He further criticized the proposal's absurdity and emphasized that not all New Yorkers share Krueger's progressive views. He also highlighted concerns about New York's financial state, pointing to a $61 billion increase in state spending over the past four years.
Krueger's comments, made to reporters in Albany, included a playful yet serious suggestion of a takeover of Canada through population numbers if the secession happened. She even admitted to contacting Canadian officials regarding this possibility.
