Can we split California? Northern Cal just seems like it should be Canadian honestly.

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

No way man. We need all of California (where food grows anyway)! Mexico has tons of warm climate agricultural land. Canada has none!

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Tons of agriculture in the northern half of California. I live in Sacramento, it's like 95% people growing food. Hell, it's even called the farm to fork capital. We're a perfect fit for Canada! They can have the south.

Can Colorado belong to both? We play hockey, eat poutine, and make tacos, and speak Spanish.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

I'm down with Colorado. Just not that one half... You know the one...

There ought to be a UN controlled buffer zone, to avoid the creation of monstrosity like Poutine tacos.

[-] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 20 points 6 months ago

Well now that you've said it, we can't just go and put that genie back in the bottle!

brb making birria poutine

[-] IonAddis@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Aren't carne asada fries just mexican poutine anyhow?

You start adding/subtracting ingredients to the fries the further north/south you go until you get poutine or carne asada fries.

SC would go Mexican before we went Canadian, change my mind

[-] atocci@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

As long as they aren't in the same country as NC.

Can we tilt it a bit, maybe let Mexico have Oregon and Idaho and let Canada have Georgia and Florida? Canadians need a place to hit the beach in the winter without needing a passport, and some Mexicans would love to move somewhere where it never got hot. Plenty of Canadian retirees already live in Florida part time.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Economically this is a huge win for Canada, Atlanta is the business heart of the south and Florida gets the tourism money

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

You can't take the Florida out of Florida man.

We don't want Florida.

Damnit, now I live in Canada and work in Mexico.

[-] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Same. But at least we’re close to the border.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

This would be the only instance I would ever say that I'd love to live in a red state.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

You’re close but the real answer is “countries are made up and we all own everything”

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 16 points 6 months ago

But the reality is "countries are made up and we own nothing"

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Countries are like religions except their believers are WAY more likely to employ violence

Map should say

Gulf of

  • ~~Mexico~~

  • ~~America~~

  • Mexico

[-] i_dont_want_to 10 points 6 months ago

Maryland is left out. I was going to ask if they're going to be the United States. But that's one state... The One State of America.

[-] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 months ago

I was going to say America still has Hawaii, but the Hawaiians have been through enough.

Personally, I'd rather see the map of north America be as colourful as a map of Europe rather then less colourful than it is now.

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 9 points 6 months ago

You know what? Fuck yeah. I, for one, look forward to our new Mexican overlords.

[-] Critical_Thinker@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago

Finally, tex-mex can simply be called mexican food.

[-] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Por qué no both eh?

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 8 points 6 months ago

California, Oregon, Washington and BC all need to be united under one country. Cascadia :)

Mexico really would get the short end of the stick.

[-] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

How? On this map, they're getting Texas and California... two states which each individually have the GDP of a G20 country while Canada only gets one, New York. This map would make Mexico the largest economy in the world.

[-] DrownedRats@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah, but on the other hand they get Texans, californians, and crucially, Floridans.

If my state becomes part of Canada, I'd be cool with that!

[-] maniii@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Vertical Split is what is needed.

Eastern United North American States ( EUNAS )

Midwestern United North American States ( MWUNAS )

---- Central United North American States ( CUNAS ) ----

MidEastern United North American States ( MEUNAS )

Western United North American States ( WUNAS )

The Good Ending.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago

How about all of it just Canada?

If you want to see a vision of the future, imagine a bag of milk being poured on a human face - forever.

[-] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I agree with the mehmes’ vibes, but I wish people would remember all those lines are invisible and made up. It’s just 1 species.

[-] SlippiHUD@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

The only timeline where I'd be okay calling it the Gulf of America.
