Pick me! Pick me! oh oh oh!
I think it's all noise to distract from issues US should solve on its own.
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... 🎶
Some required listening before joining: A Canadian comedy debate on whether O Canada is the best national anthem
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.

I think each individual state should be able to choose whether they stay in the US or not. Every ten years, the citizens of the state voted. If you vote to leave, you can’t come back for ten years. It would take place at the same time as the census.
Yes, the one aspect of the civil war that I have never agreed with was that a stare can not choose to leave the Union. If a terratory can vote to join the Union, I see no reason why they couldn't vote to leave it. On that note, I would also support the idea that the other states should have the right to vote out a state they no longer want in the Union.
You’re right. Self determination is a right we all have.
Which state is the Weakest Link?
Based on statistics, easily Mississippi. But most obnoxious is easily Texas. Texas would be my first vote out.
Seconded. If we oust Texas, we can regain control over the content in school textbooks.
People who want to flee can still be welcomed as refugees.

Just ignoring Florida's existence?
Eh, I'd love to boot all the old confederate states, but picking off the worst first only helps the whole.
Just a few more years
Mississippi? Alabama? Wyoming? One of those probably.
Maybe they can swap the US Alberta for them
That's where all their oil is... Don't give Trump any ideas.
Vermont... I think we could get this done pretty quick... In fact, I bet the rest of the US wouldn't even notice... Bonus, we'll bring Bernie.
Vermont is already a honorary Canadian province for producing so much maple syrup.
