One in five Americans (20 per cent) polled by Leger this week say they would like their state to join Canada, more than double the proportion of Canadians who said they would like their country to become the 51st state of the United States. Article content

“Only 9 per cent of Canadians believe it is likely that Canada will become the 51st U.S. state. By contrast, 20 per cent of Americans would like their state to join Canada and become a Canadian province, a proportion that is higher among respondents aged 18 to 34 (30 per cent),” reads the new Léger report.

I'd sign up for it. Illinois isn't too far from Canada, and I'd live to see how the US gets by without Chicago. Good luck rerouting all your freight to avoid border crossings lol. Sigh. It'd never happen in a million years though.

No, thank you. Stay home, please, and fix your problems.

You overestimate the U.S. citizens' ability to influence the U.S. Government. It is not a democracy and has not been at least for my whole life. People in the U.S. have effectively no control over laws that get passed.

Our problems are and have been for 160 years one thing: The South.

Leaving them behind is fixing them.

I knew Americans were treating Canada badly, but that's crossing a line

On behalf of Washington State I accept this offer.

Perhaps we can organize a referendum

I guess Oklahoma and Texas are driving that number down?
