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.

Meee.

It’s me. I’m the 1 in 5 Americans. I would so much rather be there than here.
Same
Same
And nobody in Canada wants this because 70 million americans voted for Trump
I'd way rather join EU so we get smart people coming into the country
We do share a land border with Denmark. We settled a border dispute with Denmark on Hans Island. We also have France just a few kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland in St Pierre and Miquelon.
We should use that as a path to EU membership
I think it's on the State level not the whole US. I'm fine with that.
Would like New England so we can have it unite with New Scotland to form the New United Kingdom and have Prince Albert(a) from New Brunswick be it's Monarch's consort and patron explorers, like Columbus but British so a British Columbia, to sail the seas to claim New Found Land and Labour to teach New English to New France until they can have Nunavut anymore.
To those Americans: you know that means you get a king, right?
Compared to?
I will take Charles over Trump any day.
You don't need to sell it to them, they already want to join.
We don’t want US people seceding to Canada. Enough of their individualistic, manifest destiny, American exceptionalism poison mindset. I don’t want any more of that ideology to infect Canada any more than it already has.
any more than it already has
So many people I know get fuming mad at the idea of higher taxes because they think their income is going to be given to the poor. It's the same 'one good move away from being a millionaire' mentality that drives voters in red states.
I want my taxes going to the poor! Society does better when we raise the floor, like how raising minimum wage also means that everyone else gets bumped up or how it’s cheaper to house the homeless and help them join a workforce as opposed to leaving them out on the streets.
But more specifically I want the ultra-rich to actually pay their fucking taxes! They have the money, they can pony and help a little.
Oh grow a pair and start setting shit on fire.
if yall could do the white house again like last time it'd be much appreciated
Do it yourself.
honestly fair enough lol
I say we storm the capital next winter! /S
As a Texan, as much as I want to be a Canadian, I would not wish my asshole neighbors on my friends to the north.
Were sorry for Ted Cruz too, sorry
I forgive you. I do wish he’d go the fuck away though.
Surely you must mean Rafael Edward Cruz
That's his name?? Buahahaha
Yeah I'm not going to use his preferred name since he has made it clear he doesn't like preferred names. Full legal name only for Sen. Rafael Edward Cruz.
Everything is bigger in Texas, but especially the bigotry. Hope you’re doing well.
As a Texan, you should push for Texas to break into 5 additional states.
That's where I'm at I think. The ultimate sacrifice.
The US people wishing one thing and their stupid government doing exactly the opposite. Name a more iconic duo!
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?
scientists are smart enough to escape first, no such luck for MS, AND BS of stem though, as were not "valuable" in for-profit stem industry.
I hope Canada can change this.
One challenge has been that many of our best-educated people have left for the US, which has blunted some of the economic trickle-down effects that should accompany publicly-funded research. So we incur the costs but yet not reap the benefits, which dulls public enthusiasm for supporting this.
It’s entirely plausible to me that this system has been upended and think we should reevaluate these choices to consider expanding funding for science not directly tied to industry and short-term benefits. But I don’t think it’ll be as easy as snapping our fingers
Europe could also send over our USA-lovers to MAGA-land. I like the way you think.
Whatever it takes for USians to get healthcare. No country is as barbaric towards its own citizens as the Unites States.
Mmmmm. Have Canadians considered that these USAians might try to enter their country?
They may need to look at ways to prevent this, idk, maybe like building a wall? Or tariffs. Tariffs work for everything, though I don't really know what they are and can only spell it because of autocorrect.
