US already has 50 and adding another star is so much more a pain in the ass.

I would settle for just the Province of California.

Not without Washington, you won't. Cascadia Now!

I read that like George Costanza.

“CASCADIA NOW!!”

Hey Michigan is basically already Canadian, we can just blend in.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Can confirm, lived in Michigan over a decade. Yoopers are more Canadian than most Canadians.

I think we should return governing authority to the natives the US stole the land from. Sorry native Americans, this dumpster fire is yours to fix now.

Shatner pulls a "no u" after everyone already made that joke for weeks already.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's old, it takes him a minute to catch up

[–] kablammy 5 points 2 days ago

He actually, started, the joke, before, everyone else, but, with all, the pauses, it took, longer, to finish, it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

To boldly go where everyone else has been before.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I don't know why people still pay attention to him

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

We don't want you. Split into 50 countries and we'll deal with the sane ones. We could make an American Union. But we won't merge

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't want me either :/

Put it to a vote and I bet it would surprise you which states would leave the US right now.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Pretty sure the entire west coast would bounce. Especially California, aka the 4th largest economy in the world.

[–] AlecSadler 11 points 2 days ago

That'd be hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Besides the geography problem, I've said the West coast and the northeast should become their own country.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Those ones can just join Canada, geography problem solved.

California, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington consent to this agreement. Where do we sign?

[–] AlecSadler 15 points 2 days ago

As an Oregon resident, I would be all for this. CA alone would be a pretty good chunk of federal taxes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Wellll... The western parts of Washington and Oregon. Out in the desert is another thing. Those guys are pretty well cooked

That's genius, But treat them as a territory, they don't get the be a province. But our current territories should be made provinces first, they deserve better representation especially with climate change making the areas more comfortable for living.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

you drive a hard bargain, we accept. You can even alter the deal and add more terms, but I warn you we will still accept. No take-backsies on the deal, we are Canadians now. Good luck, rest of USA, you bunch of effin losers. You're a real disappointment.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Good luck, rest of USA, you bunch of effin losers

We wouldn't want to violate the prime directive though.

Captain Kirk setting these Nazis straight.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mmmm... How about something else that doesn't allow Americans to vote? Because 11th province would just mean Canada becomes America under a different name.

Bill Shatner’s a badass.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Shatner had a well earned reputation as an egotistical asshole for a long time, but he does seem to have become more reasonable in recent years

[–] Sixtyforce 2 points 2 days ago

Mmm. Except for his extremely stupid grudge against RedLetterMedia when he misinterpreted good faith praise as insults on twitter and kept doubling down refusing to believe he could be wrong.

How is he 94 years old while not even looking 70?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In 2286 he did a slingshot maneuver around the sun to go back in time. Get with it, dog.

I dunno. Let it fester as a territory for a while. Maybe Nunavut has languished long enough. Time to elevate the places we already have.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

it would have to be a territory.. or territories, even it's 50 of them. as territories only get 1 mp each. a 340+ million population province would get like 90% of the seats in parliament.

If Trump keeps being antagonistic, Carney should start calling him Premier Trump.

Canada doesn't want to be responsible for that dumpster fire.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Too late my Canadian brother, HertzDentalBar let us in. I promise to learn to speak Canadian and the words to our "hey Canada" anthem.

I've got to tell you, even joking about being Canadian take a huge weight off my shoulders. I didnt realize how much stress I was carrying around. Everyone try it, pretend Canada just made a deal to take your state over and you're now Canadian. Feels so good doesnt it.

Who wants us?! Lmao. We are like the ugly chick with a nice ass and rich parents. Sure, some things are good, but not worth the attitude and no makeup versions.
