@tod the US may try to steamroll Canada but as the US has found in every war it has lost since the end off WWII (all of them) 1) you need boots on the ground & 2) a country that wants the US
Canada doesn’t want to be the 51st state. It is stupid to think we would
So it would start an ugly war of hit and run! Where the foes look just like the US. Where the foes can wander across the longest undefended border in the world and bring the fight to US soil.

@Lana And you should see the shelves in Canada right now. The LCBO (provincial liquor store) has been completely reconfigured so that there's no American product anywhere. It's like the USA doesn't market any alcohol.
Grocery stores have full shelves of American products and produce that no one's touching, and anything Canadian or European is selling like crazy. It's an unreal retail experience. Unreal. #Never51 #ElbowsUp
#trump doesn’t respect veterans so he likely doesn’t care. But #gop knows the importance of the US military and their allies.
Pay attention - you are burning bridges.

The image contains a social media post by a user named "kare_audr" with a Canadian flag emoji. The post reads: "Quite aside from the damage to goodwill, which is already incalculable, the US is no longer a safe supplier of unprocessed food, because it's no longer tracking outbreaks of infections. No sane purchaser will buy produce that might contain E. coli, dairy that might contain listeria, meat that might contain salmonella, and the US is keeping it secret. Boycotting American produce, meat and dairy isn't just a matter of Canadian patriotism, it's also a matter of public health."

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.
While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more.
Put forward by William McKinley, who was a Congressman at that point, the Tariff Act put duties across imports ranging from 38% to 49.5%.
McKinley was called the Napoleon of Protection. While some items had tariffs eliminated, most had tariffs increased.
One reason for the tariffs was to force the annexation of Canada. The McKinley Tariff declined to make an exception for Canadian products.
It was hoped this would make Canada more reliant on the US market, and push Canadians to become the 45th state.
Secretary of State James G. Blaine believed that annexation would eliminate competition with Canada over fishing and timber rights. Blane co-authored the Tariff Act.
He stated of annexation: "a grander and nobler brotherly love, that may unite in the end”
British politician Lyon Playfair saw the Tariff Act for what it was. He called it a covert attack on Canada.
Both Britain and the United States believed the Tariff Act would drive Canada to join the United States.
In reality, it had the complete opposite result.
The Tariff Act instead pushed Canada to align itself more with Britain. People began to rally behind their "love for Queen, flag, and country".
Sir John A. Macdonald used the tariffs as a rallying cry in the 1891 election and was able to win another majority government.
Within two years of the Tariff Act being passed, agricultural exports to Britain from Canada went from $3.5 million to $15 million.
Produce and animal exports to Britain grew from $16 million to $24 million during that same period.
