Washingtonian here. Always loved Canada, just waiting to be annexed in.
USA? You mean North Mexico?
Invest in yellow light filters for Hollywood cameras, this shit is loco.
This is like going to the adoption agency and asking for the meanest, most disruptive child and then adopting that one.
Nobody doing the math on the number of seats that "province" would have? All other provinces would lose their power. You think the pull Ontario and Quebec have is bad? Hooo boy.
Just do it already. I'll fight to be Canadian 💪🍁
Can I offer you New York State and all the economic power that comes with it? The US can keep Staten Island. We put our garbage there.
Hahaha. For a moment I thought this was real news and some politician actually said this. Then I saw beaverton.
Ahhh, finally! Peace!
I do wish USA was like Canada
I'd back this eh. I think aboot it a loot. Eh. Bagged milk.
Professor Maxine Welkers of the University of Toronto Economics Dept. explains, “Given Americans’ low literacy rates, costly health insurance, and how much animal shit their FDA allows in their food, Canada annexing the U.S. is really more of a humanitarian gesture.”
That line is gold.
And true.
I,for one, will welcome our new Canadian overlords with open arms
I would love to be taken over by Canada. Can’t we just give California, Oregon and Washington the Canada please? Like all these MAGAs in the Midwest just love to talk so much shit about California and how terrible it is and how it sucks, so why should they care, right? You’d think they would welcome the idea, right? Oh but we have the big economy, and the ports, and grow a bunch of food, and make a bunch of technology. 🤔🤔🤔
“But then Trump went and, to use a macro-economic term, ‘shot America in the dick’. So now it’ll be easier to just buy the whole place.”
The greatest line Carney will ever utter.
Woah is there a clip for this
I wish there was.
Oh shit i'm commenting on a beaverton article
Lol.
Can we make some of them territories so they can’t vote.
Canadian territories get to vote though
The whole thing, can’t risk it. Plus it’s way easier to avoid any attacks on being biased if no.
However, we should make Puerto Rico a province.
Hell no. Puerto Ricans overwhelmingly voted for Orange babboon.
Make Puerto Rico their bosses
i don't want to be in a country with Ohio though
- sincerely, an American
Easy fix: Dig an Ohio-sized hole, fill Lake Erie back up with water and call it the Gulf of Intelligence.
It'll get renamed to 'Oh, hi eh!'
Sorry
Hey I'm from Ohio D:
I'm so sorry that you're from Ohio
Hey now, Cincinnati is great. We got chili, we got King's Island, we got a museum with dinosaurs and a lot of historical stuff too, we got Graeter's Ice Cream, not exactly unique to Cincinnati but we have a baseball and football team that we feel very strongly about even if they don't always meet our expectations, we got one of the best zoos and botanical gardens in the United States, while it's not technically Ohio, we have the Newport Aquarium right across the river, we got all kinds of stuff!
Including corn. God we love corn.
🤮

We don’t want that dumpster fire. No thank you.
Some of the states are cool. Let MAGA have their own states, so they can find out for themselves how their experiment sucks.
None of the states are cool. Outside of the cities and urban areas its a red majority country. Incredibly racist and misogynist.
What for? Why would anyone want to buy (even for free) 300 million of Americans?
They didn't say they'd be keeping the people.
just a portion of magats voting would be enough to ruin canada within a decade, unless it's made only a 'territory' with a just single riding (like yukon, nwt, and nunavut each have)
We could let them be a territory for a 150-200 years like they've been letting Puerto Rico sit as one. However long it takes for Puerto Rico, add an extra 50 years.
Imagine Canada owning the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park.
We would be undeniably the most beautiful country in the world.
Canada already is undeniably the most beautiful country in the world. We don't need Yosemite lol
I will take the American doctors please. But not their healthcare system.
Also anyone who is cool and not a narcissistic sociopath is invited too. The rest can be left out of the deal.
America needs intervention to put it back in line
New Yorkers rejoice knowing they're no longer the rudest countrymen now that the Quebecois are included
MY BODY IS READY.
I'll chug maple syrup. Learn to ride a moose. Whatever it takes. But please make this happen.
Don't forget the poutine and beer.

Keep it, we're good.
While I would love for the PNW to become Canadian, I feel the only way out is either to secede alongside our fellow blue states (notably CA), or to wait for McDonald's to do its fucking job.
After that, we can rebuild and put not just safety rails BUT HARD LINES THAT REMIND OUR SHITTY ASS POLITICIANS WHO THEY WORK FOR.
We need complete reform because at the moment, I kinda wish the Brits would do what they are known for doing: colonizing other countries. Hell, I'm wishing we didn't have an independence day coming up right now....
