modern, independent nation to the territorial acquisitions of the U.S. during its westward expansion ignores some pretty fundamental differences. Canada is already a fully developed, sovereign country with 40 million people, a distinct political system, and a long-standing global identity. Treating it like an undeveloped land waiting to be carved into states is wildly reductive and, frankly, dismissive of what Canada actually is.
The Louisiana Purchase analogy doesn’t hold water here because the territories acquired then didn’t have established governments, advanced infrastructure, or massive contributions to global trade.
If the U.S. wants Canada in the Union, it starts with a deal that recognizes the country’s equal footing, not some patronizing “you’ll get there eventually” narrative.
Well, I don't think it's in the cards either way. But the only way to become a state under the US constitution is for a representative government of a defined area to apply to Congress for statehood and be approved by Congress. I can't imagine the entire country of Canada wanting to be one U.S. state, so it's either a bunch of statehood applications or none at all, if Canada becomes part of the U.S. at all.
I think it's more likely that the United Party of Canada comes out of nowhere to do its own table-turning reform of the country and becomes U.S.A.-aligned. Let's see what happens. I'm sure we're all in for surprises along the way.
Canada would, indeed, require multiple states. Which is why this whole idea falls flat before it can even get off the ground. If anything, Canada deserves it's full INDEPENDENCE from the UK, emphasis on the kingdom part.
Also, sorry Canada, but if it happens that you do join the U.S., territorial status would be the first step while the larger and more complex issues you had ChatGPT state for you are worked out first. You'd need to get in line behind P.R., Guam, the U.S. V.I., and American Samoa.
But, realistically, y'all deserve to be fully INDEPENDENT of any other Nation, but especially INDEPENDENT of your king.
Good point and all, but, anyone that thinks that there's a lineup of these territories or that they will proceed in order it needs their head examined.
Another major problem that would be difficult to overcome would be integrating the Canadian Defence Forces into the US system.
The Canadian Military system is like the Australian and New Zealand Military systems, being the British system. All four Countries Defence Forces are structured very similar and by definition are designed to be for practical purposes interchangeable. They have very different traditions and operational procedures than Americans.
These procedures mainly concern the Army, as Air Forces and Navies are more compatible due to using similar equipment and engaging in similar tasks.
The Canadian Army, due to it's history, traditions and procedures, wouldn't appreciate giving up or modifying it's procedures to suit US procedures.
Canadians would probably prefer to remain a sovereign country and still be a close ally of the US, whilst being able to contribute they own operational skills as they have contributed in conflicts such as World War 1, World War 2, The Korean War and other involvements.
We've been an independent sovereign country for decades. Canada Act 1982.
If that is so please direct me to a true constitution accepted on by the people. Going to go get popcorn while I wait.
Sorry fren I'm not sure what you are asking. No constitution in canada. We have the charter of rights and freedoms. It's as useless as your constitution under tyrannical rule.
This is true, but ultimate authority in federal lawmaking still requires the ascent of the monarchy in the UK via their representative in Canada, the governor General. A position that is appointed not elected.
Technically yes but it is now more of a ceremonial role with no real power, nothing at all to do with the monarchy and functions on the advice of the pm not king or queen. We don't have to consult with Charles to make new laws. In certain circumstances GG has some power but has not been exercised in decades.
That is so true. Canada, as part of the USA, needs to be at least 30 separate states. All President Trump truly wants is for Canada to be independent of the King. Just about the only thing that is keeping Canada from independence is the Commonwealth games and the fact that the Commonwealth games don't include the United States which means more medals for Canada.
Byron Donald’s serve in the house, not the senate. Did the AI get that incorrect? Just curious.
We just need a special military operation to denazify ukra... I mean Canada. Kek I'm just joking of course. Just makes me think Boss's enemies are probably thinking this.
I'd like to hear what Canadians themselves would propose, rather than just clutching pearls over what has been conjecture around territory or statehood status.
It's paramount to understand what the people of Canada would be happy with in some type of US/Canada alliance. Without knowing that, it seems much ado about nothing. Without knowing the Canadian perspective, this is just one sided nonsense, where everybody seems to be pissed off in one form or another.
What say you Canadians?
And...be aware that despite Canada's long list of positive potential contributions, resources and talent, there's a lot of Americans that aren't exactly feeling warm and fuzzy about integration. Primarily regarding politics - and how that could tilt the US (potentially) back in the blue direction that we've worked so hard to push back recently.
I believe closer economic Integration may be workable. Pegging the CAD to USD among other close relationships. Free trade on both sides, and easier access for businesses to cross borders with less red tape. It seems that Canadians want to retain identity, sovereignty, politics, as damaged or unfair as they may be, social and cultural distinctness, etc.
We have always had close relationship with USA, but are definitely proud to be Canadian, often using American as a compare and contrast. That said, there may be economic benefits to be had by tighter economic cooperation, but as always the devil is in the details. The majority of Canadians would not relinquish sovereignty. If it was forced, we may not be militarily able to stand against the USA, but you can be damn sure I'll be hiding in the bushes taking pot shots at any occupying force. Despite rhetoric, we actually have a lot of guns per capita too!
Canadians are known to be fierce fighters, and are the reason many rules in the Geneva convention exist, I.e. we committed war crimes before they were crimes. So be wary of a forced integration.
Isnt trying to rearrange votes the same thing as interfering in an election. I really really really wish people would remember that Trudeau did not win a landslide he barely scraped through. The only reason he was able to do what he has done is he got the NDP to back him all the way through. They tag teamed so every BS they passed through went through. Its only recently the NDP said they wont vote with them any more. NDP leader wanted to stretch it out to get his 2 million a year pension so he held the rest of Canada hostage.
Next election both NDP and Liberal are done.
"Congressman Byron Donalds told POTUS that he wants Canada to become a U.S. territory instead of the 51st state. "The Canadians, they are going to elect two Democrat senators..."
Donalds is absolutely right, except for one thing: Like (apparently) most Americans, he appears to think of Canada as a single entity, which it definitely is not. Canada is formed of ten separate provinces, each of which is comparable to an American state, with its own government. Quebec is the worst, being run by elitist loons who think they are actually part of France.
That adds up to twenty democrat senators, with one being so far to the left that it nearly drops off the map.
Yes, "Territory status isn't too bad." As long as they get no voting rights.
Let each province choose. A territory will work because we fund most of Canada already v
I don't think they are much different in terms of Provincial laws vs state laws. But the truth is that there are vast stretches of Canada that are even more sparsely populated than areas of Wyoming, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Nevada that it would be best to break them up into territories and then pass the homestead act of 2026 to get those territories populated. The same is true of Greenland in terms of population. But congrats on the President for being forward thinking.
BTW, I think this plan was in the works for five to six years and President Trump first hinted toward this plan as well as seizure of the Panama Canal right before the 2020 election.
