California for succession! But all BS aside I feel like the US is going to have a civil war over all of this because over half of us don’t want to live in stupid tecno patriarcal oligarch dipshitville with a deranged game show host frontman
Canadian Province of Oregon has a very nice ring to it!
And Washington! Also all of New England!
Canada has a functioning government. Sign me up!
And universal health care, and 12 months EI for parental leave after the birth of a child.
Just to add, for anyone curious: Canadian healthcare is provincial, not federal, so your mileage may vary depending on which province you live in.
One of the "Canadian officials" recently quoted in American news for threatening to withhold electricity is Doug Ford, the Conservative Premier (i.e. the "Senator") of Ontario. While many Canadians have supported his response to Trump's tariffs, he's been dismantling Ontario's public healthcare by withholding public funding, so he can set up a two-tiered private/public system. He's also had a fair number of scandals. And was just comfortably re-elected :^)
While I have love for Ford, he's more akin to Governor than Senator.
Whoops! That's the word I was looking for :^) thanks
It’s gotta be way more than 1/5 in VT. Half the houses have combo Canadian/US flags hanging. And have for years. They’re in danger of having a different meaning now though I fear.
I am originally from Michigan and I think Michigan would make a fine province in Canada. We all love beer, hockey, Ice fishing, fishing and affordable healthcare. Lets build the wall! The wall should be at the Ohio and Indiana border to keep those Trump supporters away from our inland lakes. #Michigan #FuckTrump
I'd sign up for it. Illinois isn't too far from Canada, and I'd live to see how the US gets by without Chicago. Good luck rerouting all your freight to avoid border crossings lol. Sigh. It'd never happen in a million years though.
It would be amazing if we could have Washington and Oregon in Canada... :)
And California, make a land bridge between Canada and Mexico! Plus Canada would jump from 9th largest GDP in the world to 3rd largest!
It is time for global co-operation against Trump. Forget this silly divide and rule nonsense this bully is attempting.
All countries subject to tariffs now co-operate on joint tariffs against the US.
It is time we all put an end to this nonsense before it escalates. Let's put this moron, this belligerent non-cooperative fascist country in its new, much reduced globally influencing, box.
It is time for the US to pay its deficit.
Edit - I will say that Trump might want other countries to sell their US debt, in order to weaken the dollar to make the US an affordable manufacturer.
So:
You must stand up to bullies.
On behalf of Washington State I accept this offer.
Oregon also!
Perhaps we can organize a referendum
Hell, I'll vote for my state to join just about any country with a functioning healthcare system.
I don't believe canada is perfect but the US is really fucking bad, so it would probably be an improvement.
Though enemies of the US would probably be cackling at it dissolving. US conservatives really are a heady cocktail of traitors and absolute fucking idiots.
Red States could finally achieve their dream of being third world countries 🥰
The way they word the contrast between Canadians and Americans is extremely biased."9 percent of Canadians believe they will become the 51st state", not that they want to, just that they believe it will happen. While "30 percent of Americans would like their state to become part of Canada". If you asked the Canadians if they want to become US state I guarantee it would be lower
What would have been interesting: How many Canadians would like an American state to become part of Canada?
I wouldn't want any of them to join my country.
No, thank you. Stay home, please, and fix your problems.
Our problems are and have been for 160 years one thing: The South.
Leaving them behind is fixing them.
You overestimate the U.S. citizens' ability to influence the U.S. Government. It is not a democracy and has not been at least for my whole life. People in the U.S. have effectively no control over laws that get passed.
Canada please decline this offer until a sane generation is old enough to vote, the current ones are broken
Oh don't worry 99% of us have been seeing the online requests and cackling at the sheer fucking hubris lmao
I'd love to see a map of support. I imagine the further north, the more likely to want to merge.
If all the nice Americans leave to join us, what happens with the rest? They’re gonna attack us!
If you’re a nice American and want to join us, bring fighter jets and nuclear weapons and stuff with you please!
