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.

We should give Texas to Mexico just to spite them

Having Arizona would be a big L for Canada

[–] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but how else do they get Colorado and New Mexico?

You'd have to create a corridor through Southern Idaho and Northern Utah to join the new state of "New Mexirado" with the rest if you removed Arizona... Hard work, but I believe it could be done.

As a New Mexican, I approve either of these options to join Canada

Hm. Went with cutting Washington and Oregon in half rather than full take. Pretty bold, but makes some sense.

[–] Baguette@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

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.

Eastern Oregon is already trying to join Idaho anyway

Y'all are going to regret taking Arizona. And, frankly, everything in California not in view of the coast.

I think they'd maybe rather be independent?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I don't think this is framed as a takeover.

Listen.

MD will take Pennsylvania and bring it into new Canadania as long as we can bring West Virginia with us too.

They’re dumb but they’re our dumbs.

You don't wan the middle of PA... Maybe if they just turn everything between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh into a weapons testing site? Turn it into "no man's land" like it was always mean to be.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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?).

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

why not Alaska too?

Fuck that bougie ass state. Entirely occupied by weapons contractors. Leave them in New Honkia

I was just hoping to be Canadian.
