why are we still discussing it then?

that was clearly meant just to provoke.

Why are we talking about how difficult it would be? It's not acceptable, we don't want it, and we make the decisions about our nation.

i dunno about you but i'd love it if new england became a canadian province, can we just like literally do the exact opposite of what the mandarin chief wants and let canada absorb some of the US? please? Fucking PRETTY PLEASE????

would joining the two countries be better for everyone? in some ways, yes . in a lot of ways, no

but no matter what way you spin it. it falls flat on its face after a bucket of cold realism is thrown over you.
The reality is Canadians would lose their rights as citizens and would be at best, passengers living in poverty. and at worst, would be slaves

hundreds of thousands would go into poverty, be imprisoned by the occupants for not following their rules, or just straight up be deported or murdered. and yes I said occupants, it would be a military occupation for generations before the occupants even thought the new territory was ready to have some new states carved out. Until then look no further than Donetsk and Luhansk in Ukraine, what goes on there? Natives are evicted and killed, Immigrants from the "core" are shipped in to take their homes, the news shows off some north korean style tranquil scenes of everything working out fine, and there's small fake ballot stuffed elections to pretend all is well since the takeover.

there are a select few things I'd be envious of being part of the US over. but the fact remains that im not a fucking idiot, and It would be a net negative for every single person in my country. I'm not going to play devils advocate for people who would be trying to kill us

So stop discussing it. Dumb mfers take the bait every time.

The ONLY way Canada would ever even entertain considering joining the US is if they give up their guns and implement a training and licensing regime based on gun ownership being a privilege, not a right. They would have to implement universal health care and get rid of the parasite class of unnecessary profit sucking health insurance companies. They would have to agree that every citizen has the absolute right to vote, electoral boundaries must be set by a non-partisan commission, that every citizen has free and equal access to the ballot box, and elections are carried out by marking an X on a piece of paper using a stubby pencil, putting that piece of paper in a cardboard box, opening that cardboard box at the end of the night, counting the ballots, calling in the count, and declaring a winner by midnight on election day. That religious freedom means that you can practice your religion however you want right up until it has any effect on anyone other than you and then it stops and that religious freedom is NOT the right to discriminate. That everyone is equal, has the right to love and marry whoever they want. That workers have rights, get vacation, sick leave, parental leave, bereavement leave, and that those things are entitlements. That free speech doesn't include hate speech, racism, discrimination, harassment, or doxing. It's none of anyone's fucking business what anyone does with their body and women have the absolute and exclusive right to make decisions about their healthcare with their healthcare provider.

That's just a start. If you can't agree to those conditions then it's a non-starter.

A lot of these hypotheticals can be answered by "we'll just slaughter anyone who makes a fuss" because that's where our country's moral framework will be if we ever march troops across the border. Like an ultra nationalist fascist state is going to concern itself with old treaties and popular sentiments.

Why would anyone think twice about this ridiculous word fart from a demented rapist?

Move on, nothing to see here.

What about going the other way, we take up the metric system and coins for our 1 and 2 dollars instead of paper bills?

The most disturbing part is that everyone is still discussing it.

You give him power by taking his mouth diarrhea as something more than just that.

I vote for a trial where we test Canada taking the Western states.

Yet here you are discussing it.

Don’t give a reason, they’ll just say it’s not a problem. Just say no
