51st state

[wrongway]

Trump quipped that Canada could become the 51st state...even mentioning splitting the west and east.
This would be great for ag. we could trade all our production freely south. bring up low cost parts and inputs. be finally free of the tyranny of the majority(east).
dreaming the dream. I know there is lots and lots of reasons not to.
i suggest we call the new state Buffalo.

Another 4 year term of Team Trudeau and western separation , in my opinion will be getting really serious . Realistically , what do we have to lose, other than the shackles of eastern Canada ?

Can't happen fast enough .

Seperation as enticing as it sounds to all of us here, is a non issue.
Like I said on the children's page.
Half vote NDP, most live in cities, and all population growth were either not born out west or in Canada at all.
Go to the coffee shop, try and have a informed discussion about health care.....

People say separation cause we have little say.Then join a country with 10 times the people .That does not sound real bright

[blackpowder]

Along with the cultural differences that many don't consider, are you aware of the differences in political systems?

Trump getting lots of miles out of that joke but I bet he did get pretty boy to squirm
