As a proud Canadian, this issue is close to my heart. I believe that the essence of our nation lies in unity and loyalty. Hence, it becomes particularly disturbing when fellow citizens speak of becoming the 51st state of the United States.

Our country's strength, beauty, and ethos are unparalleled, and ingratitude towards these feats should not be taken lightly. In an era where Canada ranks highly in quality of life surveys - being listed the 1st in the Quality of Life Rankings by U.S. News & World Report in 2021 - desiring to change one's national identity borders on ungratefulness.

The purpose of this petition is straight forward: we demand that any Canadian citizen publicly expressing a desire to become the 51st state of America be automatically deported to the United States. This does not come from a place of hostility but from a place of love and respect for the rich heritage, culture, and unity that Canada promotes.

It is time now to make our voices heard. Only then can we preserve the unity and solidarity that are the bedrocks of Canada, standing up for the autonomy and sovereignty of our nation. Those of us who proudly identify as Canadians and cherish living here can no longer allow the dilution of our national identity. Please join this fight for the preservation of our Canadian culture. Sign the petition. Let's carry forward our national pride!
