4 out of 10 young Canadians want to join the U.S.

[Troll]

More than four in 10 (43 per cent) said they’d vote to join the States if Canadians were offered full American citizenship and had their Canadian assets converted into U.S. dollars. (By comparison, only 17 per cent 55 and older would go along with the idea.) Almost a third of young Canadians think “it’s only a matter of time” before Canada and the U.S. merge into one country.

In another 5 to 10 years it won't be

[SirKnechtalot]

Canada is allready very similar, only without guns and with a functioning health care. So why would they join? Actually it´d be Merica who ´d join.

Maybe but a lot can happen between now and then ...

The article mentions that overall support for Canada joining the US is at 13%. The section you linked provides no information on how many people were polled to get the result you quoted.

Canada has a functioning healthcare system and no school shootings, plus a myriad of other benefits that Americans could only ever dream to have.

I call BS on this, big time

yeah, no canadian would willingly allow themselves to move to a country that is inferior in almost every way.

there might be some delusional young canadians, but the majority of canadians would move to 100 different countries before the us.

Russia takes Ukraine, China takes Taiwan, America takes Canada and Greenland because USA is #1

[Troll]

Article mentions young Canadians so eventually they will all want to join up, trump will get it done during his third term.

It's also pretty obvious the OP is just a troll anyway. Look at how completely and obviously unhinged the responses are.

"US #1"

"Trump 3rd term"

Not to be taken seriously.

Ngl, the 2nd part can happen. The Congress can request revoking constitutional amendment that disallowed 3rd term. Considering the majority of both chambers of Congress, Republicans would have no problems passing the measure.

The 1st part is obvious that military wise, US is stronger than most countries in total war. The last time the nation was at total war was in WW2. We are very capable of repealing any attack on mainland US. Also, not to mention, US is in nuclear club therefore mainland US will always be secure.

Perhaps you cannot be taken seriously...

The 2nd part can't really happen, because there are 4 ways to make an amendment to the constitution, none of which are likely:

1. Proposed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, then ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states.

2. Proposed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, then ratified by specially called ratifying conventions in at least three-fourths of the states.

3. Proposed at a constitutional convention called by at least two-thirds of the states, then ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states.

4. Proposed at a constitutional convention called by at least two-thirds of the states, then ratified by specially called ratifying conventions in at least three-fourths of the states.


As far as the US being number 1 goes, sure, they're the military superpower. But I'd hardly call them #1, because they rank so low in a lot of metrics that really matter. I'd highly suggest you look up where the US stands in comparison to the rest of the world.

Yeah, and all 4 are Republican majority. If it put in a floor vote, I am confident that it would pass. That's the difference between now and Trump's 1st term. We were dealing with divided government as in 2016 to 2020.

It doesn't matter because USA is still #1 and will remain so.

#1in scientific breakthroughs
#1 military
#1 in space and rocketry
Still #1 in AI (deepseek will be exposed)

I can go on and on
