A Maine politician sent Canadians an unprompted offer to join the US
-
Brennan Day, who serves in British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly as a member of the Conservative Party, said he received Martin’s letter and was not sure how many other officials received it.
“Honestly, I couldn’t believe it’s legitimate, but we reached out to [Martin’s] office,” Day told a Vancouver radio station. “It is a legitimate memo.”
Martin, who served his first term in the Maine Senate this year and is retired from a career in the international mineral extraction industry, did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
Day posted Aug. 6 to Facebook an open response to Martin’s letter that said it “reads like a recruitment brochure for a political ideology,” and Day told Martin “you are operating well outside of your lane sir, so allow me to operate well outside of mine.”
Day took offense to several parts of Martin’s letter, including the Maine senator’s reference to “Canadian political baggage” and how the provinces becoming states would feature no “British monarchism, no bilingual federal documents [and] no imported bureaucracies.”
If the provinces became U.S. states, Martin also wrote that for “millions of people currently frustrated by central authority, moral decay, and bureaucratic suffocation, that reward is liberty.”
Day told Martin he holds “deep respect” for the U.S. and its citizens, but the Canadian lawmaker said the letter “lands more as a manifesto of arrogance.”
“Your letter is a perfect example of what many Canadians find so deeply troubling about the American worldview — assuming that what works for you must be the solution for everyone else,” Day added.

Can we send him one back asking for Maine?

Okay, how about this: Canada and the sane rational people of Maine team up to launch this bastard into space.

Not all of Maine. People with his world view are welcome to stay in their “liberated” country.

Oh. Yeah, there’s no moral decay in the US.
You have a guy in the Epstein files as president, who was best buds with Epstein while he was sex trafficking, walked in on underage girls at his pageants, has taken bribes, convicted of fraud, found guilty of rape, using the office for billions of dollars in personal gains, etc.
And your “liberty” involves using the military as police and building concentration camps for your undesirables.
No, YOU have the problems with central authority as you quickly allow the president to exceed his constitutional authority. YOU have the problem of moral decay. YOU have the problem of bureaucratic suffocation as the big companies weaponize the legal system and the executive funds them and cracks down on anti trust.
I don’t want your version of liberty. It is everything but.
lib•er•ty l’libardē | noun (plural liberties)
the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behavior, or political views: compulsory retirement would interfere with individual liberty.
How’s that working out for your LGBTQ citizens? How about your minorities being fired for their race and sex from the pentagon and government roles? How about forced pregnancy and abortion rights? How about withholding aid from blue states due to their votes?
We certainly do have liberty here, whereas in the US only the billionaires who grovel at the president’s feet have any such right.

Even describing what is happening in the USA as “working” is a helluva stretch.

Hell no. People there elected this moron.
We don’t want any part of that.

How could anyone look at what’s happening in the US right now and think “count me in!”?

There is no moral decay in the US. I look at the federal government and see no semblance of morals of any kind. I don’t think the US has ever been a biome consistent with morals. Decay implies that something has once existed

stay off of the book of faces; your eyeballs going onto that platform pays Facebook, Facebook in turn donates to Trump. I personally want Carney to bring back the DST, when trade negotiations inevitably fail. If Carney has the balls to do it retro actively as the plan was originally Facebook will be losing money rather than making money!

This could have been a gas, if he had a friendlier relation to the recipient and it wasn’t quite so measured. And if weren’t such a trying time politically.
Basically if he’d hammed it up a bunch and worked both the timing and audience better, he coulda had something.
