A new blue state with 40 million people? I don’t think he’s thought this through very well.
Canada isn’t as blue as you think unfortunately
According to a Leger poll, 64% of Canadians would vote for Kamala Harris, while 21% would support Donald Trump, with 15% undecided. Conservative voters in Canada were nearly evenly split, with 42% supporting Harris and 45% backing Trump.
Trump would lose the election if Canada were a state, barring any electoral college shenanigans.
Electoral college logic: Alberta gets its own statehood and 25 votes, BC gets 4 votes because it gets absorbed into Washington State, and the Victoria and Olympia Reps have to share one chair in Congress because they couldn’t buy another one somehow.
It’s blue enough as far as presidential elections are concerned. With the electoral college system, you only need a slim majority voting Democrat, and Canada as 51st would reliably provide that. Even where Congress is concerned, it would become significantly harder to elect a Republican majority I think, though there would be more of a battle there.
The logical candidate for 51st state, of course, is Puerto Rico, and the GOP is not super-enthused about them either. It’s hard to say how they would vote long-term, but they certainly have a strong and well-justified hatred for Trump.

How about the US can become the 11th province and trump can eat shit.
How about we just laugh in NATO at this dumb fuck and pop him for treason.
If only Biden would grow a spine.
He can’t even feel his spine at this point, so I think we are asking a lot for that
You don’t want us.
Hell, I’m one of us and I don’t even want us. Lol
Territory. They wouldn’t be able to become a province for a couple decades, I think.
It would have the same effect due to their population
This is starting to get ridiculous.
Late 2015 called
These were the jokes that were said and laughed at at the time. “If Trump got in he’d annex Canada”.
Look where we are 9 years later, staring down the fact this guy said this right to the PMs face.
All of a sudden you’d have leftist domestic terrorists to deal with
I don’t think Trump understands how much Canadians hate Americans
Hey Canada, can I convince you to adopt us in Minnesota?
This isn’t a logical statement.
This isn’t a logical statement.
That can be assumed of any statement that Trump makes.
Alberta:
D. Smith came
For the first time in her life.
Looks like the comment was made in jest.
Bully humor and “just joking” are characteristics of the far right though, and they deliberately blur the line between jokes and threats. I’m not particularly reassured that this is where Trump’s mind goes, even if he’d say it’s just a joke.
