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.
I literally thought it was another one of his stupid speaking mistakes, like when he suggested bleach/UV inside the body (he was just repeating some stuff he didn’t understand badly, and iirc he didn’t keep harping on it). Kinda surprised to see he was serious about it, it makes no sense to me either.
From a trade/foreign policy perspective, no, it makes no sense. From a long term growth of the USA perspective, it makes a lot of sense. As the Earth heats up, the equator will become less habitable, and the poles will become more habitable. Canada and Greenland have a low population density because of their northern climate, they have resources that are un-extracted because it is not economical to pay someone to live on-site. Every year it gets warmer, and that land becomes more valuable.
For the record, I’m not against Canada becoming a new State, but I am against using military or economic strong-arming to sway that decision.
