One in five Americans (20 per cent) polled by Leger this week say they would like their state to join Canada, more than double the proportion of Canadians who said they would like their country to become the 51st state of the United States. Article content
“Only 9 per cent of Canadians believe it is likely that Canada will become the 51st U.S. state. By contrast, 20 per cent of Americans would like their state to join Canada and become a Canadian province, a proportion that is higher among respondents aged 18 to 34 (30 per cent),” reads the new Léger report.
I’d sign up for it. Illinois isn’t too far from Canada, and I’d live to see how the US gets by without Chicago. Good luck rerouting all your freight to avoid border crossings lol. Sigh. It’d never happen in a million years though.
It would be amazing if we could have Washington and Oregon in Canada… :)
And California, make a land bridge between Canada and Mexico! Plus Canada would jump from 9th largest GDP in the world to 3rd largest!
No, it would not. California’s GDP is highly dependent on it being part of the USA. CA agriculture would get devastated when the US refuses access to water from the Colorado river as we just did this to Mexico this week. CA tech companies would flee California as the US government will tie access to DoD money to being an American company so the tech sector will flee as well. The third largest industry last I checked was education which gets a TON of US federal dollars.
California without the USA would rapidly look more like Slovenia than France economically speaking.
There aren’t many if any states that would be better off apart from the USA.
Colorado is blue so it’s coming along!
Which means nothing as the Feds control that water
Not if the whole coast is owned by Canada! The Pacific will be theirs!
Go look for the source if that river. Then look at how critical it is to the USA. Then compare the arsenals of the two nations. Canada will never control the Colorado river.
Go look for the source if that river.
Colorado? One of the bluest states in the USA?
We’re taking Nevada, Arizona and Nevada as well if that’s how you want to play!
California could get water from Canada ;). Education funding is also on the chopping block unless they bow and scrape to Trump’s ideologies, so…
Not in the parts of CA that get water from the Colorado river
We could also reinvest federal tax money into desalination and renewable energy to power it.
You do realize California residents and companies pay more taxes to the federal government than they receive back, right? Pretty sure they can easily fund their own education with some of that money.
Yes they get back .95for every $1.
Now remember how I said the 3rd largest industry was education which got tons of federal dollars? When a kid in NCgets a grant for college and spends it at UCLA that money was “spent” in NC despite going to CA so it is entirely posdible CA takes in more than it gives.
California would be a third world nation very fast if it left the USA.
California for succession! But all BS aside I feel like the US is going to have a civil war over all of this because over half of us don’t want to live in stupid tecno patriarcal oligarch dipshitville with a deranged game show host frontman
eh…we’re good. and id expect that mandatory French for all government workers would be a deal breaker for most

I am originally from Michigan and I think Michigan would make a fine province in Canada. We all love beer, hockey, Ice fishing, fishing and affordable healthcare. Lets build the wall! The wall should be at the Ohio and Indiana border to keep those Trump supporters away from our inland lakes. #Michigan #FuckTrump
Bet its even higher for some states.
I’d love to see a map of support. I imagine the further north, the more likely to want to merge.
Hell, I’ll vote for my state to join just about any country with a functioning healthcare system.
Such as?..
Canada, for one.
Obligatory Jesusland Map.
Canada please decline this offer until a sane generation is old enough to vote, the current ones are broken
Oh don’t worry 99% of us have been seeing the online requests and cackling at the sheer fucking hubris lmao
Might be a long shot but id accept that in Florida. It would make maps hard but it would be worth it. Disney would be on board. They a pretty six of the repubs after the bullshit the last gov pulled
Was funny tho. Gov insisted on a meeting and a vote about what Disney could and couldnt do on their property. Only Disney showed up to vote.
You’re living in a fantasy world if you think Florida wants to join Canada. Florida has gotten redder and redder in the past few years. Disney could simply up and leave anytime if they wanted to.
This is almost as stupid as making Canada the 51st state.
Seriously, we shouldn’t be feeding any annexation narratives.
If all the nice Americans leave to join us, what happens with the rest? They’re gonna attack us!
If you’re a nice American and want to join us, bring fighter jets and nuclear weapons and stuff with you please!
Canada could have nuclear weapons within 6 months if they needed.
