Nearly a fifth of Americans now ‘prefer’ that Canada become a U.S. state or territory, poll suggests

An increasing number of Americans are getting randy over Canada being a part of your Republic.

Whatever you offer Greenland you better triple it to try and woo Canada. We are not a cheap night out!

The poll also explored how Americans felt about conquering Greenland, Mexico, Cuba and more.

17 per cent of Americans support Canada becoming either a territory or the 51st State of the U.S. — but two-thirds stand by its sovereignty, a new poll suggests.



The findings come amid U.S. President Donald Trump‘s ambitions to seize Greenland, a self-governing territory of fellow NATO member Denmark, after capturing former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and toppling his government earlier this month.
But according to the survey by public opinion pollster Research Co., most respondents don’t want the U.S. to take over Greenland. Nor do they want Panama, Cuba or Mexico under American control.

“It’s a topic I never thought I would have to ask about,” said Mario Canseco, the president of Research Co. and author of the survey. “Americans are not looking at (Greenland) the same way Trump is looking at it.”

Published Monday, Canseco’s survey polled a representative sample of 1,002 adults across the U.S. from Jan 13 to 15. Here’s what it found.

What do Americans think of Canada becoming the 51st State?​

Although 66 per cent of respondents said they’d “prefer” Canada remain an independent nation, 10 per cent said they’d like to see it become a territory of the U.S. and seven per cent its 51st State.

Republicans were more likely to want Canada absorbed into the States, with 13 per cent wanting it to become a territory and 10 per cent an American state. But despite Trump’s messaging, 64 per cent of Republicans support Canada’s independence.

“It’s definitely a larger number (of people wanting Canada under U.S. control) than what we would have found prior to Donald Trump becoming president,” Canseco said. “The number is definitely significant. I mean, it’s one out of five.

“It doesn’t suggest that the public is completely on side, but there’s a group that could be growing,” he said. “I’m curious to ask this in six months and see where the situation stands.”

Last March, an Angus Reid Institute poll asked a similar question and found 60 per cent of Americans had “no interest in seeing” Canada join the U.S., while 32 per cent were “interested but only if Canadians want to.”
Canadians don’t want to, if the 90 per cent of Canucks who were against annexation in the poll were anything to go by.

Gee, you only have to convince another 55% of the country to make it happen. Good luck.

One out of 14 is nowhere near 1/5th.
But, it does not matter, as it is not America's choice, but Canada's choice. We should leave allies alone.

While I don't dispute that it is Canada's choice, six, it is also up to 38 states to approve it.

I guess you have to convince another 58% of Americans then.

What if say...

twenty or thirty million Americans moved up there, just in teh summer months, enough to establish residency,

and then they voted to join the UNION.

Would that be legit in your eyes, you know, cause lol, BORDERs, a racist concept right man?

Why let more libs in

I dont have to a damn thing, it isnt my poll and I am just a bystander.

As it were, a rather voluptuous American woman sent me a "like" on a dating app. I might have responded if she lived in a warmer climate down south but she is from up north. Trading one cold place for another doesnt make sense. The cold is killing me when the Creepy Ones arent.

Still, it seems Canadians are in demand!

Dating app? You and fbj, LOL. I prefer the personal touch--or at least I did 53 years ago when I was looking.

Only one-in-fourteen Americans think Canada, Greenland or Panama should become American states.

 

[BackAgain]

I want Canada to remain Canada.

Who needs more liberals, especially in Congress?

Along those lines, if Denmark cares to SELL Greenland, then along the lines of the Louisiana Purchase or Seward’s Folly, I’d like to see Greenland become a U.S. territory.

So do I, but I am a shattered man. With so much persecution and dealing with hell the last number of years, I need to take life slow and be picky.

Forget Canada, we have enough libs. Greenland? Maybe for security and rare earths. But Panama should at least be an American territory. The Monroe doctrine demands it.

Does Canada allow residents who are not Canadian citizens vote in Canadian national elections and referendums?
That is crazy, if it is true.

As I recall, some Canadian provinces have had "separation" referendums in the past and had significant numbers signing the referendums, but when it gets down to voting, they don't vote to leave Canada.
The way I see it (being in the US), the primary reason for Alberta and Saskatchewan wanting to leave Canada, boils down to economics and most of the citizens in those two provinces are leftists and the last thing we need down here in the US, are more leftists.

Yeah.
Put me in the "Not Interested" group.
I have some lovely Canadian friends. And it's a beautiful country.
But I don't want to absorb their socialism and other issues.
Let 'em sort out things their way, we'll do it our way.

I visit the country a few times a year and I like the nearby ski area--but I don't want to live with their liberal views or government---or taxes.
