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.
Except when they’ve publicly flosted the idea of revisiting border treaties the satire becomes outright support.
Misinterpreting the exaggerated proposal as a genuine endorsement of border changes is a fundamental misunderstanding of satire. The intent is to ridicule the absurdity of the idea, not to promote it. It’s ridiculous to suggest that a hyperbolic comment meant to expose flawed logic could be seen as support for actual policy revisions.

I don’t think the plurality of people agree with your interpretation based on votes (I did not downvote). Perhaps worth examining whether your intent is being understood.
I assume a lot of those down votes are from folks who never clicked the post and didn’t realize that Detroit is north of the Detroit river. Maybe I need to work on my delivery, my wife does give me a lot of eye rolls. I still think we need to mock Trump and friends to stop their BS from becoming normalized
I agree to give them no quarter
