"The US does not want Canada. At all."
This is a very nice thought, but given that the US government has stated the precise contrary repeatedly and most emphatically, it sounds a lot like wishful thinking. Or, more bluntly, just plain denial.
That was just Trump trolling & dissing Canada.
Doesn't ANYBODY read The Art of the Deal?
I still don't know if was just to insult Trudeau/Carney or to push the Canadian voters to vote for Carney instead of Poilievre in order to keep the Liberals on the path of harming the country. For them to vote Liberal to thumb their noses at Trump. I figure that's more likely than not.
It is unimaginably difficult to explain to an American how offensive, and indeed wilfully blind, that is.
Consider the possibility that this is exactly what was intended. Not willfully blind but purposely intended. Do you really think that Trump wants 40 million additional left-of-center voters?
For Canada to become a US state is practically impossible. First off, Americans in general don't want another California. Or another Puerto Rico.
None of the necessary legal steps could happen in the foreseeable future.
* The territory must have a referendum to become a state.
* Then petition Congress.
* Congress must pass an enabling act.
* Both House and Senate must pass legislation admitting the new state.
* This means that the majority of existing states must vote to admit the new state. This simply will not happen, given the current political situation.
Frankly, it is more likely that Mexico would become a state than Canada. And that of course will not happen.
