        Lol like we’d build schools. More like demolish the schools and hand a zero bid contract to themselves to build private “schools” that use children as slave labor.

        Yeah, right, all those countries the US has invaded over the years have just loved it and look back at the results with fondness.

        If “us” here is the Canadians, yes please invade the US, build some schools, and leave. We’ll even let you burn down the white house again if you want

    Send them a counter offer, 13 states, all government documents must have a French version applicable by law and all communications must be done bilingualy. Just to see how fast they chicken out!

    Well that should convince the last of the Canadian snowbirds to divest themselves from whatever winter assets they’ve been holding on to. RIP Florida and Arizona housing markets - they won’t be back for at least a generation.

    Not hearing someone say no the first 100 times is definitely the sign of a rapist.

    Release the Epstein files!!

    What could go wrong, annexing a country with strong national identity and increasing ideological separation from the authoritarian shithole to their south? Hey, it worked in Austria back in 1938. I mean, the Austrians supported the idea but that’s just a matter of time for Canada, right?

    This spray-painted animate turd needs to go.

    How about we just take Quebec off your hands?

    Now, that’s the art of the deal, problem solved.

    Unless you live in Quebec, then my condolences because it’s about to get real rough for you.

      You know that the vast majority of Albertans are opposed to annexation by the US too, right? You don’t get to “offer” us to that shitgibbon.

      Also we don’t want any states in Canada. Even the bluest of states would represent a massive conservative voting block riddled with guns and crime. Let them sort their own problems out.

      New Englander here, can we go too? Joining New Brunswick would be ideal but we’ll join Quebec if we have to (though I doubt the Quebecoise would have us).

          I think all of New England could be a province. These days, there’s not much point in being such small states.

            It’s fine to take this opportunity for to review the governance and structure, but I think you should look at Prince Edward Island. This province has about 150k people. And there are 4 other provinces with under 1 million people (going by the 2021 numbers).
