Hey Michigan is basically already Canadian, we can just blend in.
Can confirm, lived in Michigan over a decade. Yoopers are more Canadian than most Canadians.

Northeastern South Canada too!
I think we should return governing authority to the natives the US stole the land from. Sorry native Americans, this dumpster fire is yours to fix now.

Alright you sons of bitches, I’m in.
Put it to a vote and I bet it would surprise you which states would leave the US right now.
Pretty sure the entire west coast would bounce. Especially California, aka the 4th largest economy in the world.
That'd be hilarious.
Besides the geography problem, I've said the West coast and the northeast should become their own country.
Those ones can just join Canada, geography problem solved.
When the Balkinization of the US happens, the West Coast will be thr first to break off.
Balkanization*
As rule of thumb, try to keep the root word intact (Balkans here) as much as possible. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but it's a good heuristic.
That's genius, But treat them as a territory, they don't get the be a province. But our current territories should be made provinces first, they deserve better representation especially with climate change making the areas more comfortable for living.
you drive a hard bargain, we accept. You can even alter the deal and add more terms, but I warn you we will still accept. No take-backsies on the deal, we are Canadians now. Good luck, rest of USA, you bunch of effin losers. You're a real disappointment.
Good luck, rest of USA, you bunch of effin losers
hosers, you're Canadian now, ya gotta speak Canadian
California, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington consent to this agreement. Where do we sign?
As an Oregon resident, I would be all for this. CA alone would be a pretty good chunk of federal taxes.

We don't want you. Split into 50 countries and we'll deal with the sane ones. We could make an American Union. But we won't merge

Shatner pulls a "no u" after everyone already made that joke for weeks already.
He's old, it takes him a minute to catch up
He actually, started, the joke, before, everyone else, but, with all, the pauses, it took, longer, to finish, it.
To boldly go where everyone else has been before.

Captain Kirk setting these Nazis straight.
We wouldn't want to violate the prime directive though.
Bill Shatner’s a badass.
Shatner had a well earned reputation as an egotistical asshole for a long time, but he does seem to have become more reasonable in recent years

How is he 94 years old while not even looking 70?
In 2286 he did a slingshot maneuver around the sun to go back in time. Get with it, dog.

For the other people who were also doubtful that the thumbnail was how he currently looks, yes he really looks like that right now at 94 years old.

I dunno. Let it fester as a territory for a while. Maybe Nunavut has languished long enough. Time to elevate the places we already have.
it would have to be a territory.. or territories, even it's 50 of them. as territories only get 1 mp each. a 340+ million population province would get like 90% of the seats in parliament.
If Trump keeps being antagonistic, Carney should start calling him Premier Trump.
Canada doesn't want to be responsible for that dumpster fire.
Too late my Canadian brother, HertzDentalBar let us in. I promise to learn to speak Canadian and the words to our "hey Canada" anthem.
I've got to tell you, even joking about being Canadian take a huge weight off my shoulders. I didnt realize how much stress I was carrying around. Everyone try it, pretend Canada just made a deal to take your state over and you're now Canadian. Feels so good doesnt it.

Mmmm... How about something else that doesn't allow Americans to vote? Because 11th province would just mean Canada becomes America under a different name.
