The Canada US border along the Detroit river should move 250km north to reduce tariffs for the automotive industry (lemmy.ca)

This may be an unpopular opinion but we should consider moving the Canada / US border 250km north along the Detroit river. Moving the border north 250km would reduce the amount of cross border trips for the automotive industry negating a lot of the tariff issues. And I don't think the geniuses ruling the US would realize that moving the border north along this stretch would result in Canada gaining over 9000km² of land.

The reason this may be unpopular is because Canada would inherit the Detroit Red Wings.

Now is not the time to be discussing moving the border, a topic which was started by trump in the context of threats to our sovereignty. I don't find this funny and see it in poor taste.

I hear you on the sensitivity of border discussions, but think of Charlie Chaplin’s "The Great Dictator"—a film that used humour and satire to expose the absurdity of dictators. Its impact was significant, as it helped shift public opinion away from totalitarian ideals during a critical time. Let's keep making fun of the clown king and his henchmen.
