Canada's contribution to the problem is almost non-existent.
Trump wants Canada to become the 51st state.
oh well here is too the good old pre-woke days up there 🍻

If he really wants a 51st state under his term, he should advocate for it to be Puerto Rico. It's bigger in both size and area than many of the smaller states, it is already U.S. territory and they have actually had referendums showing they want statehood.
The fact that it is not a state is actually somewhat of an embarrassment too. I mean the rallying cry of the U.S.A. was no taxation without representation and sure, they don't pay most federal income, but they still pay into some of the service programs (it's not less taxation without representation). More importantly the reason it wasn't inducted as a state once conquered was some racist fear of miscegnation between the Puerto-ricans and the mainlands, which is a crappy reason by modern sensibilities. This should be a no-brainer decision. Puerto Rico has been in the line for a long time.
All they'd have to do is afford it a couple of senators, an appropriate number of representatives in the house and stitch a star in the flag. Maybe start charging them federal income tax too, which would be good for revenue and cut down on the debt.
I mean seriously, as of the last census it would have been the 27th largest state by population, and the third smallest state by landmass (it's bigger than Delaware and Rhode Island.
Granted, I suppose there are reasons for the U.S.A. to want Canada. Annexing canada would make the resultant nation the largest in the world, and give it an abundance of resources to exploit.
But Canada doesn't want in at this point in time and Puerto Rico has been waiting in line for quite some while now. Makes a heck of a bunch more sense than Greenland. Greenland barely has enough people to populate a smallish city throughout all of its costal settlements. He wants to give maybe 57,000 people two senators and at least one representative in the house. v_v
