I wouldn't mind becoming a part of Canada so long as I still can get my financial aid for college. That, and we make it so anything coming in from Asia to the US has to either go to through us and we make them pay a little extra for it, or it be sent along another route.
michigan is obviously already canadian _
Why would I want to join Canada???? I don't do well in the cold smh my head
-Life expectancy will go up from a world ranking of 48th (USA) to 20th (Canada).
-Education will get better from 31st (USA) to 19th (Canada).
-Math scores will improve from 34th (USA) to 9th (Canada).
-Robberies will go down from 98 per 100,000 population to 62.
-Traffic accident deaths will drop from 12.7 per 100,000 to 5.3.
-You will spend half as much on health care yet get better outcomes.
-Poverty in Canada is 1/3 the rate in the USA.
-Although Canada has fewer millionaires, we more fairly distribute wealth (better income equality).

Australia can come too. THE END!
Edit for the young ones: this is older than YouTube. It was a flash animation which was like a 2d game engine that ran in-game cutscenes in your web browser because that worked on slower internet speeds than video.
Hey I'm North Carolina, can we get in on this?
I’m a Canadian and my dream is to one day fake my death and move to Minnesota where I can live in a small cabin away from anyone.
Oh man I'd love to see the civil unrest in the red States when they don't have us new Yorkers to give them their welfare payments.
Same from the west coast. If only cali oregon and washington could just be a west coast alliance separate from the rest of the problem states.
You forgot Colorado. But yes.
hello. illinois.
Accepting pleas from other comments here, Canada could get away with about this. And if they have the whole Pacific border, I'll also throw in Hawaii for free.
Having Arizona would a big L for Canada
Hm. Went with cutting Washington and Oregon in half rather than full take. Pretty bold, but makes some sense.
Theres citylife washington and middle of nowhere washington. Occasionally middle of nowhere washington likes to throw fits in the city to support trump because they have nothing better to do
Though i guess that goes with cali as well. Lots of the non cities in the west coast just really love trump despite reaping all the state benefits that are very non-republican.
A couple tweaks: Include Illinois and the eastern part of Pennsylvania. (edit: I see you did get Chicago, maybe just go a bit further south?).
why not Alaska too?
Y'all are going to regret taking Arizona. And, frankly, everything in California not in view of the coast.
We should give Texas to Mexico just to spite them
Brilliant.
I think they'd maybe rather be independent?
I don't think this is framed as a takeover.
Trump: Fine, they can have California for all I care.
Advisors: Sir, if California were its own country it would be the world's 6th largest economy.
Trump: How about if we just send all the Mexicans there with some beautiful rakes?
They've been there since like the 1500s. Lol.
They are already here. Who the fuck you think does the farming?
5th largest
Wonderful news, everyone!
Solving the problem is dissolving all borders so the working class isn't divided into easily managed nation states.
Can someone ask r/askconservatives how they feel about this plan?
Hell yeah! Minnesota is in.
Maine is basically Canada anyway
WI and MI want in on that, for sure
Well, MI at least
As somebody from Wisconsin I will say that I don't approve of us being excluded, but I also can't blame them.
Poor Colorado
On behalf of California, we accept this proposal, and we accept Canada as our new federal government.
I also propose we officially refer to the remainder of the US as "Dumbfuckistan".
Ah, the united states of poor america.
Give Texas, Arizona and new Mexico to Mexico, and push all the white trash to Florida.
I'd love this to happen just so the USA can steamroll Canada into their backyard.
