      I would love to be taken over by Canada. Can’t we just give California, Oregon and Washington the Canada please? Like all these MAGAs in the Midwest just love to talk so much shit about California and how terrible it is and how it sucks, so why should they care, right? You’d think they would welcome the idea, right? Oh but we have the big economy, and the ports, and grow a bunch of food, and make a bunch of technology. 🤔🤔🤔

    Nobody doing the math on the number of seats that “province” would have? All other provinces would lose their power. You think the pull Ontario and Quebec have is bad? Hooo boy.

      If you split the north and south into two provinces, they’d vote at odds with eachother enough to be controlled.

      Combine that with some good ol gerrymandering by creeping your provinces down into the US, you’d chip away at US votes enough I can’t imagine it’d really be a huge issue.

    idea: you guys invade and enslave all the rich white people, turn the entire thing into a streaming series.

    Professor Maxine Welkers of the University of Toronto Economics Dept. explains, “Given Americans’ low literacy rates, costly health insurance, and how much animal shit their FDA allows in their food, Canada annexing the U.S. is really more of a humanitarian gesture.”

    That line is gold.

      I will take the American doctors please. But not their healthcare system.

      Also anyone who is cool and not a narcissistic sociopath is invited too. The rest can be left out of the deal.

        just a portion of magats voting would be enough to ruin canada within a decade, unless it’s made only a ‘territory’ with a just single riding (like yukon, nwt, and nunavut each have)

          We could let them be a territory for a 150-200 years like they’ve been letting Puerto Rico sit as one. However long it takes for Puerto Rico, add an extra 50 years.

      Imagine Canada owning the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park.

      We would be undeniably the most beautiful country in the world.
