In a Fox News interview posted to his personal X account on Wednesday, O’Leary appeared to vouch for Canadians, suggesting that citizens are interested in joining forces with its southern neighbours.

“I like this idea and at least half of Canadians are interested,” O’Leary said.

“The 41 million Canadians, I think most of them would trust me on this deal.”

I'm glad there are still people who remember that the American belief in manifest destiny, and general American exceptionalism has been around for decades.

And they've been slowly and steadily moving on that though commerce, through our increasing branch plant economy and through overwhelming cultural exports since before WW2.
