    Keanu’s Canadian, so… You could become the 11th province?

    (this is meant as light-hearted ribbing aimed at someone who clearly wants to see their country go in a better direction, I hope it’s taken as such)

      I would totally sign onto that if my taxes get me healthcare

      Honestly, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois are waaaaayyyy closer to joining Canada than you’d think

        Fortunately or unfortunately, Canada isn’t ready to accept them. It would require a major change to our Constitution, and opening that can of worms for major revisions isn’t going to happen (history with Quebec, they never signed on the first time and were forced into it, two attempts to renegotiate failed, they had three referenda on separating from Canada…)
