Those statistics are bs

sorry we got to do a purge first. we can't be joining any canada until we deal with this problem internally...

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago

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, 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.

[–] dubyakay 0 points 16 hours ago

Even NH could join up, and straight go the same way that Quebec enjoys.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

States' rights can be great when you agree with the policies, but I'm personally harrowed by stories of state government showing obvious contempt for their big cities.

[–] dubyakay 1 points 5 hours ago

That could be solved by big cities having autonomy as well. Just like big cities in most European countries being their own province-level entities. Heck, don't even need to look further than Mexico City.

So i need to move?

Can we have California? I want their movie industry to be Canadian.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

A lot of filming is done in Canada anyway because cheaper

Issue: Canada exterminates natives, proving extreme racism.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

The inuit have their own area which is basically all of the northern part of Canada

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

[–] Mycatiskai 19 points 1 day ago

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

It’s me. I’m the 1 in 5 Americans. I would so much rather be there than here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

I mean, I appreciate the sentiment, but, I would much rather Americans actually came together and fixed their own shit rather than bailing on hundreds of years of work by leaving.

I’ll beat this drum again: I would fully support a program where we exchange equal numbers of MAGA loyalists in Canada for trained doctors, engineers, and tradespeople looking to escape fascism.

The Americans have already shown interest in this with their idea of importing white South Africans. Is this an impossible idea?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

If it's dumb and it works, then you take the dumb and exchange it for the works, it's not dumb, well, the dumb isn't there anymore and now you have more works!!
