Nah, we're good.
The way they word the contrast between Canadians and Americans is extremely biased."9 percent of Canadians believe they will become the 51st state", not that they want to, just that they believe it will happen. While "30 percent of Americans would like their state to become part of Canada". If you asked the Canadians if they want to become US state I guarantee it would be lower
What would have been interesting: How many Canadians would like an American state to become part of Canada?
I wouldn't want any of them to join my country.
Look on the bright side, you'd probably get the northern states like Vermont. 😀
I'm not Canadian, I'm European. I just would find it interesting to know, since I was told that Canada overall resembles more Europe than the USA.
The political left in the U.S. often aligns more closely with the center or even the moderate right in European countries, due to America's overall more conservative political spectrum.
So they would get an influx of center to far-right citizens. Can't think why one would want this.
Canada has universal health care. It’s not perfect, but I will say I had a bad fall last year which required an open reduction and internal fixation on my arm. It cost me nothing, and I had excellent care.
I’ll try be polite for conversation’s sake but my thoughts are: I truly wish these USAers would fix their country rather than opine about trying to join my nation which has quite a different outlook on life and noted cultural differences and expectations for it’s citizens.
Personally, I don’t want any of these supposedly “blue” states to join confederation honestly due to incongruent ideals and perspectives.
They should focus on working to solve their issues instead of trying to jump ship (which feels like “kicking the can down the road” because let’s be honest, in what world would the governing “party” of the USA actually allow that to happen peacefully or without retribution).
Sorry if this was came across curt/rude but my messaging is: fix your shit.
They’re not “supposedly” blue states. They ARE blue states. Their citizens voted “against” the shit show that is now the "high school council" government of the United States.
I thought this was weird (insidious?) as well.
I don't believe canada is perfect but the US is really fucking bad, so it would probably be an improvement.
Though enemies of the US would probably be cackling at it dissolving. US conservatives really are a heady cocktail of traitors and absolute fucking idiots.
Red States could finally achieve their dream of being third world countries 🥰
Rather than third world states?
Oh without blue states to help them they still have a long way to go to reach the point where they should be considering their political decisions.
You guys can't join till either trump is gone or we get some form of defence pact(noncompliance whatever) from individual states
If all the nice Americans leave to join us, what happens with the rest? They’re gonna attack us!
If you’re a nice American and want to join us, bring fighter jets and nuclear weapons and stuff with you please!
Canada could have nuclear weapons within 6 months if they needed.
Might be a long shot but id accept that in Florida. It would make maps hard but it would be worth it. Disney would be on board. They a pretty six of the repubs after the bullshit the last gov pulled
Was funny tho. Gov insisted on a meeting and a vote about what Disney could and couldnt do on their property. Only Disney showed up to vote.
You’re living in a fantasy world if you think Florida wants to join Canada. Florida has gotten redder and redder in the past few years. Disney could simply up and leave anytime if they wanted to.
This is almost as stupid as making Canada the 51st state.
Seriously, we shouldn't be feeding any annexation narratives.
Hell, I'll vote for my state to join just about any country with a functioning healthcare system.
Bet its even higher for some states.
Canada please decline this offer until a sane generation is old enough to vote, the current ones are broken
Oh don't worry 99% of us have been seeing the online requests and cackling at the sheer fucking hubris lmao
It would be amazing if we could have Washington and Oregon in Canada... :)
And California, make a land bridge between Canada and Mexico! Plus Canada would jump from 9th largest GDP in the world to 3rd largest!
Canada has a functioning government. Sign me up!
And universal health care, and 12 months EI for parental leave after the birth of a child.
I'd love to see a map of support. I imagine the further north, the more likely to want to merge.
