I feel like we merge Nova Scotia with all the other Maratimes
so merge the 4 Atlantic ones, and keep Halifax as the capital
merge the 3 arctic ones, and Yellowknife can stay the capital
then it's 7 states, or 8 if you include Quebec
and rename one of them to be Trump coded
who cares
the US (for whatever reason) is really good at balancing to 50-50
I think Canada is less left-leaning than they come across, in a system with actual choice
when you give people only two flavors of the same non-choices for decades, that's all they know
Where did you hear that more Canadians are supportive
that's true, but depending how many senate seats you give them by subdividing the country
that's the long-term balance that I sitll think will eventually balance out to 50-50
I personally have literally the exact opposite experience both personally with every single person I know and what I've seen
literally talk to any Canadian other than Pika
I barely interact with people of my campus
I meant normal people
Regardless, there are things like healthcare most Canadians would not conceed on, and the US would absolutely not let us keep our healthcare being covered by taxes
I think if the US was more willing to offer concesions, the % would go up, but I still think Americans are overestimating how many Canadians are agaist the idea
can RFK just allow Novium in the US
he's against flouride
Pika doesn't brush his teeth, so this doesn't affect him
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Regardless, there are things like healthcare most Canadians would not conceed on, and the US would absolutely not let us keep our healthcare being covered by taxes
I feel like that's how you get US democrats on board, say we're allowing Canada to keep their healthcare system
and they'll think it'll help convince more Americans to support single payer
Seriously though, where did you hear that Max, I keep looking online and everything I am seeing still says the opposite to a large degree
I am just curious if I am missing something
Dane I am not retarded
I know Reddit's position is we should go to actual war with the US to overthrow the tyrant or whatever they say
We would lose, we do not have much, and its very tied with the US
I am not saying we would win, again, US sends boots on the ground anywhere in the world and the country is theirs
I am just saying as far as a referendum to join the US, it will be no
by a majority
From what I understand, an 80+% majority, but maybe Max has some recent data I am not privy too
hence why I was asking
Trump is actually retarded, he is just funny and I like that he won
idk why we have to pretend he does not make funny haha moves that exist just to make the left mad, which is what he should continue to do
The Canada 51st state thing is funny because it makes the right people mad, but also anyone who actively believes it is going to happen is retarded
Trump is just trying to browbeat other countries into giving the US disadvantageous deals (for them, advantageous for the US), which I mean, fair enough that is what you are supposed to do for your country as the leader
I also firmly agree with Canada being petty in retaliation because that is kind of apart of the deal process
Sucks to suck
