saw this meme pass in my FB feed. Got some background on the story and, although true, the definition of Canada has changed...
article 11: If "Canada" (as the British-held Province of Quebec was also known) accedes to this confederation, it will be admitted.[15] No other colony could be admitted without the consent of nine states.

Yeah as others had mentioned "Canada" attacked the White House. That is somewhat true. It was under British rule. Also we did not gain our indipendence in 1776. That's when the decleration was written. Didn't become our own country until 1781.

I think that so long as the Americans are willing to bend a knee and except Canadian rule then that could work for the Americans but it would be a real burden for Canadians.

Not surprising, it was widely believed in revolutionary and post revolutionary America that Canada was the "14th colony" that had only been kept from joining the US by geographic isolation. Wasn't much truth to it during the revolution, and afterwards when 250,000 Tories forced to flee from the US had settled in Upper Canada, no truth to it at all. the Canadian War of Independence put a final end to these lingering fantasies in the US. Still, I warn my Canadian friends when they visit the States, they will meet Americans who think Canada is part of the US.

also many believe that Canada doesn't exist but by name only meaning Canada is nothing without the USA.
