One in five Americans (20 per cent) polled by Leger this week say they would like their state to join Canada, more than double the proportion of Canadians who said they would like their country to become the 51st state of the United States. Article content

“Only 9 per cent of Canadians believe it is likely that Canada will become the 51st U.S. state. By contrast, 20 per cent of Americans would like their state to join Canada and become a Canadian province, a proportion that is higher among respondents aged 18 to 34 (30 per cent),” reads the new Léger report.

I don't believe canada is perfect but the US is really fucking bad, so it would probably be an improvement.

Though enemies of the US would probably be cackling at it dissolving. US conservatives really are a heady cocktail of traitors and absolute fucking idiots.

Red States could finally achieve their dream of being third world countries 🥰

Rather than third world states?

Oh without blue states to help them they still have a long way to go to reach the point where they should be considering their political decisions.

If the USA leaves NATO it technically becomes a Third-World Country. Enjoy!

NATO membership isn't a requirement to be a developed country though

Putin is laughing his head off at how easy it was to dismantle the US. It was already so rotten a bit of poking the right places was all it took.
