Just listened to an interesting podcast Why Isn’t Canada the 51st State? in Dan Snow’s History Hits. It gives the issue a historical perspective. It was in the 19th century that Canada came closest to becoming part of the U.S. Good stuff.

And here we go with the travel bans.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-...-ban-1.7552797
Quote:
U.S. President Donald Trump resurrected a hallmark policy of his first term, announcing that citizens of 12 countries would be banned from visiting the United States and those from seven others would face restrictions.
The ban takes effect Monday at 12:01 a.m., a cushion that avoids the chaos that unfolded at airports nationwide when a similar measure took effect with virtually no notice in 2017. Trump, who signalled plans for a new ban upon taking office in January, appears to be on firmer ground this time after the Supreme Court sided with him.
Some, but not all, 12 countries also appeared on the list of banned countries in Trump's first term. The new ban includes Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
There will be heightened restrictions on visitors from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.

Meh, I think temporary travel/ immigration bans are warranted at this point, or would be for Canada. When you have a "multicultural" system in place that bends so wantonly to the needs of special interest culture groups and essentially allows them to form insular communities within the country, you need to be choosy with the tap. I am not sure if this applies to the US the same way, but I certainly see a growing need for it here.

Probably an incel or two on CP that would be happy to sponsor you. Not saying that's what you're after in a man, but meh, could be a sure thing to get you into Canada and then you could dump him first chance you get once you're settled and upgrade from there.

Have you considered emigration? There’s a nearby aspiring ethnostate that would be perfect for you.

It'll be interesting how long the love fest lasts with Elon, they both like power and control, and as soon as that comes to a conflict in a position they feel is important, well, negotiating compromise positions isn't exactly something either of them are capable of. I give it until April.

Well I was a bit too pessimistic, but the derailment is well under way, and it'll be interesting too see how much of the behind the scenes ####ery gets lobed as grenades between these two. It's gonna be explosive.

I love that the state of American politics is such that I could totally see this being a work by both of them to get something more nefarious done.
