  • 51st state

    From Ward Dossche@2:292/854 to All on Fri Dec 27 00:59:48 2024
    Now that Canada will become the 51st state of the USA, can this echo be discontinued?

    I say we keep this echo around and explore adding 51 new provinces (including Puerto Rico) to Canada instead. That seems more plausible.

    Hi Ward!

    My impression was that there is some other country that could be the 51st. Have we watched different movies?

    we watched different movies?

    I have seen movies and TV shows that depict a future where the following
    are the 51st state:

    -- Vietnam
    -- Israel
    -- Cuba

    In this instance, Ward's joke is about something Donald Trump said about
    making Canada the 51st state. Trump was probably taking a poke at Justin Trudeau, but it does sort of show a lack of understanding of how big Canada
    is, and how the different provinces (like our US states) all have different laws, administrations, etc.

    Excluding Hawaii, they never wanted to be a state anyway... they still seem a bit pissed about it actually..

    Well... The orange one is in 'power' now.. and the bullshit rhetoric hasn't ended. Its amazing how one man can tank an economy and piss off literally a planet in 3 short months is literally breathtaking.
