Can we split California? Northern Cal just seems like it should be Canadian honestly.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

No way man. We need all of California (where food grows anyway)! Mexico has tons of warm climate agricultural land. Canada has none!

Sorry!

Can we please have all of California? Except LA. Don’t want that!

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Tons of agriculture in the northern half of California. I live in Sacramento, it's like 95% people growing food. Hell, it's even called the farm to fork capital. We're a perfect fit for Canada! They can have the south.

Can Colorado belong to both? We play hockey, eat poutine, and make tacos, and speak Spanish.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'm down with Colorado. Just not that one half... You know the one...

There ought to be a UN controlled buffer zone, to avoid the creation of monstrosity like Poutine tacos.

[–] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 weeks ago

Well now that you've said it, we can't just go and put that genie back in the bottle!

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

What's your problem with poutine tacos? That sounds delicious.

[–] match@pawb.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

brb making birria poutine

[–] IonAddis@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Aren't carne asada fries just mexican poutine anyhow?

You start adding/subtracting ingredients to the fries the further north/south you go until you get poutine or carne asada fries.

SC would go Mexican before we went Canadian, change my mind

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

As long as they aren't in the same country as NC.

Can we tilt it a bit, maybe let Mexico have Oregon and Idaho and let Canada have Georgia and Florida? Canadians need a place to hit the beach in the winter without needing a passport, and some Mexicans would love to move somewhere where it never got hot. Plenty of Canadian retirees already live in Florida part time.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Economically this is a huge win for Canada, Atlanta is the business heart of the south and Florida gets the tourism money

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can't take the Florida out of Florida man.

We don't want Florida.

Damnit, now I live in Canada and work in Mexico.

[–] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Same. But at least we’re close to the border.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I speak passable Spanish, and Mexican food is awesome. ¡Con mucho gusto!

Oh wait, I live in Seattle. Sounds good, eh?

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Never forget, there's some good fishin' in Quebec.

I'll see you around bud. I'm going for a rip.

Map should say

Gulf of

  • ~~Mexico~~

  • ~~America~~

  • Mexico

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Personally, I'd rather see the map of north America be as colourful as a map of Europe rather then less colourful than it is now.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Please make Colorado a unified zone. I need maple syrup and tacos

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (8 children)

Authentic MexiCan™️ cousine.

Canadian bacon ranchero breakfast burrito.

Poutine nachos.

Fuck man. I'm down.

What else does Canada have? I'm already sold on the whole idea.

Maryland is left out. I was going to ask if they're going to be the United States. But that's one state... The One State of America.

[–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I was going to say America still has Hawaii, but the Hawaiians have been through enough.

You’re close but the real answer is “countries are made up and we all own everything”

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

But the reality is "countries are made up and we own nothing"

Finally, tex-mex can simply be called mexican food.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

This would be the only instance I would ever say that I'd love to live in a red state.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

California, Oregon, Washington and BC all need to be united under one country. Cascadia :)

You know what? Fuck yeah. I, for one, look forward to our new Mexican overlords.

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Por qué no both eh?

[–] Darkhoof@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Mexico really would get the short end of the stick.

If my state becomes part of Canada, I'd be cool with that!

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

Hey yo why the fuck am I still in the same country as the carolinas get that shit out of here

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This would have made the old NAFTA logo look a lot better...
