US already has 50 and adding another star is so much more a pain in the ass.
Fully agree, where to start?
first assasinate donald and vance
Please save us from neoliberalism.
I’m in!
No thanks, I don’t want Canadians who think they are American in my country
I certainly don’t want more of them
I would settle for just the Province of California.
Not without Washington, you won’t. Cascadia Now!
As a New Yorker, please liberate us
I read that like George Costanza.
“CASCADIA NOW!!”
It would surely bring me serenity if Cascadia became real.
When you’re torn between not making the Russian psyop a reality and also not wanting to be trapped in a union with moronic sociopaths.
Hey Michigan is basically already Canadian, we can just blend in.
Can confirm, lived in Michigan over a decade. Yoopers are more Canadian than most Canadians.
I grew up in Northern Wisconsin and you are not wrong.
Ah… cheese folk, huh? You can join Canada too, as long as you leave those processed plastic sheets behind.
Including the special kind of redneck you get when your house can be buried in snow.
Northeastern South Canada too!
I think we should return governing authority to the natives the US stole the land from. Sorry native Americans, this dumpster fire is yours to fix now.
There are few things more American than reducing a place to rubble and then being like: “Here. We’re bored with this so you can have it back now. Aren’t you so thankful that we liberated you from
your home, family, possessions, health, and everything you’ve ever knownthe *bad guys?”*Disclaimer
Elimination of bad guys not guaranteed. Local residents providing assistance may be abandoned without prior notice.
Alright you sons of bitches, I’m in.
Put it to a vote and I bet it would surprise you which states would leave the US right now.
Pretty sure the entire west coast would bounce. Especially California, aka the 4th largest economy in the world.
That’d be hilarious.
Besides the geography problem, I’ve said the West coast and the northeast should become their own country.
Those ones can just join Canada, geography problem solved.
When the Balkinization of the US happens, the West Coast will be thr first to break off.
Balkanization*
As rule of thumb, try to keep the root word intact (Balkans here) as much as possible. It doesn’t work 100% of the time, but it’s a good heuristic.
That’s genius, But treat them as a territory, they don’t get the be a province. But our current territories should be made provinces first, they deserve better representation especially with climate change making the areas more comfortable for living.
you drive a hard bargain, we accept. You can even alter the deal and add more terms, but I warn you we will still accept. No take-backsies on the deal, we are Canadians now. Good luck, rest of USA, you bunch of effin losers. You’re a real disappointment.
Good luck, rest of USA, you bunch of effin losers
hosers, you’re Canadian now, ya gotta speak Canadian
California, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington consent to this agreement. Where do we sign?
As an Oregon resident, I would be all for this. CA alone would be a pretty good chunk of federal taxes.
Canada agrees.
Then we can tax the shit out of anything from China crossing the territory to get to the remaining United States.
Wellll… The western parts of Washington and Oregon. Out in the desert is another thing. Those guys are pretty well cooked
Leave them. Let them have the years they voted for.
Illinois volunteers as well
Captain Kirk setting these Nazis straight.
We don’t want you. Split into 50 countries and we’ll deal with the sane ones. We could make an American Union. But we won’t merge
Yeah, I don’t want me either :/
Mr 0
Can you take New England please?
Bill Shatner’s a badass.
Shatner had a well earned reputation as an egotistical asshole for a long time, but he does seem to have become more reasonable in recent years
Mmm. Except for his extremely stupid grudge against RedLetterMedia when he misinterpreted good faith praise as insults on twitter and kept doubling down refusing to believe he could be wrong.
Is he still a transphobe
How is he 94 years old while not even looking 70?
In 2286 he did a slingshot maneuver around the sun to go back in time. Get with it, dog.
Always count on Lemmy to keep it
realin accordance with Starfleet archives.
For the other people who were also doubtful that the thumbnail was how he currently looks, yes he really looks like that right now at 94 years old.
Money
And money spent on hair plugs.
I dunno. Let it fester as a territory for a while. Maybe Nunavut has languished long enough. Time to elevate the places we already have.
it would have to be a territory… or territories, even it’s 50 of them. as territories only get 1 mp each. a 340+ million population province would get like 90% of the seats in parliament.
I’m sold, make it so.
Engage?
Aye captain!
Allons-y!
If Trump keeps being antagonistic, Carney should start calling him Premier Trump.
