Actually id rather just break the united states into smaller countries.

Finding common ground and priorities with such a large populace is so non-productive.

This just in: 1 in 5 Americans deported to Salvadoran prisons, selection is random

Mmmmm. Have Canadians considered that these USAians might try to enter their country?

They may need to look at ways to prevent this, idk, maybe like building a wall? Or tariffs. Tariffs work for everything, though I don't really know what they are and can only spell it because of autocorrect.

It might be only 20%, but compared to the proportion of Canadians willing to become part of the US being 13%, I find this rather hilarious.

I'd love to see this broken down by state.

Too bad they had a whole war already establishing that's not allowed.

I wonder which states the majority of these people are in.

It links to a map, https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-states-most-likely-secede-1870679 (archive: https://archive.ph/oGlKO )

Surprising that support in Alaska (36%) and Texas (31%) is so much higher than the national average, I'd have thought it'd be blue states leading, shows what I know...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Yeah let's take Alaska and complete the whole northern section of the continent!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Oh wait, those are just those most likely to secede. Not wanting to join Canada.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Alaska does make sense because of their geographic position but Texas is definitely an outlier.

I've suggested that the entire NFC North could just become Canadian providences. Parts of Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois already feel like Canada anyways. Also we'd dominate the CFL!

Full disclosure: I live in Michigan.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I'd love for that.

However, as a Canadian ... seeing Michigan go red broke my heart.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately the red sections of Michigan stayed red, and the large groups of voters in the blue sections bought into the whole "genocide Joe" bullshit. The actual vote totals showed that red votes stayed pretty level with the 2020 and 2022 numbers, while blue voters just didn't turn out. Hopefully this is a fucking wake up call.

As someone in michigan, me too buddy.

As an American I felt the same way about Wayne Gretzky.

Michigan for Michiganders. Fuck these southern assholes taking my resources. They should be paying for them.

To those Americans: you know that means you get a king, right?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Compared to?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

You don't need to sell it to them, they already want to join.

I will take Charles over Trump any day.
