One of the many, many reasons Canada would never become the 51st state.

I don’t see the appeal of Florida.
My maternal family has decades and generations in Florida.
My paternal family was in Florida post-WWII.
My parents met in high school in Florida.
I spent a lot of time in Florida.
Florida is hot, humid, buggy, and suburban HELL.
From mid-March to late April and mid-October to late November, it’s borderline unlivable; from late April to mid-October it is unlivable.
It is truly a suburban hellscape.
Canada will be a territory - same voting privileges as Puerto Rico.

Smart. Connect Poilievre to Trump at a time Canadians hate the US and American conservatism more than ever.

Like I said about undocumented immigrants, Canadians should all leave and let the communities feel the pain of losing business.

I will just put this here as it sort of ties in. No words.

When the lifetime bullied person gets a chance to become the bully and relishes the power, you have JD Vance.

Trouble with this type, they have no gauge for when they’ve gone too far.

Perfectly normal and rational behavior from our current presidential administration. And as usual our resident bosiders and Trumpers are nowhere to be seen. It's insanity like this that has led me to disregard anything else they say - anyone who supports this is beyond help or reason.

Menaced by Trump, Canada Prepares to Join E.U. Military Industry Buildup
Canada’s draft deal to participate in Europe’s defense industry will bring contracts to Canadian manufacturers and help lessen dependence on the United States.
The budding defense cooperation between Canada and the European Union, which is racing to shore up its industry to lower reliance on the United States, would boost Canada’s military manufacturers and offer the country a new market at a time when its relationship with the United States has become frayed.
Shaken by a crisis in the two nations’ longstanding alliance since President Trump’s election, Canada has started moving closer to Europe. The military industry collaboration with the European Union highlights how traditional U.S. allies are deepening their ties without U.S. participation to insulate themselves from Mr. Trump’s unpredictable moves.
...
That program is meant to prioritize European-made products, with 65 percent of component costs coming either from within the bloc or from partners that have signed a specific type of deal with it. Under the current talks, Canada would help supply the additional 35 percent and could go further if it brokered an additional agreement to participate even more closely.
Canada, according to the terms of the discussion, would also be given preferential access to the E.U. market for military equipment, an alternative to buying equipment from the United States.

Three anti-fascism experts leave Yale for University of Toronto. When the experts on the subject pull up stakes, others should heed the warning. Think back to 1930s Germany when the Einsteins, Max Borns, and the Brechts etc read the writing on the wall and left, before the other intellectuals were put up against it.

Professor Stanley is well known for his work in philosophy of language as well as his more recent work in political philosophy, particularly on topics such as propaganda and fascism. You can learn more about his writings here.
In an email, he writes that “the decision was entirely because of the political climate in the United States.” He had had an offer from Toronto, and decided to accept it last Friday night after Columbia’s capitulation to the Trump administration’s demands.
He notes that he will be joining others who left Yale for the Munk School, such historians Timothy Snyder and Marci Shore.
Stanley writes that he has been “very happy at Yale, with the department and the university,” but that he wants “to raise my kids in a country that is not tilting towards a fascist dictatorship.”

Mind you, this anticipatory response is happening across the economy, we just haven't felt it yet. E.g. I know three RNs getting out, who previously had no plans to do so, one to Australia, one to UK, and one to Costa Rica. In my department we have two set for Canada, one for Australia, and one in likely to Germany (yes, they view the EU, on the boundaries of Putin imperialism, as safer than the US). All are in direct response to this admin, and what they see coming down the pike. Of the seven mentioned, six have kids. These anecdotes aren't from large populations. I have no exposure to the research side of the system, and that element is expected to lose 20-25% of staff due to NIH cuts.
The US isn't likely to get these folks back. They are skilled. They can demand high wages in segments starved of supply.
