Not just three, all the Blue States would like to switch to province.

As someone who lives in California, I would love this.

We'd love to have ya!

Have a chat with Hawaii, okay? Mom wants to go before she dies but she won't go with Trump in charge. Get them on board and even the flight's domestic. Woot!

Everybody hates Illinois. People who live there even hate it. I was born there and promptly left.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes. One million times yes. Let's watch the GOP fucking implode when the largest GDP State (CA) leaves their ass. It's insane they are whining about our fires... Idaho was far more on fire this year than us in California. And that was all forest, not literal neighborhoods that 100% raked their fuckin leaves.

Take Oregon and Washington and the USA is left without a Pacific Coast...LOL!

I live in WA and I want this more than anything.

Hey, take illinois. Its connected via the great lakes, and we may be #12 in terms of GDP, about 50-60%% of goods travelling by rail or road through the US have to go through us.

The Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways are busy in the Chicago area.

Here's a nice compromise position - Canada becomes a republic; in exchange, the West Coast and the East Coast down to Maryland (or Virginia) join as unincorporated territories or whatever the Canuck equivalent is.

please save us from Y'All Qaeda

It is the fact that the US is a republic that is the problem. If any US states join Canada they do it as a province of the federation.

I refuse to have anything to do with having a m*narch on my money 😤

I'm fine with being a province, but it's republic or bust

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's ok. You stay where you are and we'll stay a federation.

That's it, I support the Quebecois now! They'll understand the value of a good guillotine, at least

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's why all the billionaires are in such a hurry to get to space. Guillotines require gravity.

Canafornia, a Democracy with no need for an electorial college, and free of having the monarch on their money.
