New Mexico would like to join this proposal.
West coast resident. I’m ready, let’s do it. The rest of the US hates us.
Give Alberta and Saskatchewan to the US.
Let the US keep the eastern third of Washington and Oregon. Canada doesn't really want those people anyway.
And Nova Scotia secedes 'cause fuck y'all mainlanders.
Please for fucks sake Canada, annex New England and the New York City Metro area as war reparations when this shit is over. We're economically productive!!
I'm pretty sure Nevada and Arizona could still be salvaged.
Hey I'm North Carolina, can we get in on this?
Unfortunately, despite electing a democratic governor, lt governor, and AG the state otherwise went full maga in voting choices.
Which is why this would really suck for a lot of folks. Today they may not quite get their preferences at home, but at least other states are keeping it competitive and may mitigate things. If those states left, then everything falls into a fanatical Christian fascist ethno state with no impediments.
I think I speak for all Georgians when I say please include us too (I definitely do not)
I wonder if they could somehow carve out a thin path down to Atlanta and include us. Pls.
Maybe we could go along the coast and include Savannah before grabbing Atlanta, I’d miss that city.
I'm not sure Canadians would want the 6 million Californians who voted for Trump (more than 38% of the voters in the state); or the 3.5 million New Yorkers who voted for Trump (42.7%). Maybe leave the mostly rural areas of the Dem states for Trumpistan?
Also the included states have a larger population than Canada, so it would be Canada joining the Dem states - which I can't see any sane 1st-world country doing.
Letting the Trump states become a country, and the Dem states (sans rural areas) become a different country, seems like it would make both groups vastly happier; tho it would require allowing at least a few years for people to swap states.

A warm Canadian place? Yeah I’d move quick.
Looks like I’m moving to NoVa after all
