Social media is continuing to rave about Canadas Green Party leader who mocked Donald Trumps lack of political knowledge in a recent speech and invited California - and Oregon and Washington - to join Canada as its newest provinces.
Elizabeth May flamed Trump at a recent press conference for his bullying, demeaning suggestion that the Canadian nation would make a nice 51st state.
She noted: We do not aspire to be the 51st state ... If it was a joke, it was never funny, and it ends now.

Maybe California would like to be the 11th province. How bout it, California? Oregon? Washington? Weve got geography in common, she urged.
This is what weve got for you: Free healthcare, universal, free healthcare. No more one-year-olds who suddenly fall off the Medicaid list, and their parents are on the news because theyre trying to do a GoFundMe, because theyre trying to get their daughter to a doctor, May mocked.
California citizens, Washington, Oregon: Safer streets here, we already have strict gun laws, and women have the right to an abortion under the universal healthcare system, she crowed.

She even makes a dig "go find your grandkids' history book and learn about a Parlimentarian Democracy..."
