Michael Moore Instagram – Yesterday, July 1, was Canada’s 4th of July. You Canadians call it “Canada Day.”Whatever.
When our Continental Congress in 1777 wrote the precursor to our Constitution – “The Articles of Confederation“ – they didn’t want to leave you, Canada, behind! So they included a clause that said Canada could, whenever they wanted to, automatically become part of the USA! You’re welcome!
Here it is, Article XI, as written by our Founding Fathers:
“ARTICLE XI. Canada acceding to this confederation, and joining in the measures of the United States, shall be admitted into, and entitled to all the advantages of this union… “
Canada chose not to accept our generous offer.
I wonder if maybe now they’d like to reconsider? How many Canadians yesterday on Canada Day spent time at their BBQs wishing they could strip their female citizens of their reproductive rights! And strip their environmental ministry of its authority to stop carbon polluters!
Oh Canada, how on May 14th of this year you must have looked longingly across the Niagara River at Buffalo while Black people were slaughtered by one of our thousands of white supremacists with legally-purchased guns!
How weak you must feel having to depend on your government which pays for every single one of your doctor and hospital bills — and you, never having to suffer the pain of bankruptcy due to medical bills, because you refuse to play by the rules of the free market system which decrees there can be no health care without a profit motive! All this freeloading — no wonder you’re soft! We’ll never forget you wouldn’t join us in invading Iraq!
And now your Prime Minister tells every American woman that if they are unable to get an abortion in the U.S. they are welcome to come to Canada and get one for free!
How can you live like this?!
C’mon Canada! There’s still time to join the USA! We’ll teach you how to shoot, how to gerrymander, and how to remove equal rights for women from your constitution!
Think about it! I’ll throw an extra hot dog on the grill for you this Monday.
