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.

I guess Oklahoma and Texas are driving that number down?

This is almost as stupid as making Canada the 51st state.

Seriously, we shouldn't be feeding any annexation narratives.

When shit hits the fan, just fight on our side (PS: Bring your national guard assets with you too, so they can fight on our side against the Nazis, thanks!).

You guys can't join till either trump is gone or we get some form of defence pact(noncompliance whatever) from individual states

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.
