Well, Nick, they are retarded
Sadly, we are.
All it takes is a little anti-american fake nationalism and all sins are forgiven. Especially with the boomers.
That being said, I still think this is like the fake polling bump Kamala got. Prior to Trudeau announcing his resignation, the Liberals were in #3, and we were on track for #2 to be a regional party that only exists in one province. It's still entirely possible we see a massive victory for the conservatives, and Poilievre is still on track to a majority in the latest polls regardless, the only question at the moment is how big it'll be and who'll be in #2.
There's also Canadian precedent for this. Kim Campbell was a conservative who became prime minister in a situation like this, and the polls said the conservatives could win, and the result was 15 years of Liberal dominance (and that wasn't so bad back then, it was a different party than it is today)

The two things aren't mutually exclusive. I both despise our politicians and yours alike.
I don't think becoming a US state would be the worst possible outcome, but at the same time, I think that culturally there's a bit too much of a divide across that narrow border to make the prospect particularly appealing for either side. Our politicians are definitely serious fuckwits, but 'Murica's politicians remind me of a cross between guests on the Jerry Springer show and cannibals from the Texas Chainsaw massacre, which in some respects I think perfectly reflects the population itself. I kinda like having a border with armed guards protecting us from that as much as possible.

@toiletpaper If Canada were to become 51st state, I think it should be a slow 10 year process with several points of exit and voter referendum. Remember the philosopher Abraham Lincoln said, once you join, you get salted earth is you try to leave.

Correct. And less of us are happy about that than the government wants you to think
