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.

I'm so sorry that you're from Ohio

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.

Can we make some of them territories so they can’t vote.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Just don't impose a stamp tax and you should be golden.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Typotyper 9 points 1 week ago

Make Puerto Rico their bosses

“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.

What for? Why would anyone want to buy (even for free) 300 million of Americans?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They didn't say they'd be keeping the people.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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)

Imagine Canada owning the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park.

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

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

New Yorkers rejoice knowing they're no longer the rudest countrymen now that the Quebecois are included

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You really, really don't want the whole thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Just New York, Hawaii, and Alaska. They can keep the rest.

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

MY BODY IS READY.

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

Sorry, we can only do with a 4th territory at best.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

We can do an administrative region, and pull a Puerto Rico on them.

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

Keep it, we're good.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

I do wish USA was like Canada
