Never did. There was no strawman either, Edwina. Fallacy fallacy. Mantra 40a.

Let's review history. Why did the Confederacy secede from the Union? Why did the city of St. George secede from Baton Rouge just a few years ago?... and I gladly welcome them to join us.
Alberta is going to secede. Saskatchewan will then secede. The only thing that can stop it is for the hateful Marxists running Canada to cease and desist with the Climate Change tyranny, to stop fleecing Alberta and Saskatechwan to redistribute their wealth to buy more and more votes in the other provinces, and to cede power to Alberta and Saskatchewan so those two provinces can enjoy some autonomy and freedom.
Exactly, Alberta and Saskatchewan will be seceding. Once they are independent, and realize the exhorbitant cost of maintaining a military, and realize that the United States will GIVE them loads of cash in conjuction with full US military protection and the right to send Senators and Congress to DC to have a say in the rest of the US ... they'll rush to join the US (while pretending to be totally reluctant).

Canada: The United States' little sister. Whiny, dependent, and can't defend itself.
If they do secede they need to spend a lot more making their pipeline better. It's been springing leaks almost from its beginning. Crappy cheap construction and poor maintenance, the reasons even Republican Governors of the states they run it through don't want any extensions built over the aquifers. It's even worse than the average Koch bros. crappy pipelines and management. Better yet just shut it down and build their own across Canadian land to the coast.
Not sure that's true. Your take on the history is certainly wrong. Canada was French when we were English. It fought on the side of England in the Revolutionary War. It has a long history of independence with a thriving culture of its own and an economic base that currently has strong ties internationally. The distaste for Trump is palpable. It's translated into widely felt patriotic opposition to being annexed.

Nope. Opposing the leftists' death cult is not somehow a death cult.
America and Canada have similar resources and economies. That makes us imperfect trading partners. Canada and the EU have more different strengths, that could make them good trading partners. Canada has the land, and the EU has the people, sort of thing.

The westerners are generally good people. many have the traditional western values of the Old West, something nearly extinct in the U.S. now. It would be a bad idea to allow the eastern part to become states; they're mostly urban and commie.
That's a brainless lie. The US economy is twenty times larger than anything Canada could hope to have. A simple google search would be informative for lying leftist moron like you.

As for resources, Canada has vast resources perhaps surpassing our own, but they would need a market the size of the US to capitalize on it.
Canadas population is about the size of the population of California.
Canada = 41,717,760
California = 39,663,800
Wrong and uneducated as usual.
We are perfect trading partners in that both our economies are similar, speak a common language, have similar pay rates, have similar safety laws and environmental regulations.
Wrong and uneducated as usual. The EU, much like other countries, protects their industry with protectionist measures like tariffs and Government subsidies.
In other words, they need exports to keep their economies alive due to lower populations like Canadas but lack the resources we have.
Large landmasses with lots of resources, sounds like similar economies.
Did I say similar size economies?
Yes. It would give them about the same number of Congressmen, which is why I think it would be a bad idea. 36.8 million of them live in eastern Canada. Alberta would be okay, though.
AI Overview
The total population of Eastern Canada, including the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador, is approximately 36.8 million people, based on combining July 1, 2023 population estimates for the Atlantic provinces with the 2023 estimated populations for Ontario and Quebec. This region accounts for a significant portion of Canada's total population.
This is why I hate arguing with uneducated dopes like you. You don't even know what an economy is or means.
It was inferred halfwit.

I don't want all of Canada. I'd mostly only be interested in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Maybe some other western provinces... The eastern ones I wouldn't want even if you paid me for them.
The USA and Canada have similar resources, especially similar natural resources. The Canadian economy just compliments the EU economy better than ours.This is why I hate arguing with uneducated dopes like you. You don't even know what an economy is or means.
The Economist had a great article on why Canada would be a fantastic fit for the EU.
