The only people it makes sense to, for Canada becoming a US state, is the people in the USA.
We have land and resources they need, that we are happy to sell them, year over year.
Also, just to mention, the dairy thing? Yeah, that's on dairy products beyond a certain cap. It's there to encourage the use of Canadian dairy, instead of relying on foreign dairy.... You know, so our dairy farmers don't go broke.
Looking at the records, that import limit has been hit...... Carry the one....... Yeah, exactly zero times.
🖕
Sincerely,
I'm in the US and making Canada a state makes 0 sense to me
That's fair. There's still sensible people in the USA.
I was a little unclear before, the set of people who think this makes sense is entirely within the set of people in the USA. Which doesn't and shouldn't imply that all people in the USA believe that this makes sense.
I apologize if there was any implication of lumping all Americans into the same pool of stupidity. That's an insult to you and I am sorry.
Have a good day neighbor.
Nah we're good. I totally get the intent and point. And I'm one of the ones hit by the electricity thing. Sucks, but y'all have to fight back.
Sorry about that. I'm not far from the border at Niagara falls and I know how much power is sent over the lines across the Niagara River (generally).... It's not great, and I'm sorry you have been caught in the crossfire here.
You don't want this, I can assure you, we don't want this, but it's what is happening.
