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.

No offense, but I had to check that out (i.e. tying tariffs to submission for statehood). I think the reference is to this:

BBC: Trump halts plan for 50% steel and aluminium tariffs on Canada

He also criticised Canada for relying on the US for "military protection", and reiterated that he wanted the country to become the 51st US state.

He added that it "would make all tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear" if Canada were to join the US as a state.


So it's not exactly a conditional to remove tariffs, but a side-effect of becoming a state. Perhaps a minor distinction, but we aren't conservative media, so we strive for accuracy.

And it would still need to be at least 10 states (if not 13). Not just one. I do think Canada should ramp-up the electricity tariff (or just cut it off). Don't give the Felon anything. It just encourages him to do worse.
