Most MAGA Americans forget Alaska exists. Especially those who reside in Texas as it is an existential threat to their self image.
I used to work in a tourist shop in Alaska, and it was really surprising and disheartening just how many Americans didn't know that Alaska was part of the US. I used to get questions about whether we accepted the USD or American credit cards.
Will Mexico pay for this one too, even though your other policy is to bomb Mexico?
This might be relevant here.

the wall would go along the middle of some roads in town? So Canada gets the lane going west and America gets the lane going east?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Republican lawmakers have been complaining more frequently about the northern border in the context of unauthorized migration, but the numbers remain a tiny portion of the U.S. total.
For simply musing idly about the possibility of a Canada wall, Scott Walker drew merciless ridicule in the 2016 campaign.
Gary Doer wondered how Walker, the governor of a Great Lakes state, Wisconsin, no doubt aware of that body of water, intended to build a wall across the monumental natural boundary.
The New York Times obituary for his failed campaign said his string of gaffes had unnerved supporters, and it specifically cited the Canadian wall comment.
With just a year to the election, Ramaswamy's campaign has already lasted longer than Walker's and is in fourth place in hypothetical national primary polls.
He remains a distant longshot, however, languishing approximately 54 percentage points behind Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner, who skipped Wednesday's debate.
The original article contains 495 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Let's not pretend it doesn't happen here. Number of times I've heard Ontarians saying the province needs a wall (my in-laws included).
Well, in their defense, we could knock out the easterm Ontario section in a weekend.
You mean the St Laurence River? Give me the contract, job already done.
I'll do the rest of the province as well.
Just make it out of random discarded plywood, and building material out of rubble from abandoned buildings.
Gananoque's latest tourist attraction will be The Thousand (3ft high) Walls!
I'll do them one better. Build a wall between the State of Maine and Nova Scotia! I'd like to see someone try.
That one makes a little bit more sense, New Brunswick is entirely forgettable.
For those unaware this guy has a zero percent chance of becoming the republican nominee, he's just using the debate as a platform to say the most outrageous things he can think of and get name recognition. Good on CBC for keeping his name out of the headline, but it would have been better to just not report on it at all.
