How about Canadians can concern themselves with their Constitution, and Americans can concern themselves with theirs.
Lets be realistic, over 90% of people from both nations don't have their constitution memorized.

The idea that there must be parity between the two nations is inane.  They are different countries, with different cultures, and different needs.  
The, "Culture" part is vague.  Most Canadians are fluent in English (even in Quebec).  They ARE different countries, however there is no reason why this status quo has to stay this way (NY culture is way more like Ontario culture than NY culture is like TX culture; but NY is with America and not Canada).

For instance, we have the right to bear arms, but in Canada, it's just too damn cold for bare arms.
Guns are not only legal in Canada, but people in Canada are more likely to have guns than I think ANY European country.  

Out of 230 countries worldwide for gun ownership per capita, America is #1 (no surprise), AUS is #51, England and Wales is #127, Scotland is #117.

Canada is #7.


At 37 guns per 100 people, it basically blends right in with the US:

Americans are more likely to have multiple guns; but this wouldn't really matter; you can only hold one gun at a time.

I see you forgot to tag me.

Canada has universal healthcare. Doge is trying to cut funding for Medicaid, social security and veterans.
The 10th amendment to the US constitution says that issues like healthcare are left up to the states.  In other words, Canadian Americans would be allowed to keep Medicare for all in their states.  Canadian nationalists act like we would be taking away their Medicare for all; that's just Canadian government propaganda; they would be allowed to keep Medicare for all and they may even expand the idea to current US states.  If California or Hawaii implements Medicare for all, then congrats Canadians, because you guys agreed to join the US and because other states decided to copy your ideas, now you can enjoy Medicare for all in a warm environment.  I know Canadian winters can be brutal.  If they join America and wait for CA or HI to implement Medicare for all, then the Canadians would get to enjoy the free healthcare they had before the annexation and now they can move to somewhere warm.

All Canadian arguments against annexation are either rebuttable or emotional.

Doge has no plans to stop Massachusetts Universal Healthcare. 

It's likely Doge will help other states, including Canada, to offer the best local plans for their unique communities.

No shit Captain irrelevant, that doesn't have anything at all to do with my point.

Don't you think it's no fair Canada got to have a queen, and we don't? (Not counting RuPaul)

So you've never been to Canada, OK, and again, you are just blathering irrelevant information that you Googled, it has nothing to do with my point.

LOL, zoom, right over your head.

If Canada did become the 51st state, the Republicans would never win another election, Canadians are overwhelmingly liberal.

Canada has about the same population and leanings as California, so yes, Republicans would, as a party, end. Politics will then be between moderate Californians and Radical Californians. Adding 54 left-leaning Canadian members to the Congress is enough to practically rewrite the constitution. Adding 54 electoral votes for the left means they can win every election with the support of 15 blue states. No swing states needed.

Did Canada ever beat America?
American armies invaded Canada in 1812 at three points, but all three campaigns ended in failure. One army surrendered at Detroit at the western end of Lake Erie, a second army surrendered at Queenston Heights at the other end of the lake, and a third army withdrew after little more than a skirmish north of New York.

On Thursday, the tables turned. It was Canada that scored first – again – and last. Canada won the game narrowly 3-2, after the US left Connor McDavid, the best player on the planet, open in the slot in sudden-death overtime. He made no mistake.

Right, which makes them different.
But changing the rules when you happen to benefit from the rules is fine.  Like, politicians are allowed to raise their own salaries; people don't really care if it's not too much of a raise.
I have no idea what your point is here.

Politicians raise their own salaries because literally no one else is empowered to do it, and if you think about it it's probably best that way. The alternative is to give an outside actor the power to dictate what they get paid, not exactly a great alternative.

Trump was indicted in four different jurisdictions because he committed obvious and serious crimes. 
What were the obvious and serious crimes?

And Jan 6 was horrible, but the left thought he committed a bunch of crimes before Jan 6, so you would have to resort to crimes before Jan 6.
January 6th is the most obvious example and that made up 2 of his 4 indictments. Hoarding classified documents and obstructing the FBI's investigation into there whereabouts is pretty damn serious to. Of his 4 indictments the least serious one is the crime his personal attorney literally served 3 years in prison for where Trump was listed as co-conspirator in the charging documents. So the best argument anyone has against any of the indictments is to argue it's fine for Cohen to be incarcerated for the crime but not the guy he worked "in coordination with and at the direction of" when he committed it. That's absurd.

Everything else was civil, but rape and business fraud after pretty serious charges and the evidence at least for the fraud charges is not reasonably disputable. Oh and there's Trump's fake university. Oh, and don't forget about his flagrant abuse of his charity's funds.

The guy is a walking fraud, just no one was paying attention until he became the most powerful man on earth. Funny how that happens.

Yes, in 2019 A judge ordered President Donald Trump to pay $2 million to an array of charities as a fine for misusing his own charitable foundation to further his political and business interests.

Don't fret, once they see how Tariffs solve the drug problem and make everyone rich. they will probably all run to the right.

Proves Trump does not know that adding Canada to the US will be bad for Republicans.

She lied to you.

Are BBQ Fritos discontinued?
Thankfully, BBQ Fritos Were Not Discontinued For Very Long
Two years after Fritos Bar-B-Q were unceremoniously removed from shelves in 2018, Frito-Lay rolled them out for a limited run in 2020. They were available in 1-ounce and 9.5-ounce bags, but only at Dollar General stores, and for a limited time.

The criticism about Trump is *why* he wants a third term, the answer is because he's actively trying to rewrite our constitution for his own personal benefit.
Trump's argument, "I have my own Bible, why can't I have my own Constitution?"

"I don't repost to you, I report to Putin, and he said I could"
