US media seems to be sanewashing the annexation threats as a "joke", but we take it very seriously up here. Your president has said many times that it's not a joke. Believe him.
Kristi Noem went to a library that straddles the border and repeatedly stepped back and forth, saying "51st state" every time she stepped into Canada: https://www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/dhs-secretary-kristi...

This was in the WSJ on March 24th in an article about Canadian travel:
>"The administration has held firm on its messaging. “Canadians will no longer have to worry about the inconveniences of international travel when they become American citizens as residents of our cherished 51st state,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said."

An administration official has a new comment more or less on a daily basis about how it's inevitable they'll take us over.
Does JD Vance on Greenland count?
Canadians were always insecure, the recent events just exacerbated it and brought it to the fore. Canadians have to have a hard look at themselves, they overall fare poorly on many fronts: jobs, taxes, housing and (gasp!) healthcare compared to the US. If they fared better they would not feel so threatened/outraged. I'm however pessimistic that they are capable of that level of introspection, because the smartest/wisest Canadians have already left and immigrated to the US. These smart/wise people always knew their country was sub-par despite the delusional rhetoric of superiority that Canadians often indulge in against the US (we have 'free' healthcare!).
