Seriously, why isn't the Canadian government offering US states to join them? It would be the perfect response to Trumps bullshit.

You want Canada to submit to the US? Hey Oregon, California, and the others, wanna join us instead?

If California leaves the US it would fucking bankrupt the US.

On top of other responses, lots of folks are saying the conservatives are coming to power in Canada. Those conservatives would hate upsetting their advantage by contending with what would be an overwhelmingly liberal population.

America has already proven it's willing to go to war to keep territory, Canada doesn't want that fight.

We've defended ourselves twice from the USA before.

We'll just put up free guns signs pointing away all the way between our border and the Whitehouse and the path will be clear to burn it down again.

I don't think it's a serious comment. It's a joke to be shot back at Trump since he made comments about taking Canada

Only if there's oil involved
