Speaking at a press conference last week in Ottawa, May called out the president-elect, saying, "Hey, Donald, have we got a deal for you? You think we want to be the 51st state huh? But maybe California would like to be the 11th province. How about it? California? Oregon? Washington?

I live in California and I'd like this. But then the USA would never have a non-GOP president ever again and that's against my conscience.

Technically that would make king charles my head of state seeing as I live in California. Not into that. A lot of pros/advantages though, I'll say that much.

Except seeing him on money he affects Canadians in zero ways. And y'all have Jackson on your money so I wouldn't go throwing stones.

King Charles has much less power than King Trump. Multiple orders of magnitude less.

I am aware, but it makes me finicky. Irks me irrationally.

As an American you should be used to picking between the lesser of two evils... This is an easy choice if you had to pick ...

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I started voting green party when I realized that that was the system - lesser of two evils. To me, it doesn't feel like the least of all evils, it just feels a little disappointing as a third party almost inherently. But then I get a second wind sometimes and concert myself to making something of it.

As a Washingtonian, I would LOVE for this to happen. It’s a shame she’s joking.

entire west coast: let us in!

I don think you’d have to become part of Canada to join the Commonwealth so maybe there’s a chance?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

I think it's all noise to distract from issues US should solve on its own.

[–] [email protected] 72 points 3 months ago

It's funny how much more favorable the comments are on this compared donnie's original comments.

Canadians on joining the US: "oh hell no!"

Americans on joining Canada: "me too please!"

As an American, let me just say, 🎶 Oh Canada... 🎶

California should totally join Canada.

Having similar values, California will finally be able yonreally become what it wants under Canadian law. It being a ginormous economy is nice too for Canada and would just plain bankrupt the US in one go.

They can have Alberta in return if they want

Only if we get autonomy that rivals the Quebecois, after all Canada will benefit far more from California's economy than California will from Canada. Also we demand all the dot CA domains.
