sorry we got to do a purge first. we can't be joining any canada until we deal with this problem internally...
I'm down for that. I live in California, being a Canadian province would double Canada's population and more than double its GDP.
I think there’s a lot that we could offer each other. I’d personally love to see it.
This is a horse shit idea. I don’t want the culture here to be watered down. I’d be wary of any state wanting to join confederation, and also concerned about the uptick in immigration from the USA.
I, an Arizonan, would gladly become part of Mexico. A quarter of my heritage is there already.
I'll offer you the state of New York. You can have the tax base of NYC. I'm sure most of New England minus New Hampshire would be down with this.

Actually id rather just break the united states into smaller countries.
Finding common ground and priorities with such a large populace is so non-productive.
There's an argument for states rights and a smaller federal government.
Individual Canadian provinces enjoy more Autonomy than your average US state.
States' rights can be great when you agree with the policies, but I'm personally harrowed by stories of state government showing obvious contempt for their big cities.
That could be solved by big cities having autonomy as well. Just like big cities in most European countries being their own province-level entities. Heck, don't even need to look further than Mexico City.
So i need to move?
Can we have California? I want their movie industry to be Canadian.
A lot of filming is done in Canada anyway because cheaper
Issue: Canada exterminates natives, proving extreme racism.
The inuit have their own area which is basically all of the northern part of Canada
Meee.
And nobody in Canada wants this because 70 million americans voted for Trump
I'd way rather join EU so we get smart people coming into the country
We do share a land border with Denmark. We settled a border dispute with Denmark on Hans Island. We also have France just a few kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland in St Pierre and Miquelon.
We should use that as a path to EU membership

It’s me. I’m the 1 in 5 Americans. I would so much rather be there than here.
In theory
I mean, I appreciate the sentiment, but, I would much rather Americans actually came together and fixed their own shit rather than bailing on hundreds of years of work by leaving.

I’ll beat this drum again: I would fully support a program where we exchange equal numbers of MAGA loyalists in Canada for trained doctors, engineers, and tradespeople looking to escape fascism.
The Americans have already shown interest in this with their idea of importing white South Africans. Is this an impossible idea?
If it's dumb and it works, then you take the dumb and exchange it for the works, it's not dumb, well, the dumb isn't there anymore and now you have more works!!

We don’t want US people seceding to Canada. Enough of their individualistic, manifest destiny, American exceptionalism poison mindset. I don’t want any more of that ideology to infect Canada any more than it already has.
Can you at least start letting in trans US refugees before they all get genocided? Because it's already started.
Of course. I really want this. Trans US people should be able to claim refugee status in Canada. I really hope the govt makes this a possibility soon. Right now the Canadian govt hasn’t issued a travel warning for the US even though Canadians are being detained and held for nothing.
any more than it already has
So many people I know get fuming mad at the idea of higher taxes because they think their income is going to be given to the poor. It's the same 'one good move away from being a millionaire' mentality that drives voters in red states.
I want my taxes going to the poor! Society does better when we raise the floor, like how raising minimum wage also means that everyone else gets bumped up or how it’s cheaper to house the homeless and help them join a workforce as opposed to leaving them out on the streets.
But more specifically I want the ultra-rich to actually pay their fucking taxes! They have the money, they can pony and help a little.
