Why would we ever want to be part of that dystopian shit hole?

[-] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Just let us invade, build a couple schools and we will leave like we always do.

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 41 points 1 week ago

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

[-] applebusch 12 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago

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

[-] abbiistabbii 2 points 1 week ago

Do you think Trump wants to give you a choice?

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Don’t give a shit what he wants.

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

Release the Epstein files!!

[-] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 27 points 1 week ago

Epstein's buddy said what?

[-] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago
[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Yeah, fuck no trump

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

That's crazy bro. How bout those Epstein files?

[-] JusticeForPorygon 12 points 1 week ago

On the contrary, I would be totally on board with Canada adopting a few new provinces

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Can I offer a trade? The western seaboard and northeastern bloc for the lower half of Alberta. The US can have Danielle Smith too, it's a package deal.

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

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).

[-] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

How about your state joining as its own province?

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

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).

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'd take even a non-voting protectorate at this point.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Wouldn't the Northeastern bloc already include New England?

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Oops I misread that as "northwestern"

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Just saying, the Canadian's unwillingess to join the dumpster fire that is the US has only gotten stronger over this year. Also, Canada is a very, very, very big country to occupy even for the US military and it shares a HUGE border with the US. On a side note Ukraine is way smaller and still keeps blowing up Russian military and energy infrastructure deep inside Russia with drones despite having lost so much to Russian bombings...

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 4 points 1 week ago

The USA couldn't even beat a bunch of terrorists with Toyota Hiluxs and rusty soviet weapons. What makes them think they'll succeed in Canada?

[-] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Logistics. But the resistant insurgency will carry on for living memory, even after this shit is put down.

[-] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah we shouldn't lie to ourselves. There's just no way we can match the US's military power in a conventional war, and the geography makes our cities, farmland and resources easily accessible to their forces.

But the guerrila warfare is what would get them leaving. It's just a question of being patient, like the Talibans were.

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

fewer hiluxes?

hiluces?

[-] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] puppinstuff@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

It should, but months of annexation threats should have been enough earlier on.

[-] Enceladus@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

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!

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

No. No offers, no deals, nothing to "normalize" this travesty.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Hey fascist, leave our friends and neighbors alone.

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

51ST STATE

edit: by New Model Army. Weird, people seem to have forgotten this song/band. All through the 90s it was a popular part of any guitarish DJ set.

[-] pandapoo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

Tf did the québécois ever do to you

[-] pandapoo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

For starters, you can't even spell québécois with the real American alphabet.

Their use of tidles alone is just cause for annexation and reeducation.

Good thing the Québécois aren’t American
