What say you?
'We're not gonna make it, are we? People i mean.'
'It's in your nature to destroy yourselves.'
I feel like that would be awful for Canada
I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen...
If the citizens want to be, sure. If not, then no.

Tyranny just overthrew you. Your gun's no use 'cause they outdrew you.
But you don't realize it do you, that the truth is now long gone.

That's a little too "if I have to suffer then they have to suffer" for my tastes, considering that it's not their fault.

Like, MAGAt suffering, sure, that's karmaically reasonable, but why am I punishing Canada for their fuck-ups?

It's entirely up to Canadian citizens but I don't see why they would want to, and logistically it seems impossible unless each province becomes a separate state.
Thanks for reading!
Wasnt Puerto Rico supposed to be the 51st? But they probably dont want to be it either now.
rather have japan but being picky isn't my thing.

They've voted against it a few times, I think.

If they want to join us, I wouldn't mind. They'd easily tilt the voting population to the left.
No, Canada deserves to be free. I also wouldn't wish anyone being part of our shitty union.
Many Bothans died to bring you this post.
No that's stupid, they would need to become multiple states.

If Canada wanted to to the US I would not be opposed. But I would be confused why they would want shitty health care.

Did you even look at that article you linked to? Puerto Rico has voted for statehood repeatedly . Four times in the last 12 years.

There is one and only one reason Puerto Rico hasn't been given statehood: Republicans refuse to allow a Latino-majority state to be added.

Get in line Canada! DC should be the 51st state.

No, I want Alaska to become a Canadian province please
I don't understand how the entire country of Canada becomes a single state tbh. But I'd be down for it to balance out the fascists as long as we didn't have to take Quebec.

If Canadians wanted it, sure.

If Canadians don't want it, no.
Canada's population isn't even a quarter of the states so I doubt it would balance out the reds much.

For their sake, absolutely not.

Selfishly though, adding a second California would effectively kill the Republican party.

As an American living in Canada, I can tell you the sentiment that I hear, and fully agree with, is "fuck trump".
I don't see what Canadians are used to being compatible enough with the US to make it even possible. Completely revamping their healtchcare system to fuck them over would be one of many changes that Canadians would be unhappy about
I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.
Not in it's current form, but I do support nations eventually merging into bigger Super-States later this century.

Especially with the absurd idea of making a nation of 42 million people become one state. Instead of the blatantly obvious way that such a merger would have to go, making each Canadian province into a state. (Though that would have major problems of its own, since some of Canada's provinces are tiny , even smaller than Wyoming. The point is, though, that none of Canada's provinces are going to accept a demotion in status.)

Yes, because I work in Canada and I literally give over 30% of my income to their useless government and their god awful healthcare isn't worth it at all. Plus literally every Canadian I work with wants it so give the people what they want.

Our god awful healthcare fixed my year old nephew's double hernias for free.

How much would that have cost in the states?

Did a quick DuckDuckGo search on this out of sheer curiosity and the first result gives us a ballpark figure between $3,900 to $12,500. I dunno about you, but most folks here in the States dont have that kinda money just lying around.

You in Alberta? Only Albertans even somewhat want to join the USA and even then the majority of the people in the province do not want to join the USA.

Inaccurate. The votes came out to a majority for statehood, but the movement against statehood is the very simple tactic of "we don't like this so we're just not participating", which is why only a third of the population voted.

Before any false accusations fly, note that I think Puerto Rico should, and eventually will, be a state. Their infrastructure is deeply and irreparably damaged, and it's going to collapse within our lifetime.

No one with a positive IQ would wish that on Canada.
Maybe they'll let California be the 11th province.
No, that's braindead stupid. Even if I wanted to annex Canada, I wouldn't be dumb enough to think the whole thing would be one effin state.

Chuds who are too afraid to voice their real opinions.

Can we be the 11th province instead?
