Liberal Senator Floats Secession Plan: Let’s Join Canada And Leave Trump’s America Behind
In a bold and controversial move, New York State Senator Liz Krueger (D-28) has suggested a coalition of northeastern states should secede from the United States and join Canada following the announcement of President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
Krueger, who serves as the chairwoman of the New York State Senate Finance Committee, proposed the idea of secession as a response to Trump’s second term.
In an interview with Politico, Krueger stated, “It’s not unreasonable to think outside of the box,” defending her suggestion and emphasizing the need for creative solutions in the political landscape.
Krueger’s proposal centers around the idea that New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut should join Canada, forming a new province in the northeast region of the country.
In September, Krueger elaborated on her thoughts in an interview with City and State New York, where she discussed the possibility of secession.
She acknowledged that Canada had previously indicated reluctance to allow such a move. “I know that Canada has basically said, ‘Yeah, we’re not letting you all in if he wins.’ As individuals, they basically made it clear,” she said.
Despite these challenges, Krueger continued to promote the idea, suggesting that rather than illegally crossing the border, the four states could become a part of Canada’s political framework.
Krueger also proposed that these states would align well with Canada’s political ideology, adding, “Basically everybody in these states are progressive Democrats and they would fit in pretty well with the political philosophy of at least most of the Canadian elected officials.”
The polling for the next Canadian elections indicates the contrary, by the way, with the Conservative Party poised to crush Justin Trudeau’s Labor Party.
She believes that a coalition of these states would make a natural addition to Canada based on shared progressive values and policy priorities.
The senator also mentioned that she had discussed the idea with political figures in Ottawa, who allegedly indicated that the proposal could be feasible. “I got back some unofficial responses and heard this is probably sellable in Ottawa,” Krueger remarked.
She suggested that, in comparison to European nations, if the U.S. and Canada were viewed as European countries, their borders would have changed multiple times over the course of their histories.
Despite Krueger’s efforts to rally support for the secession plan, the idea has garnered criticism from several quarters.
Many consider the proposal to be an extreme and divisive response to Trump’s presidency. It also raises serious questions about the legal, economic, and political consequences of such a drastic move, both for the states involved and for the broader United States.
While Krueger advocates for secession, President-elect Trump has expressed a willingness to work with New York’s Democratic leadership to restore the state to its former prosperity.
During his final rally at Madison Square Garden before the election, Trump vowed to make New York “safe and strong and beautiful and affordable and vibrant again.”
He added that he was eager to collaborate with Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) and New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D-NY) to revitalize the state.
As Krueger and others push for dramatic measures to counteract Trump’s policies, it remains to be seen how this proposal will play out politically.
The secession plan is unlikely to gain widespread support, but it reflects the ongoing tensions between New York’s political establishment and the incoming Trump administration.
Whether this plan gains any traction or is dismissed as an overreach by local politicians, it highlights the deep divisions that persist in American politics.
Would not hurt my feelings if they all left and America could get back to being normal
I remember the Libs throwing a tantrum when northern CA and southern OR wanted to leave their respective states and form the new state of Jefferson. Just like the filibuster was anti-democratic last year and now its the only way to preserve democracy. These people have no convictions, what else can you expect from someone who is still sporting the mask at the end of 2024.
What makes her think Canada would want that deal?
Does she really have four boobs, or is that a divided panniculus below her real two?
Going around fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
Fine plan. The rest of the country is tired of that dump NYC pretending it’s the center of the universe. Anything we lose will quickly be remedied when Democrats can never again win the presidency due to the fact that they would lose a huge block of electoral votes. As a bonus, they’d also lose two permanent senators and a bunch of reps. We’d never have to listen to that moron AOC shooting off her opinions again.
Great, then we’d have to deal with a bunch of former New Yorkers trying to get into this country…
Is the picture of this nutty hog in a mask recent? God help those within her sphere of influence.
I live in Vermont and was raised in New York, on Long Island. I can state for a fact that Liz Krueger is a typical liberal democrat who is wrong most if not all the time. There are plenty of non-liberals in both Vermont and New York who are looking forward to living in an America that is once again wholesome, positive, productive, and law-abiding. Just looking at Liz you can see by the face diaper that she is ignorant. That said, I support her motion. Please, please, please seceed and take your failed ideology with you. Everyone and anyone who believes America is bad should be exited from the country. Michelle Obama, Joy Reid, Whoopi, George Cluny, Mark Hammill, Alec Baldwin – please go away. What I want to know is what is Liz’s plan for people like me who want to be an American. Will she have these new Canadian provinces buy out my mortagage at fair market prices so I can move to one of the United States? What is her plan for businesses that have no interest in her soviet socialist republic? Liz, your face diaper is not hiding your stupidity.
You are talking treason be careful
The next thing you know, Washington State, Oregon and California will follow.
Forget about coming to Canada we do not want you Democrats..we plan on doing the same thing as USA did, vote out our Liberal country destroying idiot ..Trudeau has to call election next fall and you will end up the same as you are now
I’m all for it! Once these states are gone, the Electoral College will be Republican in perpetuity. I was always for California bailing out as well. Democrats lose the 54 Electoral College votes of California and voila! No more Democrat president.
I can promise you that Jutsie ( Castro’s Son ) and the Canadians in general do NOT want these American leftist fringe crazies as part of their country.
The reason secession fails is that it is unconstitutional. NY ratified the Constitution, making the citizens of New York also citizens of the United States. This can not be taken away because some democrats are crying in their cheerios. And as before, by doing this, the democrats would start another civil war they would lose again.
More than fine with me. When China, Russia, North Korea or Iran attack Canada, can we agree that the icky Red State USA has no need to help beautiful Blue helpless Canada?
I don’t see a downside for America if they were to do as the bloated whale advocates.
Haha you are so right ..we in Canada do not need these people
Like our so-called celebrities, she and those of her demented ilk, very likely have failed to consult Canada, who actually gets a vote on whether to pollute its population with such walking infections.
PLEASE GO.
