I just crossed the border down from Vancouver a couple times this week and was not treated to such jokes.

I’m an hour south of Vancouver and we’re hoping Canada annexes us.

Minnesotan here.

Don't forget us! Half of the population of Canada live south of us as it is; it only makes sense.

No. But you could leave Texas and join us here in Progressiveland.

Probably the usual 1/3 of Americans who drink the Trump kool-aid. I live south of the border in New York state, and I've seen no support for that rhetoric. But I actively avoid Trump supporters as I don't have time for that.

I've joked about that sort of thing before, but wouldn't now. I'd assume someone was a weird MAGAt if they were making those jokes unironically. Especially people doing official jobs like border patrol agents, that's messed up.

I live very close to the border, and most people I know are disgusted by the thought that Trump may try to force the issue

I'm sure that has nothing to do with neighboring Alberta, though /j

I live in Western NY, on the shore of Lake Ontario, and I haven't noticed anyone around here talking about annexing anything.

JFC I hope not...
