Republican Rep. Chuck Kopp of Alaska, which shares a border with the Yukon and is separated from the contiguous U.S. by Canada, says the state doesn’t support the president’s trade war and annexation bid against Canada.

He has proposed a joint resolution in the state legislature that would affirm Canada’s sovereignty and recognize the enduring, centuries-old ties between Alaska and Canada.

      Republicans: Manifest destiny is back!

      Canada: okay, Alaska is joining us

      Republicans: Not like that!

      Alaska is a Republican state. They would rather die than get universal healthcare just in case it helps someone poorer than them.

      I mean, it makes geographical sense, it logically and physically should be part of Canada. Let’s annex it, who’s with me?

        If California were to join Canada, the US would be bankrupt and destitute within a week

          I thought destitution was illegal!
