Dear American friends,

Just to be clear, Canada will never become a 51st state. There was a reason that United Empire Loyalists left your country for Canada after independence. Not only did they not share your vision, but they didn’t trust you to ensure their safety. So here we are again!

Hey Michigan, how about becoming our 11th province? Just think about it: no tariffs on materials passing back and forth between borders to service our co-dependent auto industry, universal health care with small premiums linked to income (lowest income pays nothing), a welcoming and supportive population that embraces and celebrates our diversity of cultures, races and religions.

Join the Great White North!

2. It should play out exactly like that great scene from Godfather II

The next time Trump makes a demand on Trudeau, he should activate his inner Michael Corleone:

"Here's my offer: Nothing. We will not even renew our existing trade agreements with the United States. And I would appreciate it if you would personally gift to Canada the following:
Michigan
northern New York State
Manhattan
Miami Beach
We'll also like Mar-a-Lago--as a personal favor to a relative of mine. And I'd like the transfer of that property completed by this coming Monday if you don't mind..."

3. I'd love to be part of Canada!

Let's start a movement here in the great state of Michigan!
