Yes please, I will vote to support this.
Can we Philadelphians join?
👀
As someone from a South Jersey suburb of Philly: take me with you!
Any reasons why these two neighborhoods go against the grain? Are they the posh suburbs?
No, you guys know what you’ve done
Let the GOP force them to become a state. They’d get 2 senate seats and more electoral college votes and congressional seats than any other state. Just in time for the Dems to run on deannexing Canada.
I’m a bad feeling they’d Puerto Rico us
You are 100% correct.
Territories are still citizens, who can vote when they reside in states. If 2-3% of Canada immigrated, that’s 1 million people, which would shift the balance in a lot of places.
Of course, even if you shifted 10 seats in the Senate, the democrats would probably give republicans half the budget and let them write their own bills in the name of bipartisanship (again), and you’d quickly become as hopeless as the average american is in the democrats helping them.
Actually, no, they wouldn’t. They would have ZERO rights.
I’m super jealous because I’ve wanted to have Canadian citizenship since back in my late teens / early adulthood when I realized that there was already a version of America that actually lived up to American ideals and which offered same-sex marriage as well as universal healthcare. That weed and apparently codeine are legal there make it so much more bittersweet.
The only people I’ve known personally to get citizenship are those who married a Canadian citizen. Which sucks for me because I’m already happily partnered and there’s no way I’d give that up for anything, not even Canadian citizenship, awesome and appealing as it is.
Maybe if/when the US invades, if we fight for Canada they’ll give us citizenship.
FWIW I obviously don’t have the power to approve that but I would certainly vote to make that a thing!
I had an American friend who married a Canadian. It took SO much work to get her permanent resident card, like a lawyer and everything.
Unfortunately, Canada has MAID, and also likes to deny healthcare to natives in the hopes that they will just die.
Fortunately, Canada has MAID. Unfortunately, Canada has MAID in place of meaningful care.
Shocking. Do you have a source for that?
Thank you so much for linking that! I really appreciate it. Usually a lot of people get mad when I ask for a source. I just wanna learn!
Legal marriage and having a life partner are not the same thing. I’ll marry you and my partner will marry your partner, no big deal.
Guys guys guys, let’s be good friends with the EU, let’s even adopt some of their best policies, but honestly, they also have some baggage we don’t need.
I just want to be sovereign. How is that so hard for people to understand?
EU members are all sovereign, brexiter.
I’m Canadian.
No, I understand that. I was making a rhetorical point. You’re making the same uninformed argument that was behind brexit.
Believe me, we don’t want Orban either…
Ya both those prospects seem “Colonial”
Worth it.
Canada should totally call Trump’s bluff. The GOP would lose their everloving shit at the prospect of another state the size and political leanings of California involved in US federal elections.
It would be amazing if Canada made a bunch of demands that would be seen as unreasonable. Like, demand that every Canadian province and territory be split in two, and each be admitted as it’s own state. That would add 26 new states! There’s no way the US would go for that. I’m American, I hate this administration and I have been to Canada many times. Anything that Canada can do to mess with these morons in office would be welcome.
New update just dropped
I don’t see Erdogan being very happy about this map tho
That doesn’t look as absurd as it might seem at first!
especially once the north pole melts
Ya know, when you put it that way
Tap for spoiler
Pun intended. Get rocked.
When “the big one™” hits, can California join either of y’all?
Absolutely but only if you drop the Maga people off in Utah on the way out.
Pretty please yes! I would love to leave to US for the EU. But that hop across the water is very difficult for me to afford.
Don’t all member states have to vote us in? Can’t see that happening.
Another rich country paying membership fees. Why not? (Ignoring general bureaucratic problems)
As a Canadian, we promise to bring cake (and a shitload of natural resources) to the next meeting.
Fuck your cake. Fuck your natural resources. Fuck your bilungualism, affable manner, vast wildernesses and extensive waters. Keep them. We don’t want them.
WE JUST WANT THE POUTINE.
K.
Would you like extra gravy with that?
Especially with Hungary’s russian asset in command (yeah, we also have a Trump in Europe…)
Orban has to vote for Canada. Why? His regime will be over in 14 days if he does not get the EU money. Orban’s biggest rival is in first place according to the latest polls. If he wants to be re-elected, he cannot sabotage EU policy.
I’d be happy if we could just join the EEA. I want to be able to work in the EU.
I think it is not that hard for you if you are a Canadian citizen. The language is the real problem.
Honestly do people think this we’ll happen cause Brussels has already said no.
Back to supporting CANZUK then
Brussels can suck my balls we’ll wait 6 months and Strasbourg is in power ez bro
Is Canada having issues with sovereign autonomy? Why even sit at the table?
Washington, Oregon, and California as Canada’s 12th province. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and the northern 20% of Illinois and Indiana as the 13th.
I only hear Americans pitching this idea. Canada doesn’t want any of the states haha
I’m Canadian, I don’t hate the idea.
In any case, it’s clear that the USA is less “United” these days… It’s more just … The States of America now.
There’s like a lot of shitty people even in those states. I love Washington but no thanks.
Idk. I haven’t met enough people from any of these states to have an opinion.
Which is all part of the EU. Sign me up
Why not? I would vote yes to allow Canada into the EU.
