US already has 50 and adding another star is so much more a pain in the ass.

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'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.

California, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington consent to this agreement. Where do we sign?

 reply

As an Oregon resident, I would be all for this. CA alone would be a pretty good chunk of federal taxes.

I would settle for just the Province of California.

It would surely bring me serenity if Cascadia became real.

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 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.

If Trump keeps being antagonistic, Carney should start calling him Premier Trump.

Who wants us?! Lmao. We are like the ugly chick with a nice ass and rich parents. Sure, some things are good, but not worth the attitude and no makeup versions.

US firearm enthusiasts would be the biggest problem.

Too late my Canadian brother, HertzDentalBar let us in. I promise to learn to speak Canadian and the words to our "hey Canada" anthem.

I've got to tell you, even joking about being Canadian take a huge weight off my shoulders. I didnt realize how much stress I was carrying around. Everyone try it, pretend Canada just made a deal to take your state over and you're now Canadian. Feels so good doesnt it.

They couldn't handle our freedom, national debt, gun violence, or rednecks. We would suceed inside of a week and Ontario would say "huh, what? Ok, whatever. Sorhry." I know the capitol of Canada is Ottawa, but that is the level of concern and relief to the Canadian populous and Parlament. We are the crazy partner you fuck with but couldn't sustain a relationship with because of how degen we are, but you keep cumming back because we got that good good dollar dollar bill y'all.

We would bankrupt the Canadian healthcare system within days.

Never thought I would talk to a real live goof.

Buckle up buttercup. I got patriotic goof that could compromise your entire national identity, should you let my patriotic degen allow you to experience what it is like to live a life of personal freedom at the cost of your suicidal empathetic feelings and financial prospects so you can defend your marijuana plants with your trans same sex partner with suppressed machine guns against minority illegals migrants that stab people because they exist.

You should look up what goof means in Canadian prison slang, Jared Fogle.

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.

 reply

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 surprised they haven't done this already.

We're afraid they might say yes.

How is he 94 years old while not even looking 70?

 reply

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 real in 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.

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

I don't blame Canada. It would drop the collective IQ of the country.

I mean, we’d trade you for Quebec - but you guys have enough trouble going on right now.
