Tons of agriculture in the northern half of California. I live in Sacramento, it's like 95% people growing food. Hell, it's even called the farm to fork capital. We're a perfect fit for Canada! They can have the south.
There are rural French speakers all over the country, They're just a majority in Quebec and parts of New Brunswick and Ontario close to the QC border. My wife's family is all Francophone from Saskatchewan.
The problem is solved by no longer allowing random people to buy heavy weapons. That is legal in the US, still, but with this proposal that would no longer exist
Yeah, that problem will solve itself over a few years. The combination of ammo and the guns themselves being illegal makes it very hard for anyone but the craziest gun nut to own them.
Can we tilt it a bit, maybe let Mexico have Oregon and Idaho and let Canada have Georgia and Florida? Canadians need a place to hit the beach in the winter without needing a passport, and some Mexicans would love to move somewhere where it never got hot. Plenty of Canadian retirees already live in Florida part time.
Could we maybe somehow still have Orlando and Daytona Beach? Like just that one part, where all the fun is? Maybe it's an EEC free zone or something. We'll give it to Greenland and Denmark as tribute, they are a bunch of bros those guys and gals.
Won't be many Albertans. Florida is kind of a pain in the ass to get to from Alberta, and you have to go through Pearson and nobody wants to go through Pearson.
Albertans are mostly found in Scottsdale. Probably a little swath of the older ones in Palm Springs.
And every snowbird employs 20 Latinos who are there year round raising families. South Floridas demographics have higher representation from like 10 other Latin American countries before Mexican though, so maybe it should be it's own sort of city state with the rest going to Mexico.
I just Googled what Canadian bacon is because I had never heard that term before and...isn't that just ham? Why...why are you guys calling it Canadian bacon?? We eat regular bacon up here!
We eat regular bacon too, but Canadian bacon is back bacon or some shit. Look, it's fucking witchcraft, OK? But it's also delicious, so just hush up and sit down. Can I pour you some coffee?
How? On this map, they're getting Texas and California... two states which each individually have the GDP of a G20 country while Canada only gets one, New York. This map would make Mexico the largest economy in the world.
They would want CO and IL in their nation as that means they essentially control most of the trafficking of goods in the Western hemisphere presuming the US military is split between these nations.
Last time I was in Denver, I'm pretty sure about 50% of the plates I saw were Albertan. Which was pretty weird, but apparently there was an oil and gas show on or something, so that sort of makes sense. My point is, we already clearly have great relations with each other, so this makes total sense.
It would be a toss up since San Francisco is full of tech bros like Seattle and Portland, and the movie business does a lot of filming in Vancouver BC.
I definitely could envision Washington and Oregon as Canadian, but I'm not so sure about California. Just a total different vibe for sure, not a bad one or anything (California is great), but probably they'd be happier and better off with Mexico.
How about more of a balkanized region of red and blue states, interspersed as decided by resident vote?
Red states can have all the racism, guns and freedum they want, and blue states get an English-speaking labor force with no healthcare and no minimum wage, right at their doorsteps. Win-win!
While it would be funny to watch the confusion of so many people over the milk bags, we have to remember our friends of a Mexico and Greenland. It's in Canadian spirit to share with our friends, and to treasure them. Basically let's just make it a fun little commune that's kind of all of ours, while maintaining our own sovereign lands.
We want the white house though. We, uh, have this plan envisioned in our heads...

Can we split California? Northern Cal just seems like it should be Canadian honestly.
No way man. We need all of California (where food grows anyway)! Mexico has tons of warm climate agricultural land. Canada has none!
Be Canadian. Say Please.
Sorry!
Can we please have all of California? Except LA. Don’t want that!

Smith will turn Alberta warm soon!
It won't just be Alberta which is the problem.
Hear me out. Let’s build a dome covering Alberta - nothing in or out.
Can Colorado belong to both? We play hockey, eat poutine, and make tacos, and speak Spanish.
I'm down with Colorado. Just not that one half... You know the one...
Somehow the Carolinas get a pass. Why not CA?
Shhh. I wanna be Canadian.
I'll agree to this.
I just want to be Canadian. Nothing wrong with Mexico but I don't speak Spanish. But I can speak Canadian! Sorry.
Jay parlay France-says trey be-in. Jaytude in laycole, quart anss. Jem mepell Peggy Hill. Common tally voo?
I thought the French peeps were all in the eastern side? I'll learn French. Just make me Canadian. Please.
I live in Imperial Beach
I'm not Canadian yet. Where's that?
Next to Tijuana, in California.
There are rural French speakers all over the country, They're just a majority in Quebec and parts of New Brunswick and Ontario close to the QC border. My wife's family is all Francophone from Saskatchewan.
Now watch Shoresy and translate some of that. It's not High French, let's say!
I learned my French from Justin Wilson, I gua-ron-tee!
There ought to be a UN controlled buffer zone, to avoid the creation of monstrosity like Poutine tacos.
Well now that you've said it, we can't just go and put that genie back in the bottle!
Everything truly is a spectrum
brb making birria poutine
What's your problem with poutine tacos? That sounds delicious.
It's only poutine if it comes from the poutine region of Canada, otherwise it's just cheese potatoes.
I could live with that.
Idk if I want the cartels having free roam of the us
Well good news, the main providers of illegal firearms to Mexico is people from the USA so this solves that problem as well.
It solves the problem of giving them more guns and territory to claim? Cool idea!
No.
The problem is solved by no longer allowing random people to buy heavy weapons. That is legal in the US, still, but with this proposal that would no longer exist
But there's already millions of guns out there that won't be going anywhere
Great point!
Yeah, that problem will solve itself over a few years. The combination of ammo and the guns themselves being illegal makes it very hard for anyone but the craziest gun nut to own them.
I do not think you have thought this through my friend
Because?
Good point.
SC would go Mexican before we went Canadian, change my mind
As long as they aren't in the same country as NC.
As long as its one or the other I'm happy.
Nope. Agreed.

You can't take the Florida out of Florida man.
We don't want Florida.
Could we maybe somehow still have Orlando and Daytona Beach? Like just that one part, where all the fun is? Maybe it's an EEC free zone or something. We'll give it to Greenland and Denmark as tribute, they are a bunch of bros those guys and gals.
Economically this is a huge win for Canada, Atlanta is the business heart of the south and Florida gets the tourism money
There are already so many snowbirds in Florida that its almost another canadian province.
Welllll we would debate the 'canadianness' of people visiting Florida. They're probably Albertans. :-p
Won't be many Albertans. Florida is kind of a pain in the ass to get to from Alberta, and you have to go through Pearson and nobody wants to go through Pearson.

My arrogant-as-fuck realtor uncle has a place in Palm Springs. For at least my family's case, you totally nailed it.
And every snowbird employs 20 Latinos who are there year round raising families. South Floridas demographics have higher representation from like 10 other Latin American countries before Mexican though, so maybe it should be it's own sort of city state with the rest going to Mexico.
Damnit, now I live in Canada and work in Mexico.
Same. But at least we’re close to the border.
I speak passable Spanish, and Mexican food is awesome. ¡Con mucho gusto!
Oh wait, I live in Seattle. Sounds good, eh?
Never forget, there's some good fishin' in Quebec.
I'll see you around bud. I'm going for a rip.
I don't speak French tho. But I have good friends up in BC who have already offered asylum if needed.
Point Roberts area maybe, one of those "why is this a different country" places on the maps
Map should say
Gulf of
MexicoAmericaMexico
Maryland is left out. I was going to ask if they're going to be the United States. But that's one state... The One State of America.
I was going to say America still has Hawaii, but the Hawaiians have been through enough.
free Hawaii!
Hawaii has Hawaii, no?
The United State
estado unido
Please make Colorado a unified zone. I need maple syrup and tacos
Authentic MexiCan™️ cousine.
Canadian bacon ranchero breakfast burrito.
Poutine nachos.
Fuck man. I'm down.
What else does Canada have? I'm already sold on the whole idea.
Let's talk
Also Canada has bannock, and it is delicious.
I just Googled what Canadian bacon is because I had never heard that term before and...isn't that just ham? Why...why are you guys calling it Canadian bacon?? We eat regular bacon up here!
We eat regular bacon too, but Canadian bacon is back bacon or some shit. Look, it's fucking witchcraft, OK? But it's also delicious, so just hush up and sit down. Can I pour you some coffee?
...only if the coffee's free trade and from a Canadian company.
Best we can do is Tim Hortons.
They're not even Canadian anymore :(
No we have company, no ones feeding them that shit.
Local coffee it is. The best kind too. Costs me over $50 beaver bucks for a two pound bag, but it's delicious
That's what free trade is for.
Passports exist
You’re close but the real answer is “countries are made up and we all own everything”
But the reality is "countries are made up and we own nothing"
Countries are like religions except their believers are WAY more likely to employ violence
Crusades and 1300s Pirates checking in yet?
California, Oregon, Washington and BC all need to be united under one country. Cascadia :)
Hello from northern Cascadia.
Personally, I'd rather see the map of north America be as colourful as a map of Europe rather then less colourful than it is now.
This would be the only instance I would ever say that I'd love to live in a red state.
You know what? Fuck yeah. I, for one, look forward to our new Mexican overlords.
Finally, tex-mex can simply be called mexican food.
Mexico really would get the short end of the stick.
How? On this map, they're getting Texas and California... two states which each individually have the GDP of a G20 country while Canada only gets one, New York. This map would make Mexico the largest economy in the world.
Yeah, but on the other hand they get Texans, californians, and crucially, Floridans.
And Alabama. And Mississippi.
Por qué no both eh?
Yo, real talk,
Don't take Missouri. Trust me on that one.
If you split it in half, you'd probably be fine. But yeah...
We need somewhere to put the Albertans.
If my state becomes part of Canada, I'd be cool with that!
This would have made the old NAFTA logo look a lot better...
NAFTA is now Canada, Mexico, and Hawaii.
Hey yo why the fuck am I still in the same country as the carolinas get that shit out of here
The only timeline where I'd be okay calling it the Gulf of America.
The Good Ending.
Move that green up, I need better tacos.
I agree with the mehmes’ vibes, but I wish people would remember all those lines are invisible and made up. It’s just 1 species.
We are all one! At the end of the day it's us versus the world.
Wet dream of the cartels, specially Tijuana and Sinaloa.
Dont forget the American cartels.
They would want CO and IL in their nation as that means they essentially control most of the trafficking of goods in the Western hemisphere presuming the US military is split between these nations.
Sra. Sheinbaum my people yearn for freedom
As an Ohioan, I am not upset about this.
We’re really both. Can we just be shared? I’ll get a dual citizenship.
Sure!

I wonder who California would chose, I would have thought Canada but I’m not sure anymore
I would imagine they would choose Mexico to honor their heritage. IIRC California (like Texas) used to be part of Mexico to begin with.
It would be a toss up since San Francisco is full of tech bros like Seattle and Portland, and the movie business does a lot of filming in Vancouver BC.
I definitely could envision Washington and Oregon as Canadian, but I'm not so sure about California. Just a total different vibe for sure, not a bad one or anything (California is great), but probably they'd be happier and better off with Mexico.
Mexico can have Idaho.
Vertical Split is what is needed.

Aye aye aye
God, please let this happen
plz hurry 🙏 🥺
The US seems to be killing itself; give it a couple more months and we'll just have to walk down to the border and shake hands with our new Amigos.
How about all of it just Canada?
If you want to see a vision of the future, imagine a bag of milk being poured on a human face - forever.

Who would win this hypothetical war
The USA would because we would be a free people again
No war only trade.
Trade war it is
Can we give all the states and Alberta to Mexico?
Grant's Pass is the new San Diego? Love it
This is a fair approach.
I feel like Canada should only be getting 1-2 states south but not 3, along with the northern part of California.
Then again, their current providence are pretty large in comparison to the states....
Ah yes, a story from a better timeline.
I think I could be happy ending up in either... Street tacos vs. Tim Horton's.
I think we should give Mexico more of the midwest and Canada more of the shores.
Mexico would be wayyyyyy too powerful in this scenario.
Stooge.
What?
