US already has 50 and adding another star is so much more a pain in the ass.

No thanks, I don’t want Canadians who think they are American in my country

I certainly don’t want more of them

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 51 minutes ago

Fully agree, where to start?

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid 2 points 35 minutes ago

first assasinate donald and vance

[-] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 hours ago

Shatner pulls a "no u" after everyone already made that joke for weeks already.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 42 minutes ago

To boldly go where everyone else has been before.

He's old, it takes him a minute to catch up

yup, a flag with an American eagle shape cutout inside a Maple leave is much easier.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 hours ago

Mmmm... How about something else that doesn't allow Americans to vote? Because 11th province would just mean Canada becomes America under a different name.

We wouldn't want to violate the prime directive though.

We don't want you. Split into 50 countries and we'll deal with the sane ones. We could make an American Union. But we won't merge

[-] uawarebrah@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago

Can you take New England please?

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

They usually add states in pairs to balance the parties etc, so will Puerto Rico have to join also? Both of those places will most likely vote liberal.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 4 hours ago

Puerto Rico leans conservative by a slight margin. Dems don't want them as a result and Republicans don't want them because they're brown.

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I think Puerto Rico voted 75% or something for Harris. They don't lean conservative.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

They don't lean MAGA, because Trump is specifically racist against them. Their internal political parties tell a much different story.

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 9 hours ago

I saw the photo of old bill, the name and my mind jumped to "has died". Then I continued to the colony part and that made my day. Live long and prosper Bill!

California, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington consent to this agreement. Where do we sign?

[-] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Wellll... The western parts of Washington and Oregon. Out in the desert is another thing. Those guys are pretty well cooked

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 hours ago

Canada agrees.

Then we can tax the shit out of anything from China crossing the territory to get to the remaining United States.

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 13 points 15 hours ago

As an Oregon resident, I would be all for this. CA alone would be a pretty good chunk of federal taxes.

[-] supernight52@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Illinois volunteers as well

[-] HertzDentalBar 35 points 17 hours ago

That's genius, But treat them as a territory, they don't get the be a province. But our current territories should be made provinces first, they deserve better representation especially with climate change making the areas more comfortable for living.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 18 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

you drive a hard bargain, we accept. You can even alter the deal and add more terms, but I warn you we will still accept. No take-backsies on the deal, we are Canadians now. Good luck, rest of USA, you bunch of effin losers. You're a real disappointment.

[-] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Good luck, rest of USA, you bunch of effin losers

hosers, you're Canadian now, ya gotta speak Canadian

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 52 points 19 hours ago

Put it to a vote and I bet it would surprise you which states would leave the US right now.

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 37 points 17 hours ago

Pretty sure the entire west coast would bounce. Especially California, aka the 4th largest economy in the world.

[-] Bristingr@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

When the Balkinization of the US happens, the West Coast will be thr first to break off.

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 11 hours ago

Besides the geography problem, I've said the West coast and the northeast should become their own country.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 hours ago

Those ones can just join Canada, geography problem solved.

Alright you sons of bitches, I’m in.

[-] zabadoh@ani.social 77 points 21 hours ago

I would settle for just the Province of California.

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 59 points 20 hours ago

Not without Washington, you won't. Cascadia Now!
