“Despite a recent CBC poll that showed Canadians are increasingly less inclined to feel ‘very proud to be Canadians,’ nevertheless this is irrelevant to the Canadian love-hate relationship with the United States. It can be explained partly by the fact that Canadians are not jingoistic nationalists. Canadians are inherently modest. Proud but not excessively so. … But there are other reasons why Canada will not become the 51st state. One is that polling during the American election showed a strong preference among Canadians for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump. 64% to 21% with 15% undecided. So if Canada became a state it would be a blue state, something that would come as a rude awakening to the Trumpanistas. Canada would be the largest state by both territory and population. So Canada as a state would have at least as many representatives as California — 52, with the majority of them Democratic.” (01/16/25)
