Is it bad if I want Canada to annex Minnesota? (where I happen to live.)
Yeah, I don't entirely object to the reverse (as long as California is adopted into the family), but making Canada part of the US? No thank you. Fucking crab bucket mentality; can't let other people have nice things.
Let's respect the borders! Northern States for Canada, Southwest States for Mexico 😁
🤔🤔🤔 And Florida for Cuba 😁😁😁
What has Cuba done to deserve that kind of punishment?
I said Florida, not Floridians😁😁😁
I'm sure they can work something out.
As a Canadian I like visiting Minnesota and it feels like a real shame not to be able to visit there right now because of all the fascism. I think many Minnesotans would fit in quite well among Canadians. But there are also some horrible reactionary elements there. Perhaps persuade them to move to Texas first.
Let’s just tell them all that Canadian electricity will make their kids gay.
Or maybe we blame all that fresh air you send our way.
