    This is a horse shit idea. I don’t want the culture here to be watered down. I’d be wary of any state wanting to join confederation, and also concerned about the uptick in immigration from the USA.

    I’m down for that. I live in California, being a Canadian province would double Canada’s population and more than double its GDP.

    I’ll offer you the state of New York. You can have the tax base of NYC. I’m sure most of New England minus New Hampshire would be down with this.

    Actually id rather just break the united states into smaller countries.

    Finding common ground and priorities with such a large populace is so non-productive.

    Sorry, but you’re not welcome.

    Person-for-person, maybe; but with very few exceptions, we don’t really want or need US territory.

    We don’t want US people seceding to Canada. Enough of their individualistic, manifest destiny, American exceptionalism poison mindset. I don’t want any more of that ideology to infect Canada any more than it already has.

      any more than it already has

      So many people I know get fuming mad at the idea of higher taxes because they think their income is going to be given to the poor. It’s the same ‘one good move away from being a millionaire’ mentality that drives voters in red states.

        I want my taxes going to the poor! Society does better when we raise the floor, like how raising minimum wage also means that everyone else gets bumped up or how it’s cheaper to house the homeless and help them join a workforce as opposed to leaving them out on the streets.

        But more specifically I want the ultra-rich to actually pay their fucking taxes! They have the money, they can pony and help a little.

    The US people wishing one thing and their stupid government doing exactly the opposite. Name a more iconic duo!
