US already has 50 and adding another star is so much more a pain in the ass.

They couldn't handle our freedom, national debt, gun violence, or rednecks. We would suceed inside of a week and Ontario would say "huh, what? Ok, whatever. Sorhry." I know the capitol of Canada is Ottawa, but that is the level of concern and relief to the Canadian populous and Parlament. We are the crazy partner you fuck with but couldn't sustain a relationship with because of how degen we are, but you keep cumming back because we got that good good dollar dollar bill y'all.

We would bankrupt the Canadian healthcare system within days.

They couldn't handle our freedom

What does that mean?

Freedom of speech? People are being detained, arrested, and deported because they said things on their phones that are critical of the president.

Freedom of religion? People are being forced by law to follow the rules of "Christianity".

Freedom of association? Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is being outlawed. Better not associate with minorities or "Libs" or you risk retribution.

Freedom to Travel? If you think being freely traveled to El Salvador counts...

Freedom of privacy? People are being harassed in bathrooms to "prove" their gender (how the hell do you do that?)

Life? People are being denied necessary life saving medical treatment due to that lack of Freedom from Religion we talked about earlier.

Liberty? People are being detained and deported without due process

Persuit of Happiness? LGBTQ people having their protections stripped away and need to hide who they are.

Other than the "freedom" to have people around you openly carrying deadly weaponry while shopping at a grocery store, what freedoms do Americans have that Canadians lack?

Never thought I would talk to a real live goof.
