America's like the only place where if we were invaded, we'd cheer on the invaders.

Canada you need to take this shit over, save us from Republicans

[-] wampus@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago

American idiots voted in a convicted felon, alleged child rapist, and prolific pantshitting dictator. They voted this guy in even after he'd tried to overthrow their government the last time he lost. They WANT what's going on.

I don't want them to be part of Canada's voter base.

[-] BranBucket@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yup. Save yourselves. The US should expect to self rescue.

[-] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

Don't do it, Canada.

You'd suddenly be expanding your population 8-9x over (even factoring a war in), and at least 40% of the newly minted Canadians would 'think' and vote like Albertan roughnecks.

My High School mascot, from New Jersey, was literally a Canuck.

I was like, "that's crazy, like what would that logo even look like, a Mountie? A woodsman in flannel?" - because there's no image on the wiki article.

Then I found this old article which contains the funny backstory, and explains its definitely a woodsman, and used to be a pine tree..

“Look, I was always embarrassed by our symbol,” says assistant principal Ralph Sorrentino, a North Plainfield football player in the ’50s. “We had a mascot dressed as a tree. South Plainfield had a tiger.” It was a particular problem when they played the Metuchen Bulldogs. “You know what dogs do to trees,” he says.

So in the early 1970s North Plainfield’s teams became the Canucks—woodsmen who cut down trees.

Yeah, IIRC, it was a bearded woodsman holding crossed axes, or something like that. Maybe it was an axe over one shoulder.

The "Little Canada" is also pretty questionable too.

North Plainfield is just across a tiny river and North of Plainfield. Plainfield has a very high black population and pretty fucking ghetto, at least on Front through 4th st. (I lived on 4th Street for six months... the first murder of a new year was right on my front lawn. It was a drive by... stabbing. My mom immediately moved us to North Plainfield and just by crossing that little stream, we went from counting crack vials, on the side walk, on my way to school, to manicured lawns and all white neighbors that wave. So North Plainfield was making a comparison of itself to Plainfield as Canada to the U.S..

I am still not sure how to take that.

I learned French in high school.

I'm ready to accept my new governance.

thank you i am not sharing a province with utah

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago

Ya, we don’t want Florida, you can just sink it.

[-] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

But you already have Albeta. You could just make it a home for all the anti vaxers and isolate them. Let the ocean take care of the rest as it continues to rise.

should be either Nueva España or Nova Hispania

[-] ElJefe@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Fuck that. California, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, and Texas should just be given back to Mexico. None of this assigning colonist names.

If God would have only saved the Queen then this could've been ours. /s

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

maybe god did save the queen by killing him

[-] RickyRigatoni@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

Ew I don't want to be neodutch.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 5 points 2 days ago

Giving Colorado, Montana, and part of the Dakotas to the natives is cool but I do feel like the majority of other tribes are getting sort of shafted by comparison. Honestly, Cheyenne population is so small after the Sand Creek Massacre and similar events that they don't even make up 1% of native populations. The Navajo, Cherokee, and Alaskan Natives, for example, each measure in the hundreds of thousands. About 8,000 people self-identify as Cheyenne and only 800 speak the language.

Well, one thing the U.S. and Canada have I'm common is their shitty treatment of natives.

I wouldn't expect much in that direction.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Seems a bit telling that they couldn't imagine another term than 'Indian'.

[-] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that's got a lot of backhanded goodwill background racism loaded up there.

[-] roserose56@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Looks perfect, I'm in! Whene do we start?

[-] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Not sure I'd want Dominion to include Texas, Louisiana, Florida, or Carolina. Not sure about Virginia. Aren't they mostly MEGA cultists?

[-] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

This version of Virginia also includes West Virginia and Kentucky, so yeah it'd be MAGA.

Northern Virginia by itself is fine due to proximity to DC.

Why the fuck not? Skulls are cool; especially if unsustainably sourced from fascists.

[-] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

OK but if you assimilate all land you've left nowhere to exile the undesirables that aren't happy with this arrangement. If your leadership's policy popularity is 50%, your country should split.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Nonsense! This leaves your with three perfectly suitable oceans on your own coastline to deposit that trash into.

Just make to remove their clothes and personal effects first - we wouldn't want any of the marine wildlife to encounter a choking hazard in one of their new snacks.

[-] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev -3 points 1 day ago

Uhh, can we change Huron to Michigan? Please?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago

It's better with Iroquois names.

[-] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Michigan is an Ojibwe name. It means "Large lake"

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago

They aren't renaming the lake, they are naming it after the group of Iroquois who used to live there.

[-] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 0 points 1 day ago

I didn't say they were renaming the lake. Ojibwe used to like in that area too, hence why the lake has that name.
