  1. Canada had a very delicate time winkling US bases out of the country, back in the 1950's. Today there are none, but there are 156 active duty American armed forces personnel in the country. Some are liaison "officers," some NORAD staff. The number of Canadians on active service in the US is probably slightly larger, but I can't find it, dammit! Some would be involved with NORAD, some through NATO. Canadian Forces planning for repulsion of any American invasion was curtailed in 1937. It is not at all clear whether it was Canadians who burned down the White House in 1812; arguably it was "the British," and Canada did not become an independent country until 1867. (The spate of recent news articles saying 1937 are simply wrong: some idjit is confused about a few updates old olde tyme regulations.) Some American mob invaded from Buffalo during the War of 1812, but they were rounded up at Fort York, in Western Toronto and probably just shipped back to the US. Benedict Arnold threatened to invade Canada in 1776, three years before his name became synonymous with treason; his force petered out somewhere in the middle of upstate New York. Donald Trump is an idiot, and the US has made an international fool of itself letting him into their politics; he makes Americans poorer and America weaker every time he opens his mouth, hell, gets out of bed. Everything he has ever said about Canada is just stoo-pid, to use the technical term. In any discussion of Canadian statehood, remember that Canada is ten Provinces and three Territories. Thus you'd be looking at 20, or perhaps 26, Canadian Senators. That would be the end of Republican power in the Senate for a generation or two.
