Does Trump Really Want Canada?

@Schizophonia Canada produced Skinny Puppy. And they have universal healthcare. Surely those two things distinguish them enough.

Lol.

 

That's like saying that Belgium deserves to exist because they have fricadelle.

Canada still has huge problems just keeping Canada together.   Empires ultimately collapse because they acquire too much territory and become unmanegable.

Canada still has huge problems just keeping Canada together because Canana isn't a real nation and also has a fairly centralized government comparable to the United States.

How is it not a real nation and "should not exist". It's 157 years old. That's a lot of nation building and development. That's as real as it gets especially considering the modern nation-state is a fairly new concept. You can't just hand-wave all of that away.

But anyways, this argument is really peculiar given the fact that the United States of America is way more varied within it's borders. I've heard many Americans saying going from this state to that state etc is like going to a whole new country. Florida, for instance, has been described to me by Americans from other states as something that can be described as it's own country.

Is America also not a real country now and shouldn't exist? If so, then why should it decide that Canada should be absorbed by it?

I like what she says about trump, I sense that too.  Although he can appear like a stooge, he seems good at heart.

The US under Trump also want the Panama Canal and Greenland.

Watch the US lose most their allies probably.
