There is no way Canada is down for paying the health care costs of Californians, let alone the cost of defense from an American military.
Considering them petitioning to leave Oregon, I feel like eastern Oregon would be very upset about this
That’s much better.
Needs Colorado on there somewhere too. That place is a blue oasis surrounded by a sea of red bullshit states on all sides.
They elected Hoedirt Boebert… no entry.
You say “they” as if states don’t have different districts. Boebert came from a right-leaning district, but was so toxic she couldn’t get re-elected there. So she had to move to an even more right district in order to win.
Add to that she’s actually a transplant from Florida, and it starts to make sense.
Yeah. Her saying “don’t you know who I am!?” and flipping off the workers after getting kicked out for refusing to stop vaping indoors and near pregnant women and performing public sexual acts at a musical where kids were in attendance… That’s pure Florida.
And New Mexico! Please don’t leave us with those shitheads.
I guess we could go to Mexico and take Colorado with us. The border can cross us again.
Not to the south, NM is just as blue if not more so.
If I recall new Mexico is the only state that had a full Democrat victory this last election with not one republican winning a single seat so pretty blue
I propose we get CO and they can have WI, MI and PA
Hey take some cities as enclaves too. Blue cities in red states don’t deserve that kind of punishment.
What about the liberals in conservative areas? We all gonna hold off because they’re gonna get eaten by the dogs, too? What about liberal kids of conservative parents?
Just like now where they can all move to Massachusetts, under this plan, they can move to Canada
I think the red area should get alberta, maybe saskatchewan too. And I would personally like to see the Alaska pan handle transferred to B.C.
Realistically this wouldn’t be possible, at least in the way most people assume. It’s hard for people to just uproot their whole lives and move to another state (though it’s easier these days), a partition like this would mean leaving behind a lot of liberal minded people, who are too poor or too rooted in a place.
Eggs and omelettes.
So would the genocide be the eggs or the omelets?
Neither, but I suspect you know your argument is in bad faith.
It’s better to protect some people than none, and if that means balkanizing the US then that sucks for the blue islands in the Bible Belt but we are in crisis and that means triage.
Sounds like you are in a nice situation.
It’d be a lot nicer if Alabama wasn’t dragging it down.
Illinois can stay.
What? No!
Okay, maybe everything more than 60 miles outside of Chicago can stay. Deal?
Nope sorry. Janesville has to stay too but we’ll take Madison and Milwaukee.
Fip off fips
Alaska would join Canada at this point I bet.
I’m sure the sane people in those new Canadian provinces would want universal healthcare, but would they be willing to give up their guns? I think most of Canada is appalled at the gun violence in the US and would make giving up guns an unconditional requirement of joining Canada.
Deaths by firearm, per 100,000 people, are about 1/7 the number in Canada as it is in America.
America has over 200 school shootings a year. 2024 saw a near record with 330 school shootings.
Canada? 6 in its entire history. To get to the grand total of 9, you would have to include post-secondary institutions.
If you truly want to “think about the children”, firearm control comes wwwaaaaaaayyyyy before banning books and taking away lunches.

Imagine.
Donald declares war on Canada.
Straight away all those states secede from the union and declare independence (States rights!)
Canada claims them all as allies.
TACO bell end Trump backs down.
States join Canada.
Donald declares war on Canada.
Minnesota is a solid blue state that deserves to join Canada as well
You gotta out compete Vermont and Maine for that title. A solid 1/3 of homes I drove by had Canadian flags out in VT.
The Michigan/mid-west accent is straight up the stereotypical Canadian accent lol.
Sure, bud.
As a Canadian, no thank you. California and New York would swallow us and we’d become “liberal United States”
What about Alaska then? Or Minnesota?
Hey you could always move to Texas and enjoy a conservative life. Too hot? Alaska then.
I have a problem with the “United States” part not the “liberal” part
Considering how much of Canada is inhospitable, that math seems generous — not even bringing up Texas, Alaska, etc. 👀
Then California goes to Mexico.
ain’t no fucking way your carving that out and leaving Minnesota behind, we’ve been basically Canada for hundreds of years
Getting California would make Canada shift in identity.
Getting Minnesota would honestly make us even more Canadian.
Listen, you just want to annex lake Michigan and take Chicago as a part of the bundle, I won’t argue. Because at this point I’m begging
please take all of Michigan. Please please please.
Best we can do is Yoop…
:(
Sorry, buddy…
As an American, I suppose I’m getting used to disappointment.
hugs
In fairness there’s a bunch of our homies left out. Maine, Vermont, Minnesota, NY, on and on. Leave America the scraps.
Maintenance Vermont and NY are all on the map as having been annexed. But also, I think realistically, California could probably sustain itself for a good long while. It might be better off as trade partners than as a province of Canada.
Except this is also how the “democracy” that is modern day Russia was created. Everything that’s happened in the U.S. since ~2012 that has been driving us to the brink of collapse by furthering the divide between left and right has been eerily similar.
Psychological Inoculation and Astroturfing: Preparing for exploitation of U.S. secession movements
A lot of people don’t know this, bc it’s not exactly clear what they were doing there, but coincidentally the Heritage Foundation also seemed to play a role in the creation of the first free market in the earliest days of post-soviet Russia.
thank you for not giving in to their rhetoric and letting this point die.
i get endless downvotes on all social media anytime i say a civil war is the absolute fucking worst outcome of any of the current trends.
guess people are just out for blood rn. i wouldn’t make it sound so innocent, tho. why are people out for blood? lots of answers, none satisfying enough.
Take an up vote from me. Civil wars nearly always end in tragedy beyond the imaginations of those who start them.
I believe the most obvious is they benefit (or at least believe they will benefit) from that outcome.
The Heritage Foundation is a society of monarchists. It’s supported by oligarchs who want to be king to push the world towards that agenda, and such oligarchs routinely infuse it with capital.
…furthering the divide between right and extreme right has been eerily similar.
Fixed that for you.
Do all the 19 year old Michiganders who drive to Toronto to drink mean nothing to you?
Why do we need counties at all? Why do we even draw borders to begin with?
Humans haven’t figured out how to live without laws yet. If you have laws, you have a region where those laws apply. Voila, countries.
Countries are just tribes that got bigger.
Why do tribes exist?
☝️🤓 Tribes are akshuly a logical outcome to the evolutionary pressures of social cohesion seen in species descended from pack hunters.
Administration is hard
Imagine
Beat me to it. 😉
There, FTFY
FTFY
Feel real bad for Illinois, Virginia, Colorado and New Mexico citizens.
And all the Democrats in the red states of course.
I don’t wanna be left behind in the failed states. But otherwise I approve of this message.
Chicagoan here; can we be a Canadian exclave? Please?
There’s a joke in there somewhere about “enclave” and The Bean… but I’m already imagining the band behind that name and what they play.
