Question to the ‘walkable city’ advocates who hate cars: If you go to the grocery store and have eight bags (or even four bags) of groceries, how do you get them home? You push around a little cart or something? Sounds bad.

This is what the ‘51st State’ could actually mean, without calling it that. There are a decent number of Canadians who’d happily join an economic union with the United States — and they’re right. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Canada is a resource-rich nation governed by incompetent socialists who’ve turned our dollar into a joke. We need to think bigger. What would it actually look like? 1. One North American passport. Live, work, and travel freely between the two countries. No more border nonsense for actual citizens. 2. Ditch the pathetic Canadian dollar for the USD. End the currency weakness, inflation games, and ‘Trudeau peso’ embarrassment. 3. Total free trade. Zero tariffs. Integrated supply chains. North America becomes an economic fortress that China couldn’t dream of competing with. 4. Resources + American capital = explosion of wealth. Canada’s oil, minerals, and water paired with U.S. markets and investment. Actual prosperity instead of managed decline. 5. Harmonized regulations so doctors, engineers, and tradespeople can work anywhere without jumping through endless bureaucratic hoops. This isn’t becoming the 51st state. It’s two sovereign nations acting like adults and building the strongest economic bloc on Earth. Forget the European Union. It’s a weaker version of this. Canada’s current path is national suicide. Choose strength over feelings & TDS. Thoughts? 🇺🇸🇨🇦

Even if Albertans couldn’t keep provincial taxation of oil, they’d _still_ be better off as part of the US. Why? Oil would be developed on a scale currently unimaginable. The US would use the world’s 3rd largest oil reserves to achieve their long-desired goal of energy independence. Canada fights over one pipeline. Try ten. Even right now Alberta’s trade in oil with the US is more valuable than its trade in all goods with the rest of Canada. 110 billion vs 70.6 billion.
