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.

California for succession! But all BS aside I feel like the US is going to have a civil war over all of this because over half of us don’t want to live in stupid tecno patriarcal oligarch dipshitville with a deranged game show host frontman

I am originally from Michigan and I think Michigan would make a fine province in Canada. We all love beer, hockey, Ice fishing, fishing and affordable healthcare. Lets build the wall! The wall should be at the Ohio and Indiana border to keep those Trump supporters away from our inland lakes. #Michigan #FuckTrump

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.

Canadian Province of Oregon has a very nice ring to it!

I have a better idea, Make Alaska a part of Canada

Only the blue parts.

The red parts can go to hell.

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

Oregon also!

I guess Oklahoma and Texas are driving that number down?

It is time for global co-operation against Trump. Forget this silly divide and rule nonsense this bully is attempting.

All countries subject to tariffs now co-operate on joint tariffs against the US.

It is time we all put an end to this nonsense before it escalates. Let's put this moron, this belligerent non-cooperative fascist country in its new, much reduced globally influencing, box.

It is time for the US to pay its deficit.

Edit - I will say that Trump might want other countries to sell their US debt, in order to weaken the dollar to make the US an affordable manufacturer.

So:

  1. The rest of us decide on which currencies we buy: and this can not be the bitcoin the US might want countries to buy (rather than say the Yuan, or a basket of currencies that reflect global production).
  2. Selling debt has to be accompanied by a boycott of all US goods on an ongoing basis.
  3. This ends the post WW2 ... > ... petrodollar era of America's exorbitant privilege.
  4. Trump starts it, the rest of the world ends it. This is how, say, Europe, avoids the US/Russia alliance now threatening it.

You must stand up to bullies.

When shit hits the fan, just fight on our side (PS: Bring your national guard assets with you too, so they can fight on our side against the Nazis, thanks!).
