It’s funny how much more favorable the comments are on this compared donnie’s original comments.
Canadians on joining the US: “oh hell no!”
Americans on joining Canada: “me too please!”
Yes. One million times yes. Let’s watch the GOP fucking implode when the largest GDP State (CA) leaves their ass. It’s insane they are whining about our fires… Idaho was far more on fire this year than us in California. And that was all forest, not literal neighborhoods that 100% raked their fuckin leaves.
Take Oregon and Washington and the USA is left without a Pacific Coast…LOL!
Keep it down. We don’t want them figuring it out! (Also Alaska)
But my manifest destiny!
I live in WA and I want this more than anything.
Here’s a nice compromise position - Canada becomes a republic; in exchange, the West Coast and the East Coast down to Maryland (or Virginia) join as unincorporated territories or whatever the Canuck equivalent is.
please save us from Y’All Qaeda
I remember seeing something similar in the W days.
It is the fact that the US is a republic that is the problem. If any US states join Canada they do it as a province of the federation.
I refuse to have anything to do with having a m*narch on my money 😤
I’m fine with being a province, but it’s republic or bust
That’s ok. You stay where you are and we’ll stay a federation.
That’s it, I support the Quebecois now! They’ll understand the value of a good guillotine, at least
That’s why all the billionaires are in such a hurry to get to space. Guillotines require gravity.
I’m French and I shall work on developing railgun mounted guillotine to work in space
Sorry bud. Maybe move to a state that Mexico picks up?
Isn’t a guy on your money had a child from an underage slave or am I mistaking him with some other slave holding hero of the country?
Canafornia, a Democracy with no need for an electorial college, and free of having the monarch on their money.
If anything was really done, I assume it’d be just opening up (+incentivizing) immigration. Skilled labor/health/money probably will still be huge barriers, so I think the most effect it could have would be brain drain.
entire west coast: let us in!
I don think you’d have to become part of Canada to join the Commonwealth so maybe there’s a chance?
Not just three, all the Blue States would like to switch to province.
Speaking at a press conference last week in Ottawa, May called out the president-elect, saying, "Hey, Donald, have we got a deal for you? You think we want to be the 51st state huh? But maybe California would like to be the 11th province. How about it? California? Oregon? Washington?
I live in California and I’d like this. But then the USA would never have a non-GOP president ever again and that’s against my conscience.
The “United States” is done anyway, there’s no way, ironically, to make America great again.
If there was only a way
One of the Mario bros knows how
Washington would fit right in. Western Washington is already a lot like British Columbia, and Eastern Washington is already a lot like Alberta.
Alberta, aka Hellberta, aka the Texas of Canada.
Oh come on, our power grid is not that bad.
No, but the right-wing mindset is.
News to me, same crazy people all over. But as Canada’s punching bag, feel free to take it out on Alberta.
I lived in Cowtown in 1979-82, before it was this bad. Kind of liked it then … not so much now.
I get the idea, but you have not lived here since 82. I have to travel a bit in the prairies and let me tell you a lot of Canada makes cowtown look like a progressive paradise. Is it worse now, yeah. Is it as bad as say a town in Manitoba or Saskatchewan? Nope, but we Canadians don’t like to think of our countries slide into right wing populism out side of Alberta.
At some point it stops being a game of “save everyone”, and starts becoming “save as many as you can”.
California should totally join Canada.
Having similar values, California will finally be able yonreally become what it wants under Canadian law. It being a ginormous economy is nice too for Canada and would just plain bankrupt the US in one go.
They can have Alberta in return if they want
Only if we get autonomy that rivals the Quebecois, after all Canada will benefit far more from California’s economy than California will from Canada. Also we demand all the dot CA domains.
Sorry, you only get .ca.ca.
Then we have no deal.
On the flip side…
California subsidizes the shit out of the rest of the USA, and relatively speaking gets less in return. Imagine no longer having to finance just about everything of failed religious states like Kentucky and Mississippi.
Also you wouldn’t have to deal with racist religious extremists. Like any country, we have our crazies but we’re not even close to the level of the US.
Financially it would be hugely beneficial to California to be part of Canada.
Also, get free healthcare, which is fucking awesome
We can equally share the .ca domains, it’s not like there are that many left anyway
California is roughly equal in population to Canada and greater in size economically, this would make any situation where California is under Canada yet another unequal union. I propose that California, Canada, Mexico, and any other liberated states should make the North American Oil and Steel union. Basically get on the path of forming a North American Union.
I get what you’re saying, I’m just saying that California under Canada would be off a LOT better than it is currently under the US.
But sure, go at it alone but make some sort of free trade and travel zone at least, ala Schengen in Europe.
The rest of Canada would never have a vote worth anything ever again. California and Canada have about equal populations.
Those are just solutions in waiting, I don’t see that as a barrier form California to join
Also, Canada NEEDS more citizens, getting a huge influx of higher educated people isn’t a bad deal.
Add the enormous economy and we have a winner
As a Washingtonian, I would LOVE for this to happen. It’s a shame she’s joking.
I mean, as a Canadian I would say come on and get this going. Hell Alaska can join as well.
Then tarriff the shit out of Trump for anything being shipped through new Canada from China lol.
:O take us away pls
I am Soooooo down for this!!!
I doubt they’ll take #Arkansas, so I’m screwed either way until my familial duty is complete.
NWA here, yeah our guv’na is a fascist demon ready to put all non white christians into concentration camps
As an American, let me just say, 🎶 Oh Canada… 🎶
Some required listening before joining: A Canadian comedy debate on whether O Canada is the best national anthem
This. This is how you fight trump
As someone who lives in California, I would love this.
We’d love to have ya!
Have a chat with Hawaii, okay? Mom wants to go before she dies but she won’t go with Trump in charge. Get them on board and even the flight’s domestic. Woot!
As someone who lives in Texas, I would also love this - once I gtfo of Texas
Calling Elizabeth May a lawmaker is the most credibility the federal Green party has ever gotten
