Canada can't be the 51st state. It would need to be the 51st through 63rd state...
... Tom Green explains.

Quebec could join with New Orleans
Let them all take the citizenship test, as my grandparents did. And let them abjure their fealty to any foreign potentates, such as Charles III.
Adding Canada to the USA would lock in the Democrats for eternity. Instead, we should give New York to Canada and California to Mexico and no more leftist governments.
This comment by Trump is just prepping the rhetorical battlefield for our purchase of Greenland.
We just need the four western province plus the Yukon Territory. And I’m cool with four new states plus a territory. Gives us a contiguous country from Point Barrow south to San Diego and east to Key West. God help us, we absolutely do not want Quebec. Or Vermont either, come to think of it.
A flag with 6 rows of 9 stars. Classy.
Or five rows with 11 stars, if we succeed in acquiring Greenland.
Four states: Maritime, Ontario, Maniskatuan, Alberlumbia. Quebec can be its own country.
Prince Albert Sask had one-wire power with an earth return, when I was there. You could step over a brook and get a shock. Not up to code, so there's a cost.
Good thinking, but I'd worry about British Columbia. Victoria and Vancouver are loony to begin with and with WA and OR so close, the three of them could become CA.
@gspencer, I see the danger, and you’re right — it’s a very high likelihood that western BC would be as nutsy as places like Eugene, Portland, and Seattle. But politically Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba would more than balance it.
Just joking about Greenland as a state — its population is only a tenth of Wyoming’s, which is currently our least populous state. It would have to be a territory.
The last thing we need is another monster state like California.
We don't want Canada because it would bring in 12 Senators on the left. The "Conservative" party of Canada is somewhat to the left of RFK Jr. and everyone else is further left. There's no conservatives in Canada as we understand the term. A government job - which they all want - was known as "the womb with a view" referring to the movie back in my day. Since then then, government and citizens together, they've just been quietly living up to their manifest destiny of moving ever more to the left. They supported Viet Nam awhile back and now they support Gaza. They're antisemites. They are both racists and anti-white - how can that be? This is the country that educated Kamala - that is all you need to know..
Seriously, i think this is the most stupid idea future 47 has ever had. I know he is using it for leverage in negotiations but, please, why would any Canadian want to be an American. (and I love being and American)
Purchase? Who said anything about purchase? Land cannot be owned. It can only be defended. Denmark is 1,800 miles from Greenland and has spent 0 Krones on aircraft carriers. The United States can occupy Greenland in about 4 seconds and Denmark can then try to take it back from us.
"National security" ... the two most important words in the American language.
We require Greenland. Therefore it is ours unless some other country wishes to defend it against us.
No Trudeau. Free speech and our health insurance isn't trying to kill you.
We'll take'em, but they're on probation for at least 50 years as an unincorporated US Foreign territory, while we look'em over - like Puerto Rico or American Samoa.
Why is anyone taking this seriously? It makes me wonder what the Pundit Class is trying very hard to ignore when they talk about nonsense.
What do you with people who can't understand "Jokes". At least Tom Greene does. Any merger with Canada will never happen but you want to fantasize, then here goes...
Addding 13 new canadian "State" would mean 26 new Senators. At least 22 of them would be Leftwing Democrats like the ones we have from NY, New England. The maritime provinces would be like Maine or Vermont. Ontairo/Quebec like NY. As for the 4 western provinces. British columbia is to the Left of California. Manitoba and Sastaketwan are akin to Minnasota and on a good day, North Dakota. The only provience that would be reliably Republican would be Alberta.
But Canada would never join the USA. Why would they? They have national health insurance. They pay 1 percent of the GDP for Defense. They let the USA fight the wars, while they disapprove or shout "Go USA Go". Canada shouldn't join the USA, it should break apart. Western Canada has nothing in common with Eastern canada, and would do well on its own.
"Seriously, i think this is the most stupid idea future 47 has ever had. "
Trump didnt have an "idea" he was making a Joke. Is there anything faker then Libtards playing dumb and taking things literally?
If states are added serially Obama will have been right?
We don't need all of Canada... let the French part alone. Western Canada is far more conservative... allow them to join the USA!!!
at the risk of sounding like i'm agreeing with Dixcus..
No ONE is talking about Purchase.. We're talking LIBERATION..
Greenland DESERVES to be FREE!
Corner Gas was pretty cool. Google maps even has the original set on street view.
Ah, Americans. I don't know why anyone assumes Canada has to be taken in as one nation. Albertans are incredibly angry at the onerous carbon taxes, and it won't be hard to get them to petition for territory status the second President Trump suggests it. As it is, lowering loving standards in Canada any further is likely to lead to revolution. So just go with the flow, and know that the President's joke was funny enough to collapse tbe Trudeau government.
The demented Dixcus wrote: "Purchase? Who said anything about purchase? Land cannot be owned. It can only be defended."
***********
Now explain why Jefferson paid millions for the Louisiana Purchase.
Then explain why millions of people in the US, Europe and most developed countries in the world use their deeds to buy and sell their real property.
You offer nothing original here. French anarchist and philosopher Pierre-Joseph Proudhonsaid the same thing in his 1840 work, "What Is Property?"
The world has ignored him for almost 200 years. WE will ignore you NOW.
Greenland has only 56,000 inhabitants---far too small to be made a state, and a TENTH of Wyoming's, currently the lowest.
"Who said that taking over Canada means that we will give equal rights to the Canadians?"
Who said anything about just "taking them over"? If we MERGED, Canadians would become US citizens, protected just as we are by our Constitution.
Or do you think Canada's armed forces would just lie down if we attacked them to force them to "join"?
Wachoo smokin'?
Heck, I had no idea Tom Green was still with us...
Add their territory to Washington, Idaho, Montana, and North Dakota.
Victoria and Vancouver are loony to begin with and with WA and OR so close, the three of them could become CA.
Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Vicki's not playing.
Trump puts it out there to get people like Victoria to jump. And jump she did.
Super Troopers 2 but on a larger scale.
A couple days ago I learned that up in Canada one out of every twenty deaths are due to medically-assisted suicide. I think a case can be made for medically-assisted suicide with terminal illness in extreme pain, but no case can possibly be made that 5% of all deaths should be due to their MAID program.
I question the math: We have 330 million people in 50 states, so that's an average of 6.6 million per state. Canada has 41 million people, so 41/6.6 = 6 (rounded) That would give us 6 new states, but we don't want Quebec, or really the Maritimes or Ontario. So maybe we pick up 4 or 5 states.
And ranked 51 through 63 in per capita income.
Add Canada as a colony without statehood or voting power. Make them pay for their own military defense (i.e., a huge, huge, huge arctic border with Russia) and they'll return to economic reality very soon.
If the Canadian Provinces offered to join the United States, that would be too good a deal to pass up. What might Trump have to accept to close the deal?
1. Letting the new Canadian states continue to call themselves provinces. Some of our states call themselves commonwealths so no biggie.
2. Renaming our country the United States of America and Canada. Awkward. The Universal Service Administrative Company will have to give up their website.
3. Moving our capital from DC to: a) Ottawa, b) Chicago, or c) Madison. What an opportunity to drain the swamp! Trump should offer Chicago but trick them into settling for Madison. Quebec will want Detroit or Des Moines.
4. Throw over J.D. Vance and make Justin Trudeau the Vice President. Vance can be on the DOGE.
5. Make O Canada the second and final verse of the Star Spangled Banner. I’d bet more Americans know the words to O Canada than the original second, third, and fourth verses.
I like the special treatment for Canada in Article XI of the Articles of Confederation: "Canada acceding to this confederation, and joining in the measures of the united states, shall be admitted into, and entitled to all the advantages of this union: but no other colony shall be admitted into the same, unless such admission be agreed to by nine states."
That was back when "united states" was not capitalized, 1777.
that was a joke? Pathetic
Yes, it's stupid. The (only?) upside to the controversy is that instead of talking about breaking up the country, as we usually do after presidential elections, we are talking about expanding it. Our age of territorial expansion is behind us, but remembering it without entirely giving in to bitter self-reproach and recrimination isn't necessarily a bad thing.
There is no reason to think the era of nation states attempting territorial expansion is behind us. See China and Russia for examples of the continuation of this thinking. And they want to do their expansions by force or subversion. The US, at least, makes such offers of statehood openly, or jokingly, or with a handful of US dollars.
As for Trudeau having any role in future US/Canadian governance, not just no but HELL NO. He certainly hasn't earned it through any act of competent governance in his present or past roles. And what does King Chuck and PM Starmer have to say about the loss to the Commonwealth of the UK's North American colony?
Puerto Rico should be next. Canada fended off two invasions.

I dunno about their military, but I expect the Toronto police would come out and give us coffee.

“We don't need all of Canada... let the French part alone.”
Agreed. Leave St Pierre & Miquelon alone. That would just unnecessarily involve another country.

Not familiar with Tom Green. But the last Red Green episode broadcast in 2006.
Canada has 41m. California has 39m+. We could take the whole place as a single state.

Third time’s a charm.

I think of Chuck as more of an impotentate. He can only advise, consent, and warn, after all.
That’s a curious clause. At the time, the colony of “Canada” only included Quebec and Ontario. Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland were separate colonies, and so didn’t have a right of admission to the union.
