I think Trump is trying to act like a dictator. He is copying Putin and Xi nothing more.I don't think they really want it to be a state. For one thing, it would get about as much representation in Congress as California has, pretty much ensuring that the left maintains the House and likely also the Presidency in any future elections from the time it's made a state.
It's actually a similar reason as to why the majority of people on the right would not want Texas to successfully secede, at least not if they have thought about the implications for more than just a few seconds. Texas being gone would mean less electoral votes for them and less members of the House on the right.
I think it is trolling and a bit of a threat. Also, Trump is a delusional narcissist. He says things that make no sense but then because he can't handle admitting he's wrong ever, he doubles down. The same is true for Greenland. I do think the threat against Greenland is higher though because they are smaller and less populated than Canada by far. MAGA go along with whatever Trump says because their egos cannot accept admitting they're wrong about Trump, so they can't admit most of the time when he's wrong.
Public support for independence is too low in Alberta for this American hallucination to go anywhere.Voted no. Make Alberta the 51st state, and the rest of Canada can be a territory that has to earn its statehood.
Trump supporters want whatever Trump tells them they want.Do Trump supporters want to make Canada the 51st state? Trump brings it up all the time. Trump supporters say he is joking, but he has said several times he is not joking. So do Trump supporters support Trump's quest to make Canada the 51st state? It seems like that would tip the scales in Congress towards the Democrats. Would Trump supporters rather Canada become a US territory or Canada remain a sovereign country?
Some in those states might think they'd like to but our cultures and political systems are incompatible.They can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which fills up first.
A more likely scenario is California, Oregon and Washington seceding to become the 11th Canadian province.
Don't get my hopes up.A more likely scenario is California, Oregon and Washington seceding to become the 11th Canadian province.
Ontario is the wealthiest province, and in the USA that would place that province slightly more richer than Mississippi.
Why would the USA want Canada?

Shudder when we think of the rest.
And they would vote for the Democrats.
This is why Canada would have to accept territory status before statehood. The entire country has a smaller economy than multiple US states despite a larger population. We'd need to figure out what they're doing wrong granting them the privilege of being a US state.
Or how about you just don't get what you want and everyone laughs at the very idea?This is why Canada would have to accept territory status before statehood.

Canada has zero interest in accepting any such thing, as they’ve said.....dozens of times at this point.This is why Canada would have to accept territory status before statehood.
