Boise, ‘Merica – Local skimmer of news articles John Lougthrow recently exclaimed he was ‘amped’ for Canada to become the 49th state of the currently 50 United States of America.
“Hard to believe they weren’t already Americans,” explained Lougthrow. “I mean, they already speak our language, and they vote for our president. I don’t know how they think they can just use our tax dollars for their free healthcare without paying insurance.”
Lougthrow’s comments resonated with a lot of eligible voters in the United States, who also are unaware of not only the policies of their country, but where their country begins and ends.
“Yeah, and I think it’s about time we add Alaska as a state too,” stated Hilary Bornhere, another American sharing her one cent about US international policy. “For that matter it’s about time Iowa gets added to our glorious country. If San Francisco is allowed to be a state, then Iowa should get to be one too.”
While many Americans are excited by the idea of adding Canada to the USA, some expressed outrage by the idea that “another stripe” must be added to the flag.
Emboldened by Trump, many Americans have begun sharing the best strategies for invading Canada, most of which fail to correctly find Canada on a global map. Lougthrow himself believes the best route to invasion is going through Japan because, “once you get through there, you’re almost at Vancouver.”
Americans have listed many of the abundant resources they are excited to have access to with Canada joining the US including orange groves, “marijuana trees,” and “oil farms.”
There appears to be a great need for lobotomy clinics below the 49th.
LOL Didn't need your satirical article to come to that conclusion.
I was almost tempted to take this seriously.
Although Trump could make the same argument as he does about Greenland, i.e. needing Canada for America's national security, other arguments could be made about the resources like fresh water (remember my article about Marc DeVillier's book Water Wars?), minerals, oil and gas. But what could America do about all those polite poeple? Re-education internment camps?
How about if we trade California, Oregon and Washinton to Canada for Ontario
Ontario could then be the 48th state
You can't do that to me!!!!! I'd have to have an American passport instead of my Canadian one. I'd have to sew a Canadian flag on my backpack.
We’re running out of room for stripes to represent the states. We’ll have to go plaid.
Then America could get mistaken to be Scotland.
Who is this Scot guy, and why does he get to have a whole country?!
?
Morning Hal...nah don't worry about stars and stripes..this one should cover everything..
Morning... that's half the trouble with the US...there are to many States and some are that small...would drive you nuts with all the different State legislature...
Now Canada and us had the right idea...less is best and have decent sized States/Provinces...and roughly the same land mass..
And the US..I rest my case.. nothing like a bit of over kill..🙄
We could turn Canada into another fifty states. Making up names that sound American will be fun. Norther Dakota … Ohidaho … West Washington … Massatoquettes …
Can we please name the Canadian states after Real Housewives?
@ Hal A. Luhah and jbb
Nope, ridicule for MAGA thinking Trump can annex Canada!
Trump sees Putin taking Ukraine so he wants Greenland too.
Okay, got it.
