    At a minimum any states bordering Canada, including those bordering the 4 Great Lakes shared with Canada, should get a vote of which country to go with.

    Pennsylvania is 100% included, and honestly if Indiana and Illinois go for it despite being on the “wrong” Great Lake, I’m not going to complain.

      You want more convoys? Ingesting the US will give you nothing but cancer. If it’s not a city or a suburb, you’re just absorbing indoctrinated fascism. It’s pervasive.

        Eurovision is organised by the European Broadcasting Union, which includes basically all countries in the European Broadcasting Area (basically Europe + all of the Mediterranean). Those include Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Armenia, etc. They have always been allowed to participate. Australia is an outlier. They just got a special invitation.

        All countries associated with the European Broacast Union can participate.

        Brazil, Peru, Japan, India, and even China and the US could participate too.

        Russia and Lybia used to be part of the EBU but they were suspended. They know what they did.

          All countries associated with the European Broacast Union can participate.

          Theoretically yes, but associated members (in contrast to full members) still need to be approved on a case by case basis.

          Active members (as opposed to associate members) of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are eligible to participate; […]. Associate member broadcasters may be eligible to compete, dependent on approval by the contest’s reference group.[49]

        That’s a sea border, but the idea is the same.

        In fact, the distance between the shores of Newfoundland and St. Pierre and Miquelon is shorter than the width of the English Channel at the Straits of Dover (25km vs 34km).

          Don’t get me wrong I’m all for it but by this logic we can also include South America (French Guyana), central America (Caribbeans) all Pacific Islands (French Polynesia), Africa (too many to list), Indian subcontinent (la reunion) and Oceania (nouvelle Caledonie).

          I look forward to Hawaii joining the EU :D

        There is French territory just off the coast of Newfoundland too (see Saint Pierre and Miquelon), also Denmark is right next door because of Greenland. So while still pretty far fetched, there is some precedent for European territory in North America.

      Any reasons why these two neighborhoods go against the grain? Are they the posh suburbs?

    Let the GOP force them to become a state. They’d get 2 senate seats and more electoral college votes and congressional seats than any other state. Just in time for the Dems to run on deannexing Canada.

      Actually, no, they wouldn’t. They would have ZERO rights.

        Territories are still citizens, who can vote when they reside in states. If 2-3% of Canada immigrated, that’s 1 million people, which would shift the balance in a lot of places.

        Of course, even if you shifted 10 seats in the Senate, the democrats would probably give republicans half the budget and let them write their own bills in the name of bipartisanship (again), and you’d quickly become as hopeless as the average american is in the democrats helping them.
