The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Its unclear why Trump (his intentions are often hard to interpret) but more generally MAGA or Republicans are keen on adding Canada as a 51st state.

No one is. It's a running joke that the media and the democrats don't get.

Marco Rubio explained it in an interview with Catherine Herridge:
bignewsnetwork.com - Rubio explains trumps stance on canada becoming state

In an interview with Canadian-American journalist Catherine Herridge published on Thursday, Rubio recalled a conversation between Trump and Trudeau, in which the latter allegedly suggested that Canada would be unable to cope with increased tariffs.

"Trudeau says, 'if you impose [new tariffs], if you even out our trade relationship, then we will cease to exist as a country.' At which point the president responded very logically, and that is 'if you can't exist without cheating and trade, then you should become a [US] state'," Rubio said.

...which clearly indicates he was telling Trudeau Come on, man.
