Who ever would have guessed that a serial rapist wouldn't take, "No", for an answer?

Yeah he's not considering consent of people in other countries at all.

Other than the consequences that would happen as a result, it'd be hilarious if Canada ended up doing a, I think we call them, "preemptive targeted use of force against specific individuals determined to pose an active threat to national security".

How fucked is it if another country, historically our closest ally, assassinated our president so many of us would just be like "yeah, makes sense".

Lol. I actually support this.

It'll be worse for Canadians, but better for the US and therefore the world as a whole.

I mean, imagine how all those Canadian voters can affect Congress.

It wouldn't happen. The Republicans would either gerrymander the hell out of Canada in their favor, or Canada would just be another unincorporated territory like Puerto Rico - part of the US but no representation in Congress.

In such a scenario we'd affect Congress by making it one of many targets in a war. Americans need to stop thinking of this as a fun little thought experiment and start thinking of it how it would really be: a bloody war on the North American continent that will directly impact you.

We Canadians don't exist just to be just tools of American politics, no matter which side of those politics you may be on. We're a country and we will defend our country through any means available. We don't want to be part of some bullshit Electoral College that was devised by your bullshit slave master "founders".

Yea, if we practically look at an annexation of Canada, they're a federal govt so each province would be wanting statehood realistically. Imagine how many liberal congresspeople we'd be getting.
