Everyone cheering for Canada to become the 51st US state should know that the single uniting piece of Canadian culture is “not American”.

It might sound tongue-in-cheek but it’s deeply entwined in our history.  It’s hilarious/sad that Canadians are like this but it’s one of the only things we all agree on.

I’d bet most Canadians would take a lower standard of living than capitulate to becoming American (with the possible exception of Albertans).

“most canadians would take a lower standard of living than capitulate to  becoming american”

i refuse such disrespect🙂‍↔️

Try it the other way around, “most Americans would take a lower standard of living than capitulate to becoming Canadian”

Agree?

In general: self-sovereign entities don’t want to be swallowed up by other self-sovereign entities.  Makes sense, doesn’t it?  Doesn’t have anything to do with respect.
