Canada's PM Drops new BOMBSHELL On Donald Trump.
Trump Cabinet confirmation process already falling apart.
Trump wants Canada's water
In response to Trump's 51st state threat Elizabeth May the Canadian lawmaker may proposes California, Oregon, Washington join Canada.
The basic idea of 'Cascadia' (The "Cascadia idea" refers to a concept that defines a distinct geographic region in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada, encompassing parts of Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, and sometimes southern Alaska, based on shared environmental characteristics and cultural ties, rather than existing political borders; essentially viewing this area as a single "bioregion" called Cascadia, often with a focus on environmental sustainability and local autonomy within this region) is to calve off B.C., Washington and Oregon to form a super-rich hyper-progressive enviro-state
The leader of the Green Party of Canada and sitting member of Canadian lawmaker Elizabeth May, offered to accept Washington, Oregon, and California as new Canadian provinces in a press conference Monday.
Canadian officials are unanimous in dismissing President-elect Donald Trump’s remarks about Canada becoming the 51st state of the United Sates of America, saying the comments are no longer a joke and are meant to undermine America’s closest ally.
“I don’t want to belittle Trump,” She said. “We got a deal for you. You think we want to be the 51st state? Nah. Maybe California would like to be the 11th province. How about it? California, Oregon, Washington.”
Elizabeth May called on the state of California governor Gavin Newsom, the state of Oregon governor Tina Kotek, and the state of Washington governor Jay Inslee to “put a referendum to your citizens” whither they still remain part of the federal system of the United States of America or they want to share their sovereignty with the Canada.
“Have we got a deal for you,” May added. “This is what you get. Free health care, Universal free healthcare. No more one-year-olds who suddenly fall of the Medicaid list and their parents are in the news because they’re trying to do a GoFundMe so they can get their daughter a doctor.”
“Guess what,” she continued. “Those gun laws that your Congress is too afraid to pass because of the national gun lobby, we already got our strict gun laws. That’s why we have the safest streets in the world.”
The point person of Canada for U.S.-Canada relations, Dominic LeBlanc, stated that what began as a joking comment has become a way for Trump “to sow confusion, to agitate people, to create chaos knowing this will never happen.” Trump first made the comment at a dinner with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in November.
Trump dominated with a thought process of colonial age, has repeatedly floated the idea, saying he would use “economic force” instead of military action to acquire Canada. He also inaccurately described the United States trade deficit with Canada as a subsidy.
The data support the Ontario Premier Doug Ford statement that, Canada ships 4.3 million barrels of crude oil per day to the United States, accounting for about 60% of America’s total energy imports. The United States consumes about 20 million barrels a day, while domestically producing about 13.2 million barrels a day.
LeBlanc stated that Trump’s rhetoric is “becoming very counterproductive.” He has been in contact with incoming Trump administration officials to improve border security in an attempt to avert a 25% tariff threatened on all Canadian goods.
LeBlanc, recently appointed after the previous finance minister’s abrupt resignation, also announced he won’t seek to replace Trudeau as Prime Minister, to focus on the tariff threat. Trudeau announced his resignation on Monday and will stay on until a new Liberal leader is chosen.
“The timing is awful for sure,” said Liberal lawmaker Judy Sgro, regarding the change of leadership. “But we will do what we have to do to ensure that Canada stands strong.” When asked about Trump’s remarks, Sgro responded, “He should focus on his own issues in his own country, because he’s got lots of them.”
