Whatever it takes for USians to get healthcare. No country is as barbaric towards its own citizens as the Unites States.

Well, maybe North Korea.
Hey, stop insulting North Korea like that, at least Kim isn't a complete dumbass with fake tan.
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!
This just in: 1 in 5 Americans deported to Salvadoran prisons, selection is random
Mmmmm. Have Canadians considered that these USAians might try to enter their country?
They may need to look at ways to prevent this, idk, maybe like building a wall? Or tariffs. Tariffs work for everything, though I don't really know what they are and can only spell it because of autocorrect.

It might be only 20%, but compared to the proportion of Canadians willing to become part of the US being 13%, I find this rather hilarious.
I'd love to see this broken down by state.
warof1812 has entered the chat.
Too bad they had a whole war already establishing that's not allowed.
I wonder which states the majority of these people are in.
It links to a map, https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-states-most-likely-secede-1870679 (archive: https://archive.ph/oGlKO )
Surprising that support in Alaska (36%) and Texas (31%) is so much higher than the national average, I'd have thought it'd be blue states leading, shows what I know...
Yeah let's take Alaska and complete the whole northern section of the continent!
Alaska does make sense because of their geographic position but Texas is definitely an outlier.

Oh wait, those are just those most likely to secede. Not wanting to join Canada.
I've suggested that the entire NFC North could just become Canadian providences. Parts of Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois already feel like Canada anyways. Also we'd dominate the CFL!
Full disclosure: I live in Michigan.
I'd love for that.
However, as a Canadian ... seeing Michigan go red broke my heart.
Unfortunately the red sections of Michigan stayed red, and the large groups of voters in the blue sections bought into the whole "genocide Joe" bullshit. The actual vote totals showed that red votes stayed pretty level with the 2020 and 2022 numbers, while blue voters just didn't turn out. Hopefully this is a fucking wake up call.
As someone in michigan, me too buddy.
As an American I felt the same way about Wayne Gretzky.
