While the notion of Canada becoming a U.S. State may seem like another one of Trump's unfiltered comments, it is an idea that precedes Trump and it is not as far fetched as one might think.
Prince Edward Island has about a third the population of Wyoming, our least populous (sp!) state, so whether she would qualify for statehood by 21st-century standards is debatable, or even 19th. The traditional measure was always enough residents for at least one Congressional district. Nevada is a glaring exception; according to Nick Seabrook in his recent book on gerrymandering, she didn't "qualify" until 1970. Lincoln just needed a couple more states to shore up his reelection chances.
Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949 not 1934, after a referendum.

Canada should not be admitted until the Democrat Party has been outlawed.
Very thorough explanation of the issue. If anything, just the exploration of it will open some eyes in the U.S. as to what is going on to the north.
