As unlikely as New England becoming Canada's newest province would be, it's STILL more likely than Canada ever becoming the 51st state.

I say this with admiration for Canada: when you back crazy cannucka into corners, they INVENT NEW WAR CRIMES that the international community hasn't thought to write laws against.

Canada burned the white house to the fucking ground before.

They'll do it again.

AND AMERICA WILL HAVE IT COMING.

I just wish New England could go ahead and join Canada already to ruin the US federal government's economy and industry. Cascadia (the states of California, Washington, and Oregon) should become a province too. what's left of the United States can't survive without receiving affirmative action participation trophies and charity from us. The whole world would be a better place.

So cruel to Minnesota and Illinois.

Also Colorado and New Mexico.

Honestly if those 2 went to Mexico the others could go to Canada the red and purple states could rot. The only tricky part would be the capital. Pretty sure Maryland and Virginia would want to sign up as maple leaves.

Are you citing the War of 1812? I thought that was England, not canada? Full disclaimer: I know close to zero history

Yeah, it was essentially England, people just like to say it was Canada. We didn’t even become a country until 1867

British citizens from Canada came down and did the deed.
