The article discusses the political developments surrounding Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation and suggests an unconventional proposal: the annexation of Southern Ontario by New York State.
It highlights that with Trudeau stepping down and the potential for changes in Canada, there could be an opportunity for Western New Yorkers to advocate for the inclusion of parts of Ontario, specifically the region around Niagara Falls, Crystal Beach, and the Welland Canal, into the Empire State.
The piece presents this as a win-win scenario for both regions, offering economic and strategic benefits.
However, the proposal is a tongue-in-cheek suggestion, referencing a previous attempt at annexation in 2012, and asking residents of Ontario if they’d be willing to become Western New Yorkers. The article is more of a playful exploration of potential political shifts than a serious policy recommendation.
