One in five Americans (20 per cent) polled by Leger this week say they would like their state to join Canada, more than double the proportion of Canadians who said they would like their country to become the 51st state of the United States. Article content

“Only 9 per cent of Canadians believe it is likely that Canada will become the 51st U.S. state. By contrast, 20 per cent of Americans would like their state to join Canada and become a Canadian province, a proportion that is higher among respondents aged 18 to 34 (30 per cent),” reads the new Léger report.

Might be a long shot but id accept that in Florida. It would make maps hard but it would be worth it. Disney would be on board. They a pretty six of the repubs after the bullshit the last gov pulled

Was funny tho. Gov insisted on a meeting and a vote about what Disney could and couldnt do on their property. Only Disney showed up to vote.

You’re living in a fantasy world if you think Florida wants to join Canada. Florida has gotten redder and redder in the past few years. Disney could simply up and leave anytime if they wanted to.

Yeah just pack up the Castle. Certain areas of Florida are getting reder.

There's a joke in Florida "where should I visit, where are the cultural scenes, good museums, nice clubs" and we pull up an election map and point at the blue.

As for Disney they can't "move" they would just stop funding that park until it died. There's no moving it.
