Canada has a higher suicide rate than the US, by like 20%. Don’t you want a lower suicide rate for Canadians?

 

And yet we still live several years longer than the Americans.

Not once you hit 50 or 60. Then it’s the same.

If they gave every Greelander $1M cash and US citizenship, it would only cost $56B to buy.   Would they not go for that?

That’s actually a great strategy for acquiring the country.

“Come to the US Embassy building, renounce your citizenship to Greenland, Pledge Allegiance to the American flag, Receive 1 million dollars, And agree to put up an American flag on your property”


It would be interesting if they tried to do similar in Canada. But it would have to be a limited time offer.

Renounce your Canadian citizenship and pledge loyalty to America, collect $1 million, “while supplies last…”
You don’t need 100% of Canadians on board in order to take the country. Just a critical mass of young males, all of whom can be easily bribed and wooed, and are already tired of Trudeau’s misandrist rhetoric.

Dasmo thinks it’s Idiocracy. I think it’s gonna be more like beast games, sovereignty edition. Bribe us to annexation.

56,000 Greenlanders.  A lot cheaper than Canada at that price.

Are we talking tariffs on the raw metal, or manufactured items?

If it’s the raw metal, then Canadian manufacturing will be ok. It’ll likely even thrive, with aluminum producers turning to the domestic market with incentives.


Who do you think will buy all this aluminum in Canada?

Simple. We just change the name to aluminium and market it to the Brits.

Isn’t this a win for Mother Earth?

Maybe we shouldn’t be extracting so many resources to make aluminum.

Also, what are the Americans making with the aluminum? Weapons? Military machinery?

One talking head on cbc yesterday said the USA can indeed produce their own aluminum if they built the equivalent of six more Hoover dams.

Not going to happen any time soon.
