    FWIW, most people in blue states would probably have your backs too. The province most at risk would probably be Alberta, which… is Alberta

    Most Americans have your back too…it’s just our messed up voting and education systems that let the lunatic fringe gain all the power. For a representative democracy, it really doesn’t represent the people.

      Hell yeah, im just waiting for a blue state to announce intention to secede and join the EU. But that might be messy.

      ;(

      A messy dream.

        States cant secede without war. It is a kinda silly dream anyway. It is better to let the red states rot and have a display of how their ideals fail and how blue states flourish, then take our country back, then go through the insane process of digging out the roots and backdoors they are rushing to put in place as we speak

    Hey, Canada! Have you considered EU membership?

      We didn’t know we had that option. But hell yeah… what do we have to do? Make Google and Apple put a “West Europe” label over Canada?

        And not even impossible. The EU council and commission can basically freely decide if a state counts as “European”.

        I think the biggest hurdle might be that Canada would immediately be the 5th most powerful member state because of their population.

          The EU is talking to Turkey about membership (on and off…), and I would say that Canada is more European than Turkey.

            Canada even shares a border with Europe, so I would say it’s close enough.

          As the EU mostly does not decide population based but with equal votes per country that wouldn’t be an issue.

          The larger issue is the fact that the European and US regulations clash in a lot of things so it would be harder for Canadian companies to export to the US then.

          But otherwise: We would absolutely welcome you.

    i was wondering around Berlin once upon a time. in the park behind the parliament.

    a slightly overly helpful german said “excuse me. are you lost?” i mumbled “no no, not really”

    they walked beside me for a bit and said “ah you are english. i will take you to the parliament it’s just over there”. and i agreed

    then they said “your boys died for my country” which really took my breath away

    so yeah we got your back cananadia. that’s what we do when the fundamentalists kick off. even if we have to die

    From the UK and personally, 100% yes but not sure I feel the rest of the population would agree. I mean, a lot of us turned our backs on the EU and there’s a lot of cross over with US right wing nutters.

    However, I would believe that when push comes to shove, we would be generally willing to defend Canada, Australia and NZ over anyone else, and then European countries at the next level. The reaction in support for Ukraine was pretty universal here and there are still lots of donations and support that is not shared with any African, Asian or Central/South American countries having similar problems.

    Basically, you’re white so yes you can count on us!

        If any country started invading the US, they would face fierce resistance from every household they attempt to pass.

        Except Canada. Canada’s numbers would swell as they moved through the US. They’d get handed free guns.
