George Washington first invited neighbors to ‘unite with us in an indissoluble union’

While Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney shops his country to China and Qatar, Americans should revisit an idea the Founding Fathers first proposed: welcoming Canada into the Union.
Donald Trump is not the first president to entertain the idea of Canada joining the United States. That title goes to George Washington. In his 1775 open letter to the Inhabitants of Canada, Washington invited Canadian colonists to support the Revolution against British despotism: “Come then, my brethren, unite with us in an indissoluble Union”.
Later, the Articles of Confederation followed up with a standing invitation for Canadians to join the Union. The Founding Fathers understood that America’s destiny was not solely westward, but northward as well. Canada’s incorporation was seen not as conquest, but as completion.

This is really a totally bogus story. We put it up because we wanna show you different points of view, but if anybody believes that Canada’s gonna be become a part of the United States they’re morons and if anybody in the United States even wants to think to a next Canada absolutely liberal place then say goodbye to Republicanism say goodbye to this country as you know it and say hello to communism can’t teach the Bible and the end of our Senate and our Congress
Trump‘s 2.0 stance on everything is completely un-American
