Im not an American but can they actually do this legally?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Legally? No. But you can’t secede legally either so there is a fuzzy line there somewhere should they start down that road.

Succession! And we’re taking Hawaii Oregon and Washington. We can trade with the EU and Canada. Maybe we can join the EU

It's too bad Utah and Nevada are between Colorado and California...

If we’re fixing America’s beshittlements, can we restore the Hawaiian monarchy?

Secede and then we can trade :)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If they secede you will definitely not be trading with either half for a long time.

Better than the current situation honestly. Both being preoccupied is better than Trump’s admirations of Canadian minerals

Not if you get all the nuclear fallout.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think I’d rather be nuked than be lead by the orange man ngl

I don’t know if you understand the pettiness and absolute disdain of the idea of being American that Canadians have. I live in Ottawa so I would be in the city that gets nuked if it came to that
