  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

Oh.. funny if you think Trump would let any territories he conquers be states. I doubt he would even extend citizenship to his new subjects

It really depends upon whether it would be a red state or a blue state.

State? They would willing be leaving Canada (with a lot less of AB than they think they could take). The US would have all the advantage and it wouldn't be granting statehood. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up with less rights than Puerto Rico. They'd have to go that route though since they couldn't pull off being a separate country.

You're underestimating how racist Republicans can be.

If Puerto Rico or DC were 60% white they'd have been states before Regan left office. Canada is* whiter than the USA, so they'd be granted statehood faster than Trump can lie.

*: based on the numbers from https://inqira.io/q/what-is-the-racial-makeup-of-the-us-compared-to-canada , and some math subtracting "Latino" from "white".

Idk I think he'd love for Alberta to be a state. Never BC, Quebec, or Ontario. Manitoba and Saskatchewan maybe. The territories obviously not
