Probably, we've been functionally the 51st state for a long time, it's only Trump's clumsy attempts to close the deal that is finally making people aware of the fact. And our politicians lie straight to our faces about it, they do it while saying they aren't, while saying they won't, and they've done so for decades. Because they know we really don't want to be so attached to the US, but they do it anyway and if challenged just say it is necessary. Necessary for the US, maybe. Necessary for the politicians, maybe. Nice to see Canadians fight back and prove it is not necessary.
