I'd be happy if we could just join the EEA. I want to be able to work in the EU.

I think it is not that hard for you if you are a Canadian citizen. The language is the real problem.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

It is as difficult for us as it is for an American. It's not very common to be able to get a work permit without an employer sponsoring you and most EU employers have enough selection in Europe they don't need people from North America.

I speak French (fluent), Spanish (good but not well enough for a formal workplace), and enough Danish to make myself understood

Washington, Oregon, and California as Canada’s 12th province. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and the northern 20% of Illinois and Indiana as the 13th.

I only hear Americans pitching this idea. Canada doesn't want any of the states haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

The sane ones of us who live in those states are desperate. Soory

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

I'm Canadian, I don't hate the idea.

In any case, it's clear that the USA is less "United" these days.... It's more just ... The States of America now.

There's like a lot of shitty people even in those states. I love Washington but no thanks.

Wouldn’t need to stick exactly to the current state boundaries. Trim off the eastern parts of some of those states on the west coast. And get enough territory to fully encircle the Great Lakes, extended enough to include Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, all of Michigan, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and parts of upstate New York.

Idk. I haven't met enough people from any of these states to have an opinion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Well just look at how many of them voted for trump. People in canada would have never voted for that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Which is all part of the EU. Sign me up

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Is Canada having issues with sovereign autonomy? Why even sit at the table?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

Why not? I would vote yes to allow Canada into the EU.

Türkiye is gonna be pissed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Türkiye needs to get rid of its Erdoğan problem then.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Wouldn’t mind it one bit

How about the US just becomes provinces 14-64? I'll gladly take anything else.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You want more convoys? Ingesting the US will give you nothing but cancer. If it's not a city or a suburb, you're just absorbing indoctrinated fascism. It's pervasive.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Yea, I'll take the top 20.

Mexico can take the bottom 30

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

Nah sorry we're not taking the red states. They can be their own Christofascist hell elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

make a list of the ones y'all want we can work out a deal

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

So just all of new england, the pacific northwest and California.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

California already goes to Denmark though

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Can I raise you the proposal of Canada and Jesusland

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

this looks like a dragon head with cat / dragon torso and cat legs

Alaska needs to be integrated though, don't want another Kaliningrad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Good point, but it's an F'n red state.
