Professor Maxine Welkers of the University of Toronto Economics Dept. explains, “Given Americans’ low literacy rates, costly health insurance, and how much animal shit their FDA allows in their food, Canada annexing the U.S. is really more of a humanitarian gesture.”

That line is gold.

Hey now, Cincinnati is great. We got chili, we got King's Island, we got a museum with dinosaurs and a lot of historical stuff too, we got Graeter's Ice Cream, not exactly unique to Cincinnati but we have a baseball and football team that we feel very strongly about even if they don't always meet our expectations, we got one of the best zoos and botanical gardens in the United States, while it's not technically Ohio, we have the Newport Aquarium right across the river, we got all kinds of stuff!

Including corn. God we love corn.

Positive things I'm sure. If you don't enjoy Cincinnati chili, are you even living??

Right guys? Right??

(We also enjoy regular chili, my company has an annual chili cookoff. Not Cincinnati chili, just regular chili)

Is that the chili that’s kind of like a ground beef and bean soup?

4

Well not really. It is kind of ground beef soup, with a lot of spices added to give it it's signature flavor. This chili, spaghetti, and cheese is a three-way. If you add beans in the chili (or onion), then it becomes a four-way (or I guess just... chili with beans in it if you put it on anything else?). If you put BOTH beans and onions in it, then it's a five-way.

Easy fix: Dig an Ohio-sized hole, fill Lake Erie back up with water and call it the Gulf of Intelligence.

The whole thing, can’t risk it. Plus it’s way easier to avoid any attacks on being biased if no.

However, we should make Puerto Rico a province.

Oh booo yea ok fuck ‘em.

That isn’t just voting for the leopard who will eat your face, that’s voting the leopard who has already eaten your face.

“But then Trump went and, to use a macro-economic term, ‘shot America in the dick’. So now it’ll be easier to just buy the whole place.”

The greatest line Carney will ever utter.

just a portion of magats voting would be enough to ruin canada within a decade, unless it's made only a 'territory' with a just single riding (like yukon, nwt, and nunavut each have)

13

We could let them be a territory for a 150-200 years like they've been letting Puerto Rico sit as one. However long it takes for Puerto Rico, add an extra 50 years.

Imagine Canada owning the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park.

We would be undeniably the most beautiful country in the world.

16

Canada already is undeniably the most beautiful country in the world. We don't need Yosemite lol

I will take the American doctors please. But not their healthcare system.

Also anyone who is cool and not a narcissistic sociopath is invited too. The rest can be left out of the deal.

I would love to be taken over by Canada. Can’t we just give California, Oregon and Washington the Canada please? Like all these MAGAs in the Midwest just love to talk so much shit about California and how terrible it is and how it sucks, so why should they care, right? You’d think they would welcome the idea, right? Oh but we have the big economy, and the ports, and grow a bunch of food, and make a bunch of technology. 🤔🤔🤔

This is like going to the adoption agency and asking for the meanest, most disruptive child and then adopting that one.

Some of the states are cool. Let MAGA have their own states, so they can find out for themselves how their experiment sucks.

7

None of the states are cool. Outside of the cities and urban areas its a red majority country. Incredibly racist and misogynist.

MAGA can hop on Elon’s rocket and fuck right off to Mars.

MY BODY IS READY.

I'll chug maple syrup. Learn to ride a moose. Whatever it takes. But please make this happen.

Nobody doing the math on the number of seats that "province" would have? All other provinces would lose their power. You think the pull Ontario and Quebec have is bad? Hooo boy.

While I would love for the PNW to become Canadian, I feel the only way out is either to secede alongside our fellow blue states (notably CA), or to wait for McDonald's to do its fucking job.

After that, we can rebuild and put not just safety rails BUT HARD LINES THAT REMIND OUR SHITTY ASS POLITICIANS WHO THEY WORK FOR.

We need complete reform because at the moment, I kinda wish the Brits would do what they are known for doing: colonizing other countries. Hell, I'm wishing we didn't have an independence day coming up right now....

Please fucking do this Canada

Hell make us multiple provinces.

New England province

Cascadian province

Great Lakes province

Rocky Mountains province (capitol in Colorado of course)

And the rest: dumbfuckistan

Can I offer you New York State and all the economic power that comes with it? The US can keep Staten Island. We put our garbage there.

As somebody from Buffalo, I'd support this, but I don't think Canadians want us tbh.

Hahaha. For a moment I thought this was real news and some politician actually said this. Then I saw beaverton.

While I would love to be inducted into proper healthcare and the loving embrace of our northern brothers, are you sure you can swallow all that red and not just end up with diarrhea?

idea: you guys invade and enslave all the rich white people, turn the entire thing into a streaming series.
