On Behalf of all Canadians

Recently, the President-elect showed a noticeable lack of respect when he opined that "Wouldn't it be great if Canada became the fifty-first state?" I have a proposal for the President-elect and forgive me if I am less than circumspect. Instead of imposing your country on us, let America become a Canadian province! That way, all Americans would get universal health-care, as opposed to your system which is grossly unfair. And say what you want about our flaws, but at least we have strict gun control laws. (And on that point - although I know you don't care - mass shootings in Canada are extremely rare.) Also, here in the land of Northern Lights, we have respect for women's reproductive rights. Yes, Mr. President-elect, I know my country is not perfect, but, unlike you, we know a thing or two, about respect.
