Please fucking do this Canada
Hell make us multiple provinces.
New England province
Cascadian province
Great Lakes province
Rocky Mountains province (capitol in Colorado of course)
And the rest: dumbfuckistan
hurt us daddy canada, we've been bad
The US is gonna be Carnegeddoned.
idea: you guys invade and enslave all the rich white people, turn the entire thing into a streaming series.
Professor Maxine Welkers of the University of Toronto Economics Dept. explains, “Given Americans’ low literacy rates, costly health insurance, and how much animal shit their FDA allows in their food, Canada annexing the U.S. is really more of a humanitarian gesture.”
That line is gold.
And true.
i don't want to be in a country with Ohio though
Hey I'm from Ohio D:
I'm so sorry that you're from Ohio
Hey now, Cincinnati is great. We got chili, we got King's Island, we got a museum with dinosaurs and a lot of historical stuff too, we got Graeter's Ice Cream, not exactly unique to Cincinnati but we have a baseball and football team that we feel very strongly about even if they don't always meet our expectations, we got one of the best zoos and botanical gardens in the United States, while it's not technically Ohio, we have the Newport Aquarium right across the river, we got all kinds of stuff!
Including corn. God we love corn.
It'll get renamed to 'Oh, hi eh!'
Sorry
Easy fix: Dig an Ohio-sized hole, fill Lake Erie back up with water and call it the Gulf of Intelligence.
Can we make some of them territories so they can’t vote.
The whole thing, can’t risk it. Plus it’s way easier to avoid any attacks on being biased if no.
However, we should make Puerto Rico a province.
Make Puerto Rico their bosses
What for? Why would anyone want to buy (even for free) 300 million of Americans?
They didn't say they'd be keeping the people.
just a portion of magats voting would be enough to ruin canada within a decade, unless it's made only a 'territory' with a just single riding (like yukon, nwt, and nunavut each have)
Imagine Canada owning the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park.
We would be undeniably the most beautiful country in the world.
Canada already is undeniably the most beautiful country in the world. We don't need Yosemite lol
“But then Trump went and, to use a macro-economic term, ‘shot America in the dick’. So now it’ll be easier to just buy the whole place.”
The greatest line Carney will ever utter.
New Yorkers rejoice knowing they're no longer the rudest countrymen now that the Quebecois are included
USA? You mean North Mexico?
Invest in yellow light filters for Hollywood cameras, this shit is loco.
Washingtonian here. Always loved Canada, just waiting to be annexed in.
We don’t want that dumpster fire. No thank you.
Some of the states are cool. Let MAGA have their own states, so they can find out for themselves how their experiment sucks.
None of the states are cool. Outside of the cities and urban areas its a red majority country. Incredibly racist and misogynist.
This is like going to the adoption agency and asking for the meanest, most disruptive child and then adopting that one.
MY BODY IS READY.
I'll chug maple syrup. Learn to ride a moose. Whatever it takes. But please make this happen.
Nobody doing the math on the number of seats that "province" would have? All other provinces would lose their power. You think the pull Ontario and Quebec have is bad? Hooo boy.
We can do an administrative region, and pull a Puerto Rico on them.
Keep it, we're good.
Sorry, we can only do with a 4th territory at best.
Just do it already. I'll fight to be Canadian 💪🍁
I do wish USA was like Canada
Ha! They can keep their wasteland. We don't need it.
While I would love for the PNW to become Canadian, I feel the only way out is either to secede alongside our fellow blue states (notably CA), or to wait for McDonald's to do its fucking job.
After that, we can rebuild and put not just safety rails BUT HARD LINES THAT REMIND OUR SHITTY ASS POLITICIANS WHO THEY WORK FOR.
We need complete reform because at the moment, I kinda wish the Brits would do what they are known for doing: colonizing other countries. Hell, I'm wishing we didn't have an independence day coming up right now....
Honestly a good deal of us would be happy to have leadership that isn't actively trying to kill us.
