It’s also possible that he (or his advisors) see Canada as a vassal state that should adhere more closely to the desires of their overlords in Washington. The technicalities are significant, but putting the right politicians in the right places would achieve their goals equally. It’s not like the USA hasn’t done this before with other countries.

Canadians don’t want to be the 51st state – and Americans don’t really want us.

No need to install puppet leaders when Canadians massively voluntarily consume American media.
We should also all collectively as a world, only refer to him as donald. Kill his brand name. Calling him by his last name only enables his brand to remain.

Canada will never be a US state. The US has never dealt with us honestly or fairly, so why would they elevate us to statehood when they can just make us Puerto Rico North™?
We would be subjugated and pillaged. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking otherwise.
If Canada does become part of the United States, it won’t be as a state. It will be as an occupied territory
Unanimous provincial consent would mean that any slight interest in consideration starts with 10 new states. Guam is not an option, and neither is a single state. I would rather pay North Korea to nuke the Permean bassin, to any of that.
