Excuse me Canada I’d like to suggest Washington, California, Oregon and Hawaii for your consideration. We are very left, we have decent economies and we love democracy and to be honest we’re being held hostage right now
Make Cascadia happen instead
Y'know that 35-40 percent of your state's population that voted for Trump every time they could?
Figure out how to leave them behind, then re-submit your request.
You guys have a facist problem too. What if we swap citizenship’s with facists
Hawai’i needs to be independent from colonial countries. Should be its own country. Fuck the US invaders. As much as I love Hawai’i as a Canadian. It should be independent.
Agreed but it will need military backing and an alliance at least if we Balkanize
I’d be really curious to see what would have to happen in Canada procedurally if another territory (like Minnesota or Hawai’i) asked to join us. The last territory to join us was Newfoundland and Labrador in 1949. Nunavut in 1999 doesn’t count because we just rededicated areas of the NWT that had already been part of Canada.
By this logic both of our countries should be given back to the indigenous peoples.
I wish we could. Being able to visit somewhere warm without having to leave Canada...
Better yet, those states form the independent nation of Cascadia. Include southeast Alaska which is politically progressive and culturally Cascadian, and cut out the MAGA trash parts like eastern Oregon. Sign trade deals with Canada and the EU, and defensive pacts with any other sane independent nations that break off from Trump's America.
Lol decent economies? California alone has the fourth largest GDP in the world.
