I am Soooooo down for this!!!
:O take us away pls
I doubt they’ll take #Arkansas, so I’m screwed either way until my familial duty is complete.
North Carolina please
Not just three, all the Blue States would like to switch to province.
Hey… don’t forget Vermont!
Yes. One million times yes. Let’s watch the GOP fucking implode when the largest GDP State (CA) leaves their ass. It’s insane they are whining about our fires… Idaho was far more on fire this year than us in California. And that was all forest, not literal neighborhoods that 100% raked their fuckin leaves.
Take Oregon and Washington and the USA is left without a Pacific Coast…LOL!
Keep it down. We don’t want them figuring it out! (Also Alaska)
I live in WA and I want this more than anything.
Here’s a nice compromise position - Canada becomes a republic; in exchange, the West Coast and the East Coast down to Maryland (or Virginia) join as unincorporated territories or whatever the Canuck equivalent is.
please save us from Y’All Qaeda
If anything was really done, I assume it’d be just opening up (+incentivizing) immigration. Skilled labor/health/money probably will still be huge barriers, so I think the most effect it could have would be brain drain.
It is the fact that the US is a republic that is the problem. If any US states join Canada they do it as a province of the federation.
I refuse to have anything to do with having a m*narch on my money 😤
I’m fine with being a province, but it’s republic or bust
Isn’t a guy on your money had a child from an underage slave or am I mistaking him with some other slave holding hero of the country?
That’s ok. You stay where you are and we’ll stay a federation.
That’s it, I support the Quebecois now! They’ll understand the value of a good guillotine, at least
That’s why all the billionaires are in such a hurry to get to space. Guillotines require gravity.
Sorry bud. Maybe move to a state that Mexico picks up?
I remember seeing something similar in the W days.
Canafornia, a Democracy with no need for an electorial college, and free of having the monarch on their money.
Speaking at a press conference last week in Ottawa, May called out the president-elect, saying, "Hey, Donald, have we got a deal for you? You think we want to be the 51st state huh? But maybe California would like to be the 11th province. How about it? California? Oregon? Washington?
I live in California and I’d like this. But then the USA would never have a non-GOP president ever again and that’s against my conscience.
The “United States” is done anyway, there’s no way, ironically, to make America great again.
If there was only a way
One of the Mario bros knows how
Washington would fit right in. Western Washington is already a lot like British Columbia, and Eastern Washington is already a lot like Alberta.
Alberta, aka Hellberta, aka the Texas of Canada.
Oh come on, our power grid is not that bad.
No, but the right-wing mindset is.
News to me, same crazy people all over. But as Canada’s punching bag, feel free to take it out on Alberta.
I lived in Cowtown in 1979-82, before it was this bad. Kind of liked it then … not so much now.
I get the idea, but you have not lived here since 82. I have to travel a bit in the prairies and let me tell you a lot of Canada makes cowtown look like a progressive paradise. Is it worse now, yeah. Is it as bad as say a town in Manitoba or Saskatchewan? Nope, but we Canadians don’t like to think of our countries slide into right wing populism out side of Alberta.
no fair man. illinois. illinois.
Everybody hates Illinois. People who live there even hate it. I was born there and promptly left.
Also lived there, also hated it. Never again
Well obviously not everyone as I love it but im ok with you guys not wanting to be there. I have a feeling if you don’t like chicago you would not like toronto.
I don’t have a strong opinion on Chicago, I’ve only spent a few days there and it was downtown in a cold snap in February. There were some nice things to do but it was expensive and overall I’ve had better experiences in other cities. I liked it better than my wife did, she hates the cold. I on the other hand like to go snow camping (without her).
The people in the rest of the state hate Chicago because it dominates the politics, and the few Chicagoans I know aren’t a fan of the rest of the state. For awhile I lived in St. Louis but worked across the river. I still have to drive across Illinois pretty often. It’s flat fields of corn and thunderstorms in the summer, and frigid and hostile in the winter. I don’t really hate Illinois by any means and I didn’t choose to move away - I was only two and my parents moved to the Netherlands. I actually like Champaign/Urbana, I have lots of connections there. I still wouldn’t choose to live in Illinois though.
As a Washingtonian, I would LOVE for this to happen. It’s a shame she’s joking.
I mean, as a Canadian I would say come on and get this going. Hell Alaska can join as well.
Then tarriff the shit out of Trump for anything being shipped through new Canada from China lol.
Hey, take illinois. Its connected via the great lakes, and we may be #12 in terms of GDP, about 50-60%% of goods travelling by rail or road through the US have to go through us.
The Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways are busy in the Chicago area.
It’s funny how much more favorable the comments are on this compared donnie’s original comments.
Canadians on joining the US: “oh hell no!”
Americans on joining Canada: “me too please!”
This. This is how you fight trump
entire west coast: let us in!
I don think you’d have to become part of Canada to join the Commonwealth so maybe there’s a chance?
