Economic realities are the wild card when attempting predictions of the Trump Administration. Britain is an apt example. Their Central Bank will be bankrupted when Ukraine falls to Russia and those speculative loans/investments become worthless. Ditto for other EU "investors" who bet on raping Ukrainian resources as a means of keeping the plates spinning in their own economies. Trump will use his mojo to resuscitate the US economy from this debacle, but the EU is on their own when dealing with this crisis. Only a reconnection with Russian cheap energy can save them, and only if they find the will to do so. Hard times may become catastrophic in Europe with their large 3rd World immigration cohort, and then its Katy-bar-the-door time.
Like the thought. LIBOR and bank of England going bankrupt will be the first dominoe of the total global indebtedness. And it’s a big dominoe with how much England controlled.
The reality is that Canada is too big--including in population--to simply become the 51st as a single unit. More likely would be a disintegration if some provinces decided they could get a better deal by coming to a political arrangement with America. Or a reshuffling of the relationship as a whole, but not as the 51st. It would be a far more complicated process one way or another.
That’s why I never see it happening. Perhaps parts of Canada, but Quebec would never agree due to the French Language issue. Quebec would want to be independent.

When Trump invades Canada, the key will be rapid advances in the opening 48 hours to take advantage of Canada's odd force disposition.
The country's political and economic center of gravity is the urban corridor from Toronto to Montreal, but a significant share of the Canadian

Nah. He likes Sci-Fi.
The French comment included reference to the 1968 French Algerian agreement and revoking it. I’m not sure if that would be significant.
“ France must have the courage to denounce and put an end to the Franco-Algerian agreement of 1968, which has become a sector”
La France doit avoir le courage de dénoncer et de mettre un terme à l'accord franco-algérien de 1968, devenu une filière d'immigration à part entière.

Thanks.one day at a time.
There's no mention of Canada becoming the 51st US state. Why's that?

I’d take the Maritimes and the middle provinces, they can keep BC, Ontario and Quebec.
Exactly.
