I'm down for that. I live in California, being a Canadian province would double Canada's population and more than double its GDP.

I think there’s a lot that we could offer each other. I’d personally love to see it.
sorry we got to do a purge first. we can't be joining any canada until we deal with this problem internally...
This is a horse shit idea. I don’t want the culture here to be watered down. I’d be wary of any state wanting to join confederation, and also concerned about the uptick in immigration from the USA.
Those statistics are bs
I'll offer you the state of New York. You can have the tax base of NYC. I'm sure most of New England minus New Hampshire would be down with this.

Actually id rather just break the united states into smaller countries.
Finding common ground and priorities with such a large populace is so non-productive.
There's an argument for states rights and a smaller federal government.
Individual Canadian provinces enjoy more Autonomy than your average US state.
States' rights can be great when you agree with the policies, but I'm personally harrowed by stories of state government showing obvious contempt for their big cities.
That could be solved by big cities having autonomy as well. Just like big cities in most European countries being their own province-level entities. Heck, don't even need to look further than Mexico City.
So i need to move?
I, an Arizonan, would gladly become part of Mexico. A quarter of my heritage is there already.
Can we have California? I want their movie industry to be Canadian.
A lot of filming is done in Canada anyway because cheaper
And nobody in Canada wants this because 70 million americans voted for Trump
I'd way rather join EU so we get smart people coming into the country
We do share a land border with Denmark. We settled a border dispute with Denmark on Hans Island. We also have France just a few kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland in St Pierre and Miquelon.
We should use that as a path to EU membership

It’s me. I’m the 1 in 5 Americans. I would so much rather be there than here.
In theory
I mean, I appreciate the sentiment, but, I would much rather Americans actually came together and fixed their own shit rather than bailing on hundreds of years of work by leaving.

Oh grow a pair and start setting shit on fire.
if yall could do the white house again like last time it'd be much appreciated
That was the British, in 1814.
Huh. Read up on it and yeah that's a more accurate description of "who" burned down the white house since it was British generals
In retaliation for US aggression against the Canadian (then) colony, which I guess is where the misconception comes from
In my defense my US public school history education was pretty dogshit
Make sure Krasnov and his little dog Vance are in it though.

Meee.
I’ll beat this drum again: I would fully support a program where we exchange equal numbers of MAGA loyalists in Canada for trained doctors, engineers, and tradespeople looking to escape fascism.
The Americans have already shown interest in this with their idea of importing white South Africans. Is this an impossible idea?
If it's dumb and it works, then you take the dumb and exchange it for the works, it's not dumb, well, the dumb isn't there anymore and now you have more works!!

Issue: Canada exterminates natives, proving extreme racism.
The inuit have their own area which is basically all of the northern part of Canada
As a Texan, as much as I want to be a Canadian, I would not wish my asshole neighbors on my friends to the north.
We already have a Texas. It's called Alberta.
