In the Trump administration, voices are increasingly being heard that after Canada, it is Australia's turn to become
the 52nd American state. There is no doubt that many Australians would be more than happy to finally be free of British colonial rule.

When Trumpy has destroyed what is left of the US health care industry no one will want to join the US, can see California moving to become part of Mexico again, states like Washington will want to join Canada.

That assumes the orange buffoon implements the 2025 project recommendations when the nation will fall apart, secession rampant etc in  months.

Trudeau is deeply unpopular – according to an Ipsos poll from last month, 73 per cent of Canadians, including 43 per cent of Liberal voters, believed Trudeau should step down as party leader.

Perhaps no issue drives that more than the economy. In her resignation letter, Freeland called out Trudeau’s “costly political gimmicks”, a reference to his $C6.3bn ($7bn) affordability plan that included sending $C250 cheques to everyone in the country making less than $C150,000 a year. Canada’s government, once a model of fiscal prudence, now runs massive deficits to fund increasingly ineffective social programs.

Trudeau’s runaway taxing and spending have made Canadians poorer, in part due to his signature carbon tax, which has reduced real incomes across the country. Before the pandemic, Canada’s per capita GDP was about 80 per cent of America’s. In 2025 it will be just 70 per cent, according to International Monetary Fund projections.

Donald Trump jokes that Canada should become a state, but if it somehow became one it would be among the poorest in the union.
...
Crime
Violent crime has skyrocketed under Trudeau’s leadership. Homicides rose by more than 50 per cent between 2014 and 2022, and on a per capita basis there is now more violent crime there than in the US. This, again, is a direct result of Trudeau’s policies, which have increasingly gone easy on criminals, even explicitly giving lighter sentences to people of colour who’ve been convicted of crimes. It’s an astounding turnaround for a country that long kept serious violence confined to ice hockey rinks and subarctic bars.



There are certain things that simply can’t be wished away. Things such as Islamic fundamentalism, the societal downsides of mass immigration, rising crime and stagnant economics. Trudeau – who, in a fit of desperation in October, tried to reverse his immigration policies – learned these lessons too late. He is the latest casualty of the great crack-up. But he will not be the last.

Canada is about elect a Conservative government in a landslide.

Australia and Canada have decent education and health insurance systems.

In the US you take out a second mortgage for a minor treatment. And Trumpy is going to make that MUCH worse! MUCH, MUCH worse—he has to get the money to pay the oligarchs HUGE tax cuts from somewhere!

My dear very roo'table Marla.
Australia isn't about 'War', it's about SUICIDE.
If it wasn't for Australia, the USA would have no allies and friends. The entire world would be against a 'villainous' USA.
We keep America from self destructing and imploding.
We keep America from becoming isolated in the world with its shoddy archaic western flawed politics and shooting itself. We're used to isolation, incarceration and an invasion is just a new Social stimulus like visiting hours in a prison.

Let's not forget that the BIG 3 of rape, murder and war atrocities and crimes were YANKEES, NAZIS, SOVIETS
...During World War Two in Europe.

Japanese women raped in in the Pacific wars.
Vietnamese women raped in the Vietnam war.

Australian women raped by American soldiers in Darwin.


Good old CHEAP MASS PRODUCTION LOW QUALITY CONSCRIPTED - American style.

Nobody hates Australia. The USA has an obligation to take care of our friends. The latest poll found that 83% of Australians want to join America.
I think it would be wonderful to fulfill the wish of most Aussies for their country to become the 51st state of the USA. The sooner the better.

Some 57.3% of Greenland’s population supports US President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal
to make the island an American territory, a new survey has suggested.

Nonsense. If Australia didn't get involved via USA and Great Britain, Nihon would not have wasted itself against Australia that would not have provided them any real advantage.

I don't know where you get your crazy American propaganda polls from? But after Vietnam and the recent lie of weapons of mass destruction Iraq. Australia has moved in Public view with New Zealand against involvment with self absorbed USA military agendas. Only the USA gimps known as Prime Ministers here 'dictate' by force any involvement with your Privatised fake political nation of being the most invasive nation on the planet and being responsible for putting Dictators in power to keep their nations weak for American National Security.

Politically, the USA is a rogue Nation. Any affiliation with your America has made us a target for YOUR enemies, where there would be none.

This is why Australia could have a Civil War. To expel your American loyalists back to America.

Then out of the British Frying Pan (of committing crimes in England, not here)
And into the American Fire you go (committing crimes here in Australia).

Your choice.

Charles is an entertainer.
He stays out of Politics.

If Australia had a leader.
It would be via the Art Industry, not Politics.

The future PMs will be sex grubs with a harem of concubines in the most poorest of areas.

Well it's obvious that idiots like Capitosonora can't distinguish between the politics of Great Britain and the royal entertainment industry of the United Kingdom.

Trump is a feudal baron who is lawless and aggressive? Barron is a baron?

Scotland is Maga and United Kingdom is MacDonald's. Ukraine is Have here and take-away.

Trump is moving on Moscow and taxing Putin at 5%GDP to send equipment to Ukraine.

I agree....However Australia is already a defacto State of the U.S.A....Australia have entered every war the U.S.A. has entered with or without good reason....Australia will do what the U.S.A. tells us to do unfortunatly!!!

The Prime Ministers of the modern era have always served the USA interests.
The Governor Generals serve Great Britain.
Rudd served China a bit and the USA made sure he was replaced by Gillard who was given a standing ovation in the USA by their Congress for being a good loyal dog.

The Prime Ministers will ALWAYS put the USA's interests before that of any domestic Australian interest.

If you thought Great Britain was a frying pan, the USA is definitely the Fire.
