Isn't that their national anthem? Eh?
The US anthem is The Star Strangled Grandma, or so Mad Magazine once said
July 01 is Canada Day
Slapshot a hockey puck then toast them with a glass of maple syrup
Then take your insulin for your diabetes
That much sugar is not good for you

Today Canada became a member of the European Broadcasting Union
And thus will participate in the 2027 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Eurovision Song Contest? HORRORS!
Monty Python, Benny Hill and others lampooned the show
Mind you, ABBA had their first hit, Waterloo, to win the contest
They almost won the year before with a song cowritten with Neil Sedaka
John in Wauwatosa
It's part of the Canada poison pill.
Can you think of anything else that would deter a US take-over of Canada more?
Ten provinces and three terrirories
If Canada were to join the USA, it wouldn't be the 51st state. Rather, each of the ten provinces would become states, number 51 through 60! Yukon, Northwest Territory, and Nunavut would remain territories until they obtained sufficient population to become states, if that were to ever happen.
Can you imagine the political tidal wave ten new states, all having previously been Canadian, would cause? Twenty new Senators, probably none of them MAGA.
Regardless of the state of the states
there's the number of members of the house and the electoral college.
A modest proposal
Maybe the Northeast and the west coast should petition to pretty please be admitted into the Canadian union. :) I’m not wild about the whole House of Windsor thing, but damn, I’d love to have my government run by Mark Carney

I used to be very anti-Eurovision Song Contest
Then it was held in my hometown. So many people had so much fun in the week leading up to the event. And very little drunkenness and aggressvie behaviour. Good, clean fun.
I still think the event itself is crap but something that brings so much joy to so many people and (except the last few years) without much hatred can't be all bad.
Well done Canada
That sends a clear message to Trumpf that their future is NOT as a satellite or a state of the USA.
The Eurovision thing is a downer. It long past time that the UK stopped paying around (AFAIK) 25% of the costs and withdrew from the sham event. IMHO, there is far too much tactical voting to make it a real competition.
Just my 0.02p worth still the day might end well with DR Congo beating England at Football in the World Cup.

I'm no football fan but ...
... I'm always glad if England/UK do well at anything, as, in fact, they did by winning 2-1, albeit on a wing and a prayer :) The big sporting event of the year starts at the weekend as far as I'm concerned - the Tour de France. However, I'm in full agreement with the rest of your post.
Happy Birthday, Canada
If it ever happened that you were an additional ten states (impossible, I know!) then Puerto Rico and Washington D,C. would also have to be added.
As for that song contest, if we (Australia) are silly enough to be in it, then why not?
