The 51st State

Canada is, in essence…the 51st state.

Canadians watch American TV. They subscribe to Netflix, Prime, Disney and others. They love American movies, American music, the Oscars, the Grammys, Golden Globes while generally shunning and ridiculing the Juno’s. They follow CNN, MSNBC, late night with Colbert, Kimmel et al. They shop online with Amazon, Wayfair, Spotify and religiously follow their favorite NFL Team while belittling the CFL as some kind of bad joke.  They idolize cultural icons like Mike Myers, William Shatner, Neil Young, Joni  Mitchell, Drake, Bieber, Ackroyd and many others, all of whom consider themselves American citizens or they live in the US, or who owe their success to American largess. They know where their bread is buttered and it is not in Canada. They are proud of Canadian hockey players like Gretzky, Crosby and others who live in the US and are paid in US dollars as the Canadian dollar is known currently as the northern Peso. Canadians know more about the US political scene then they do about their own country’s political leaders and issues. The number one issue of this election, as some polls and party leaders are suggesting, is Trump. That is indicative of the fact that by following and showing their anti Americanism or demonstrating their Trump Derangement Syndrome, Canadians are US Democrat Party proxies. By trashing and vandalizing Teslas, they are demonstrating their environmental hypocrisy and support of the Democrats. And why? Musk works for the US government, not the Canadian government. If Canadians hate Americans and the US so much, explain Snowbirds to me, or those who love to participate in cross border shopping. In my mind, Canada may be Canada but that is in name only. In reality and by default Canada is the 51st state of the USA.
