Canadian Lawmaker Proposes California, Oregon, Washington Join Canada for Universal Health Care

Credited from: NEWSWEEK

Elizabeth May, leader of the Canadian Green Party, proposed that California, Oregon, and Washington join Canada as provinces.
This suggestion follows President-elect Donald Trump's remarks about Canada potentially becoming the 51st U.S. state.
May emphasized Canada's universal health care and strict gun laws as attractive benefits for these states.
Trump's comments, perceived as semi-joking, could negatively impact U.S.-Canada relations amidst ongoing trade tensions.
Responses from Canadian officials, including Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, highlight a strong national identity and economy.
