Maine Senator sent unprompted letters to Cdns to join the US

I apologize for these loons. Gah! Just when you think that they can’t embarrass this country even more, they do.

Hmmmm…wonder how that will go over for him with the majority of his constituents? It said he was a state legislator so I am not sure his area , but would guess he would get more push back than agreement.  But you never know.

I was wondering how many border states are actually doing the opposite and trying to distance their states from Trump’s idiotic, arrogant and just down right stupid weird obsession?  Even if it is only for “show”,  “play”, or whatever…he is hurting the citizens of his own country.  

If he is so concerned about and works so hard to help us,works harder and better than anyone has ever worked for the middle class for every US citizen…blah blah blah…why is he trying so hard to tank small business and peoples livelihoods in border states and towns over something that will never happen?  His well hated tariffs policies here, at least  seem like it is trying to do something. But this whole taunting of making them states is just hurting his own citizens and there is no way to spin it that you are trying to help them.

Burlington VT renamed Church Street temporarily to Rue Canada (for like a month).  People have been standing on overpasses by the border with thank you and welcome signs, etc.  There are  marinas up by the border where probably 40% of their slips are rented by Canadians and they are deciding not to continue to come to the states.   A huge % of my state’s tourist economy is Canadians.  There are so many Canadians that have camps and 2nd properties in areas that really need the business.  Why would try and hurt all these communities who rely the good relationship we have had with family, friends and people just across the border. 

Wow. What a tool.

And the US wonders why tourism is down. It's not because Vegas has outpriced themselves. It's not because the Canadian dollar is weak. Those things habe been like that for years. It's because we are not supporting this 51st state idea crap. We are quiet and don't wear our patriotism on our sleeve, and shirts and cars and houses but we are deeply patriotic. Yes we are similar to the US, compared to so many countries around the world and going to the US is familiar in many of the same stores, restaurants, products but it's superficial. Our similarities aren't at the core of what makes us and our country unique and ours, in those areas we are vastly different.

Wow, he's got more front than Sainsbury's!

I love Day's response, very dry, very concise but I fear some of the best points will go over the dumbass's head 

Again, as an American, I apologize for this shit show. We do not want Canada to be part of our country as a 51st, 52nd, whatever state. Please continue to avoid us like the plague!

“A chance to become the last best hope on earth..” 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

They just don’t make enough laughter emojis.

What an arrogante idiot! Great, intelligent response from the MLA

Very optimistic of you to think we're going to be allowed to do that.

And to echo the above post - his worldview as a MAGA state senator is not the American worldview. I believe we are a largely sane people who have allowed these morons to take over through apathy and complacency, and because many falsely believed that our elected leaders would generally hold themselves bound by the constitution.

You and me both! I cannot wait.

Meanwhile Maine tourism has plummeted this year and the people who own and work at businesses that cater to those missing tourists are worried about their livelihoods.


And what do their leaders do---make it worse, of course! Good job!
