This is a horse shit idea. I don’t want the culture here to be watered down. I’d be wary of any state wanting to join confederation, and also concerned about the uptick in immigration from the USA.
I'm down for that. I live in California, being a Canadian province would double Canada's population and more than double its GDP.
I think there’s a lot that we could offer each other. I’d personally love to see it.
I, an Arizonan, would gladly become part of Mexico. A quarter of my heritage is there already.
I'll offer you the state of New York. You can have the tax base of NYC. I'm sure most of New England minus New Hampshire would be down with this.
Even NH could join up, and straight go the same way that Quebec enjoys.
Can we have California? I want their movie industry to be Canadian.
Actually id rather just break the united states into smaller countries.
Finding common ground and priorities with such a large populace is so non-productive.
There's an argument for states rights and a smaller federal government.
Individual Canadian provinces enjoy more Autonomy than your average US state.
So i need to move?
Meee.
warof1812 has entered the chat.
It’s me. I’m the 1 in 5 Americans. I would so much rather be there than here.
Same
Same
And nobody in Canada wants this because 70 million americans voted for Trump
I'd way rather join EU so we get smart people coming into the country
We do share a land border with Denmark. We settled a border dispute with Denmark on Hans Island. We also have France just a few kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland in St Pierre and Miquelon.
We should use that as a path to EU membership
I think it's on the State level not the whole US. I'm fine with that.
Would like New England so we can have it unite with New Scotland to form the New United Kingdom and have Prince Albert(a) from New Brunswick be it's Monarch's consort and patron explorers, like Columbus but British so a British Columbia, to sail the seas to claim New Found Land and Labour to teach New English to New France until they can have Nunavut anymore.
Oh grow a pair and start setting shit on fire.
if yall could do the white house again like last time it'd be much appreciated
Make sure Krasnov and his little dog Vance are in it though.
Do it yourself.
honestly fair enough lol
We don’t want US people seceding to Canada. Enough of their individualistic, manifest destiny, American exceptionalism poison mindset. I don’t want any more of that ideology to infect Canada any more than it already has.
any more than it already has
So many people I know get fuming mad at the idea of higher taxes because they think their income is going to be given to the poor. It's the same 'one good move away from being a millionaire' mentality that drives voters in red states.
I want my taxes going to the poor! Society does better when we raise the floor, like how raising minimum wage also means that everyone else gets bumped up or how it’s cheaper to house the homeless and help them join a workforce as opposed to leaving them out on the streets.
But more specifically I want the ultra-rich to actually pay their fucking taxes! They have the money, they can pony and help a little.
As a Texan, as much as I want to be a Canadian, I would not wish my asshole neighbors on my friends to the north.
We already have a Texas. It's called Alberta.
The US people wishing one thing and their stupid government doing exactly the opposite. Name a more iconic duo!
What's going on Canada?
