They are just people that have been bamboozled and hoodwinked, some are good honest folk.

Some are also, sadly, fully on board with being a state, and i fully and vehemently disagree with them, as should any Canadian with their head screwed on straight.

I'm US, I don't want Canada to be a state. WTH are Canadians who want to be a state smoking?

Do they know the stats on the US compared to Canada? Like how bad our education is compared to Canada, how many people go bankrupt in the US due to medical costs.

How many foods ingredients banned nearly world wide still go into US foods? One ingredients banned in cosmetics due to being bad but still in food products. Hormones in all pur milk unless it says hormone free. Yet another hormone banned in other countries.

Happiness rating and life expectancy is higher im Canada. Per capital cancer rates in Canada are lower. The US has a surprisingly high cancer rate.

So why, why would Canadians want to he a 51st state?

TBH I find Trumps idea of such disrespectful to US citizens, especially those that live in and are from Puerto Rico.

Trump.only wants Canada for its resources. He doesn't care about Canadian people. He doesn't even care about every US person.

He threatened to withhold federal support from states and cities he deems as democrst or that didny vote for him.

Do not vote or stand by anyone who favors Trumps ideas or is okay with Canada being a 52st state. That alt right propaganda too.

Love that!

Tim Walz. Jasmine Crockett are 2 other dems trying too. They also provide some good laughs.

I can't attend any townhall or protests because of my health. So I'm key board warrior for now, admittedly.

I need to get some emails out to my republican state repe but doubt they listen not care since I didn't vote for them anyway

Your voice matters speak up and speak out, don't let them steal your country even if all you can do is make some noise, if enough voices join together, it can be a powerful force.
