51st
From Angus Reid Polling
Canada as 51st State? Four-in-five Americans say a merger should be up to Canadians; 90% of us say ‘no’
Americans oppose a merger 2:1;
Just 52% say if Canada does join the U.S., it should get ‘full statehood’
………………
January 14, 2025 – Comments once dismissed as “trolling”, “musing” or “Trump just being Trump” have taken on more serious overtones as the U.S. president-elect persists in talking about having Canada join the United States.
After a month of what was initially waved off as “silly talk”, the narrative is creating significant anxiety among Canadians, and bemusement among the few Americans actually aware of the situation.
A cross-border study conducted by the non-profit Angus Reid Institute finds that while one-in-three Canadians (32%) believe Donald Trump is serious in his professed goal of making Canada the 51st state, most Americans – two-thirds – have paid little attention to the incoming president’s comments.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE 🙂
Yeah I’m not surprised by these results. I personally dislike living in Canada and think that most people here are spoon-fed idiots who lean left and lack the ability to think critically. That said, I know there are several forum members who know what’s going on but love this country despite its leftist ideologies. To each his own.
So I have a better idea: how about Trump declare a 6-month (or whatever) period of time whereby those of us Canadians who are weary of living like this can emigrate to the US. With proof of self-sufficiency of course. I would jump at the chance to leave here for good.
Excellent idea GMG. We would welcome you and Columbia. FGC is welcome but he has to bring all his critters. LOL
I am still considering it
But where in the US ?
California ….fires earthquakes
Whole Left Coast…Communist wokesters
Florida…heat and Hurricaines
Midwest….Tornados Floods
New York & Northeast…Communists in charge
Southwest…Illegals
Yikes
Yes to those issues.
I 81 corridor, VA or TN, but at the higher elevations.
Is there a restriction on Moving to USA and not requiring a Green Card GMG ?
I thought we could just emigrate and live as Landed Immigrants so long as we don’t need to work
The correct answer is if you do not own assets like a TFSA, RRSP that the IRS would love to tax, come on down.
Wait a minute…..you dragged me kicking and screaming out of VT (before it became woke-central) because you said that once you weren’t working there any more, we could only do 6 months. So…..now we can live there permanently?
FGC, my understanding is you can’t take up permanent residence there unless you have a job (which gives you a visa, which then leads to a green card) or unless you invest 1 million into some sort of “approved” company; this is an investor visa.
So, to all US residents on this forum who have branded us as idiots for living in Canada (you know who you are), please understand that it’s not just a matter of deciding you want to live in the US. The hordes of people that you hear about who are moving stateside are either those with one spouse that had dual citizenship, or else they are young people who have secured employment.
or any asset that attracts tax. So if you have a whack of cash to live off and you are under the radar and rent.
Really ?
I don’t have an RRSP as I am over the age and have to cash in yearly
BUT can you not leave your Financial assets in canadian banks ?
And why can you not purchase a Home as a Non resident ?
The Globalist have done a great mind control fuckery on Canadians. A few are waking up, but is it too late?
In principle, living in Victoria, BC … a socialist/idealogue hell hole surrounded by physical beauty and best climate in Canada, I would not want to join the USA… however, I the Liberal/NDP get into power again, Canada is 100% lost and it would then be better to join USA… and just because they seem like they have no chance in hell to win the next election… just remember with them in power… we are in hell!!
That’s what I feel like too, Islandgold. Except sub Vancouver for Victoria. Same socialist/idealogue mentality, face rags all over, a hell-hole with a good climate and abundant food-shopping opportunities and recreational facilities. I would rather shrivel up and die than have to move to “the country” and grow tomatoes, milk goats etc, so I put up with it. You are absolutely right; I think we can defeat the lib-tards this time around but its entirely possible that the left will re-emerge stronger than ever due to your correct assessment of “mindfuckery” and we are screwed once more 🙁
Is “milking goats” analogous to “raising donkeys”??
It’s possible that we all missed the opportunity to burn our passport, drivers license and all forms of ID and then simply walk across the border claiming illegal migrant status! $8K a month spending allowance, free food, free phone, free education, free medical and fancy hotel room (basically all expenses paid). If you don’t remember who you are then they can’t seize investments. And if the policies changes you probably have a decade or two before being offered a free ride home………
As for the “lib-tards” — just watch what is happening NOW in the Canadian MSM with the all out glowing reviews being draped upon WEF’s Mark Carney who is being parachuted in to save the Liberal Party. He has been a globalist fighting for the ideals of the elite for a very long time and served on WEF Board of Directors until they decided to scrub him contributions so that they hide his possible links to tyranny, one world government and depopulation agendas.
The $B bribes (funding to the CBC) seem to be having the desired effect.
The only negative report has been from the UK where his staff at Bank of England complained about his treatment of staff — that article came and went unnoticed!
I know. It’s depressing. We are fucked for at least until October. And then in all likelihood the left-ards will say that it’s okay to vote Liberal again now that Turd-o is gone, and we will once again have to worry if the Conservatives can pull it off.
It all goes back to what other posters have said about Canadians and mindfuckery/the nanny state/idealogs/no critical thinking skills….MSM dishes up the slop and the pigs come to the trough and feed off it 🙁
