No no no no we are NOT even discussing this. Don't want us as your longest running trade partner? Fine. But this 51st state delusion can go take a long walk off a short pier. You want us, you'll have to literally conquer us.
We burned the White House once, we'll do it again if we need to.
I can't stand all these articles which by discussing it gives it some bullshit implicit weight that it's a real thing.
There is no discussing it. There is no "it would be complicated." Its not "here's what Canada as the 51st state would mean for..." It's no. It will not happen.
It's bullshit journalism to even devote time to the idea instead of just calling it what it is. Bullshit.
Please, go ahead. Seriously, please.
