Honestly, do we really think America won't invade canada as soon as its farmland starts to fail from climate change?

[-] Denjin@lemmings.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Canade already exports almost all it's produce to the US.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Why go to the bother of invasion. Use trade to force them.

[-] Adm_Drummer@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Canada has the ninth largest economy in the world. Yes, America is larger but not so large that they don't rely on Canada for import/export. Starting a trade war with Canada would just see Canada move it's resources to a more fruitful source.

So sick and tired of people talking about Canada as though we're subservient or reliant on America. We are allies and friends. We work together because it works. The moment it stops working doesn't mean Canada will come crashing down and beg america for forgiveness.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

You realise there is an order of magnitude difference between US and Canada right?

2 trillion compared to 30 trillion.

But you are right, they are very close countries and using trade to bully is not something that will happen and would put USMCA in trouble.

[-] Adm_Drummer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ukraine is small compared to Russia and look at them.

I realise the discrepancy but it doesn't matter what size the bully is. You should always stand up for your rights. Sovereignty rights, Provincial, State, Human, Civil rights. There are always bullies out there.

Trans folks make up less than 1% of the fight. There are several orders of magnitude between their cause and almost any other, yet they fight.

Just because we're smaller doesn't mean we have to take their shit. America relies on Canada for large amounts of their lumber, construction goods, and energy. If Canada and Mexico decide to say goodbye then America is just as screwed.

They probably could just pull an annexation just by threat of invasion. It's not like Canada could or would resist anyways.

[-] Adm_Drummer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Canada would resist. Saying anything else is defeatism and only serves to support this insane rhetoric.

I will see blood in the streets before I cede a single inch of my fucking country to fascist pig fuckers from south of the border. They may be the largest military out there but there will be American blood on Canadian hands.

Just ship some bat soup down south and start COVID-25

I like this one better:

Credit Atlas Pro

Only, these shouldn't be united states, they should be independent nations.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

You have put Atlanta in Florida and I cannot agree to that on any capacity, I’m sick just thinking about it

[-] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I didn't draw these borders, Atlas Pro did, and he drew these borders because they better account for geography, rather than just arbitrary straight lines. This isn't necessarily meant to be a final proposal, additions and refinements would be needed.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Those sorts of lines would make sense if we landed here from outer space and it had never been populated before. Otherwise that’s just ripping cultural areas apart

Edit: Michigan and Ohio literally fought a war against each other over Toledo. They would start another if forced to rejoin

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly this. If anyone thinks Texas is just gonna absorb most of NM, you're gonna have a bad time.

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

I propose Toledo be dug out and flooded by lake Erie. Nobody wants it.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Spoken like a true Georgian.

As a Floridian, yall can keep your garbage state - other than Savaannah, that's a nice town.

OTOH, if this was real the band Florida-Georgia Line wouldn't make sense and would hopefully also drop off the map, so... maybe?

Edit: I just noticed they renamed South Carolina to Georgia...

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Y'all already have St Augustine so Savannah is off the table, we'll offer Albany, Valdosta, and Phenix City. I can agree with you that Florida-Georgia Line ceasing to exist would be for the best of everyone.

“We will be welcomed as liberators” says every dictator ever.

[-] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago

The Republicans would never win another election again lmao.

'let's just add ~25 million left wing votes'

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 6 points 3 weeks ago

They can put them all in a single territory and not give them the vote.

[-] deus@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Gerrymandering goes brrr

[-] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 0 points 3 weeks ago

The people in this country are not left wing. Barely liberal at best. Average voter-wise.

[-] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

62% of Canadian conservatives said they would vote for kamala over trump

So like 75% of Canada would be considered left compared to American standards

[-] LordPassionFruit@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago

But the American Left is the Canadian Center. There'd be a fair few Conservative voters who'd vote Democrat and not change their ideology.

[-] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social -1 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think you're correct. Kamala Harris is the exact same type of liberal as Justin Trudeau and nobody is happy with his style right now.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Ahahah everythis is US but not mexico 🤣

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Except for the Yucatan peninsula, gotta keep the old pyramids and cultural sites in our hands for the tourism bucks. Gonna put a hotel right at the bottom of Giza 🤢🤮

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Na dude, that's where the aliens are

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I like that they consolidated the Dakotas but not Best Carolina where my partner lives and Worst Carolina where Dylan Roof and Lindsay Graham are from..

[-] Live_your_lives@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

They put the North half of North Dakota into Pembina, though, so I don't know if that really counts as consolidation.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Having never heard or seen the word before, I still say that joining Pembina is a significant upgrade from North Dakota. Even if it DOES sound more like a genital deformity than a state.

"Did you hear that Carol's baby was born with pembina?" "Poor thing! I TOLD her those lead enemas during pregnancy was a bad idea, though!“

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Can’t even handle what they have now

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

A future where Cuba liberated Haiti, the DR, a bunch of Mexico, and the USA?

[-] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Hear me out what if we trade north Canada to the southern USA in exchange for the north USA?
