DC_Draino Explains Why We Don’t Need Canada as the 51st State – Here Are the Numbers Every MAGA Supporter Needs to See
Conservative firebrand DC_Draino dropped a truth bomb on X yesterday that’s got every MAGA supporter nodding in agreement: Canada as the 51st state would be a disaster for Republicans—and for America. In a post that’s racked up thousands of shares, DC_Draino broke down the numbers, showing exactly why President Trump’s playful suggestion to bring Canada into the fold would backfire. For those who bleed red, white, and blue, these figures are a wake-up call.
Canada’s population sits at 41 million, just shy of California’s 39 million, but DC_Draino points out they’re “even more liberal.” He crunches the electoral math with precision: if Canada became a state, it would likely mean two guaranteed Democrat Senate seats, a net gain of 25 Democrat House seats (out of roughly 50 new seats), and a whopping 50+ Electoral College votes for Democrats every election. The result? Republicans would be locked out of the White House and House majority—forever. “They didn’t grow up learning about the Revolutionary War, free speech, owning guns, and liberty,” DC_Draino argues, a sentiment echoed by Simply4Truth_, who replied, “Canada is a socialist mess. We don’t need their votes diluting ours.”
The X thread paints a grim picture. Canada’s recent election saw the Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, secure 169 seats, falling just short of a majority, while the Conservatives lagged at 144, per BBC data. Alberta may lean conservative, but the country as a whole is a bastion of progressive policies—think universal healthcare and strict gun control—that clash with MAGA values. DC_Draino’s question cuts to the core: “What is the value of adding Canada as a state that we can’t achieve with trade deals?” The answer, for many, is nothing.
Trump’s base is fired up. Replies to DC_Draino’s post, like those from George and Amuse, suggest making Canada a territory instead—reaping economic benefits without giving them voting rights. For now, the numbers don’t lie: Canada’s inclusion would tip the scales in favor of Democrats, a nightmare scenario for the GOP. As DC_Draino put it, this isn’t about friendship—it’s about preserving the America we love.
