This just in: 1 in 5 Americans deported to Salvadoran prisons, selection is random
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.
Sorry, but you’re not welcome.
Person-for-person, maybe; but with very few exceptions, we don’t really want or need US territory.
I’m not sure they realize how different it is. I think even the Democrats would find it too liberal.
Yes all Canadians are famously liberal, great take
They wear speedos, I seent it!
I wonder which states the majority of these people are in.
It links to a map, https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-states-most-likely-secede-1870679 (archive: https://archive.ph/oGlKO )
Surprising that support in Alaska (36%) and Texas (31%) is so much higher than the national average, I’d have thought it’d be blue states leading, shows what I know…
Oh wait, those are just those most likely to secede. Not wanting to join Canada.
Yeah let’s take Alaska and complete the whole northern section of the continent!
Alaska does make sense because of their geographic position but Texas is definitely an outlier.
Texas is definitely an outlier.
Fuckin proper Dark Horse…
The big cities in Texas are pretty blue. I imagine they make up the 31 percent who want to secede.
I’ve suggested that the entire NFC North could just become Canadian providences. Parts of Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois already feel like Canada anyways. Also we’d dominate the CFL!
Full disclosure: I live in Michigan.
I’d love for that.
However, as a Canadian … seeing Michigan go red broke my heart.
Unfortunately the red sections of Michigan stayed red, and the large groups of voters in the blue sections bought into the whole “genocide Joe” bullshit. The actual vote totals showed that red votes stayed pretty level with the 2020 and 2022 numbers, while blue voters just didn’t turn out. Hopefully this is a fucking wake up call.
As an American I felt the same way about Wayne Gretzky.
As someone in michigan, me too buddy.

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.
Whatever it takes for USians to get healthcare. No country is as barbaric towards its own citizens as the Unites States.
Well, maybe North Korea.
Hey, stop insulting North Korea like that, at least Kim isn’t a complete dumbass with fake tan.
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?
Europe could also send over our USA-lovers to MAGA-land. I like the way you think.
Yeah just put them all in a big dystopian hellhole, its basically what they want so you’re actually making them happy by doing it. They can worship billionaires while complaining about not having any social benefits and experience hardships like a bunch of repressed peasants.
Are we doing Escape from New York on a national level? I’m for it.
Fuck yeah!
They will cry about having their faces eaten off, but it kind of won’t be our problem anymore.
You just need to convince them that they are making it happen themselves.
And using a fishnet boat.
I’ve pointed out before that most of the MAGA-land folks in Canada likely currently don’t have a viable path to immigrate to the USA, see https://lemmy.ca/post/41215108/15425311 and https://lemmy.ca/post/41215108/15458003
But that doesn’t mean we can’t make one for them!
I imagine we could easily negotiate something like the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement, but between Canada and the USA - but with the additional condition that MAGA is a disqualifying condition for coming to Canada.
Like the TTTA, we should also allow the green card holders in.
Yeah likely would need to create a special system of refugee status or similar. Maybe around the concept of escaping “woke-ism”?
It doesn’t even need to be equal, TBH, although if we have a refugee wave we probably will need to restrict them from some of the housing supply.
Each refugee can keep 1 home for every 3 homes they build. Obviously one human isn’t building 3 homes, but if a squad of 50 refugees build 150 homes, they keep 50 and sell 50. This includes turning single family homes into plexes.
Im conflicted on multi-use buiness sapce. Either homes can be replaced with businesses at a ratio set by each city, but probably somewhere in the 1/5 to 1/10 range; or business are excluded from the sell 2/3rds rule (aka you could build a 4 plex with 3 homes and one business, than keep one home and one business, selling 2 homes)
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Ah yes, lets build houses with 0 code by people who are VERY unfamiliar with our climate
Sounds great till you put 2 brain cells together
[Doctor with stethoscope confusedly swinging a hammer]
I mean, that’s in the end how it works, right? Immigrants take your houses/jobs/whatever, but they also make them, and actually at a higher rate than they take them for several reasons.
It’s just them all coming at once faster than we can build stuff that would be the problem. When an American asks me about emigrating on here, I say “bring an RV”.
We’ve got a bunch of cookers in Australia we need to dump too.
Make it crokadil and you have a deal.
That’s the perfect meme, because I do feel guilty about how this fucks over my friends and family in the US. But as they don’t seem motivated to fix their own country, I feel like this may be a good way to at least help some people
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.
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.
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.
This comment won the internet for today.
I say we storm the capital next winter! /S
Canada, don’t do it
I AM the danger!
No thanks. More Americans is the last thing we need in Canada
So more Chinese?
Does it have to be one or the other?
Didn’t you hear? The world is only made up of Canadians, Americans and The Chinese™
No, there’s a half Asians in USA too.
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
Surely you must mean Rafael Edward Cruz
I mean, we’d be okay with taking Austin. We’re already familiar with their City Limits.
That’s where I’m at I think. The ultimate sacrifice.
As a Texan, you should push for Texas to break into 5 additional states.
Everything is bigger in Texas, but especially the bigotry. Hope you’re doing well.
The US people wishing one thing and their stupid government doing exactly the opposite. Name a more iconic duo!
Michigan for Michiganders. Fuck these southern assholes taking my resources. They should be paying for them.
What’s good for the Michigoose is good for the Michigander.
