See this seems like a nationalist thing but it's also a systemic illiteracy thing

Making a wild guess here, Canada has higher literacy than USA. Checking my "wild guess":
UNESCO Institute for Statistics 2025 Canada 99% USA 86%
I'm also pretty danged sure we, US citizens, maybe not our government, need more friends.
Edit: And for a long time have needed better education. sigh.
Canada has the highest percentage of university educated people in the world.

63% of Canadians have post secondary education. 54% of Americans can’t read at a grade 6 level.

Time to remove that half of the building lying on the Canadian side.
Only one "probably in the world", someone hasn't been to europe
Why don't they just donate that slip of land to canada?
They're probably saying the same thing on their end, but asking about us giving ours to them.
Perhaps that's where the 51th state comes in :p
Why not just add a door on the Canadian side?
Wait I thought there was?
