Hi, American here. Please don't, we really ain't it. Besides all the best TV shows are made in Canada!
Cheeto is doing his "firehose of BS", trying to distract from the fact that he's going to rob us blind, and not do anything he promised.

MODERATORS
In related news, nearly a quarter of Canadians read at a 6th grade level, and 20% of those are functionally illiterate.
I'm open to a Schengen style agreement with open borders like Europe has. Even a common currency would probably be fine. No way you are imposing that shitshow of a federal political system on us though.
We'd probably have some difficulty figuring out if Canada was gonna be a Republic or the US would be part of the Commonwealth-type.
I could see that mess boiling down to a duel.
I fully endorse fights to the death between politicians to settle mundane bureaucratic questions.
Common currency is never going to happen. One companies bennifet from our lower dollar. Second our dollar is so much lower I just don't see it happening.
the discussion about this whole thing reads at a 1st grade level. "Lets just do it, we're so much like them anyway, we'd pay less taxes, Canada is fucked, its not a bad idea honestly"
and this is supposed to be a dicussion about merging two fundementally different governments, tens of thousands of laws, and two economies involving like 360 million people? I'll shorten it for you. IT IS NOT HAPPENING. Such a thing would take DECADES of work and require both sides to be on board the entire time.
the only scenario that remains feasible for this desired end result. is a mother fucking invasion.
Democracy is precious, and its also fucking lethal. Because it gives traitors and brainrot paitients a vote.
Abacus Data found that Quebec was the province with the highest proportion of respondents (77 per cent) saying they are "absolutely against."
No surprises here, I'm not gonna do the math, but that might push Anglo Canada up to a 1/3 open to it or something along those lines.
Fuck no, I'll move to Europe and renounce my citizenship if it happens.
I'd rather have Quebec be its own country than have anything to do with the US.
hmmm....I wonder what percentage of the Canadian Population is Albertan and Saskatchewanian...
I live in a province of traitors.
What shitty reporting!
To reach one quarter (actually 24%), they had to count everyone who didn't answer "absolutely not". This means it includes a bunch of "not in favor" as those that are open to the idea!
Elsewhere, it said that only 1 in 10 were in favor.
If the poll had four options, it means:
- Absolutely not: 76%
- Would rather not: 14%
- In favor: 4%
- Absolutely Yes: 6%
Edit: numbers. They're not clear on the exact digits, trying to fudge them their way...
It's probably everyone between Manitoba and BC, being governed like an occupied state doesn't engender the people to the crown
Honestly I don't care either way. Not like if America wants to do it we can stop them anyway.
