    Canada cannot accept US rule because of US debt burden which is unsustainable, in addition to pensions, healthcare, and a demonic ruler under extreme corruption permitted by SCC. The US is a genuine shithole that is bound to collapse and, while that collapse will hurt Canadian economy, it is worse to be inside it.

    Canadians like American people. Certainly, it is both an economic boom without sacrificing Canadian sustainability to absorb US states. A guide to secession written last time Trump won: https://www.naturalfinance.net/2016/11/opposition-to-new-us-republican-control.html

    The big issue is US debt and the fair share of “leaving states”. There is a fair number, but also an asshole version of the number.

      Thing is Canada shouldn’t have its politics influenced by the US from absorbing it either. As a Texan, I can say both our politicians and voters suck. But there could be an easy solution around this problem. Canada could just absorb the US as a newly created Southwest Territories. Territories are directly under the federal government and have no government of their own. Canadians would get new land and resources. Americans would get better healthcare and to be ruled by a less shitty government. Everyone would win.

        I don’t believe people understand any advantage to being in a territory, rather than having “full” input in a federation. Provincehood is an easier sell to the people who would have to ultimately accept. I do like the idea of enslaving Texans, under a posession, there is just a “who with what army” aspect to enforcing that.
