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.
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.
So i need to move?
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.
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'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.
Even NH could join up, and straight go the same way that Quebec enjoys.
sorry we got to do a purge first. we can't be joining any canada until we deal with this problem internally...
I, an Arizonan, would gladly become part of Mexico. A quarter of my heritage is there already.
Can we have California? I want their movie industry to be Canadian.
A lot of filming is done in Canada anyway because cheaper
Meee.
Those statistics are bs
Issue: Canada exterminates natives, proving extreme racism.
The inuit have their own area which is basically all of the northern part of Canada
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!!
