Trump doubles down on annexation threat, says Canada would be ‘cherished state’
-
I mean, even though I'm still not fully sure how American elections work, wouldn't Canada be a huge blue state and lead to a lot more of Democrats winning?

You used to be able to say "It's all about the oil" but in this case "It's all about the eggs"

Ah yes, sure, but you see with the magic of gerrymandering, they could bring them in but make sure all their votes collectively count about as much as 3 rednecks in Alabama, so don't you worry about this pesky little detail.

The more he focuses on this instead of ruining the lives of migrants, refugees, and queer people, the better. This is absurd enough to be funny instead of just stoking hate crimes.

America really wants to invite a Canadian sized IRA on themselves, I suppose they can fuck around and fight out.

This is going to be the weirdest part of any history book. People reading and trying to understand why the US suddenly turned on and invaded their close ally of Canada in a failed annexation attempt immediately after watching Russia struggle a similar (though less surprising) annexation of Ukraine, which the US helped fight against.

You will be amazed by the power of gerrymandering.

Planes with Americans? Gander?
As an European this sounds like there was a refugee crisis between Canada and the US. What happened lol? -
The link I posted of the trailer of Come From Away sums it up pretty well. But basically, airspace got locked down in America on 9/11 and hundreds of planes that were on their way had to be grounded. Gander, a small town of about 9000, took in about 8000 passengers. Due to the central location of Gander, it took an absurd amount of planes in and all those people had to go somewhere. We set up emergency shelters but most people just stayed at someone's home for free until the plane was ready to go.
-
September 11, 2001, all planes were grounded in North America, and Gander has an airport under flight routes.

Well the veneer of respectability politics scratched. It's like people getting drunk it's not that alcohol makes violent, or sobby, or anything in particular: It disinhibits (by anaesthetising the frontal lobe before everything else), allowing already-existing but usually under control tendencies to break through.

That's a lot of work, I appreciate it.
