US already has 50 and adding another star is so much more a pain in the ass.

I would settle for just the Province of California.

Not without Washington, you won't. Cascadia Now!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I read that like George Costanza.

“CASCADIA NOW!!”

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would surely bring me serenity if Cascadia became real.

Hey Michigan is basically already Canadian, we can just blend in.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Can confirm, lived in Michigan over a decade. Yoopers are more Canadian than most Canadians.

Northeastern South Canada too!

I think we should return governing authority to the natives the US stole the land from. Sorry native Americans, this dumpster fire is yours to fix now.

Put it to a vote and I bet it would surprise you which states would leave the US right now.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Pretty sure the entire west coast would bounce. Especially California, aka the 4th largest economy in the world.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

That'd be hilarious.

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Besides the geography problem, I've said the West coast and the northeast should become their own country.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Those ones can just join Canada, geography problem solved.

That's genius, But treat them as a territory, they don't get the be a province. But our current territories should be made provinces first, they deserve better representation especially with climate change making the areas more comfortable for living.

you drive a hard bargain, we accept. You can even alter the deal and add more terms, but I warn you we will still accept. No take-backsies on the deal, we are Canadians now. Good luck, rest of USA, you bunch of effin losers. You're a real disappointment.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Good luck, rest of USA, you bunch of effin losers

hosers, you're Canadian now, ya gotta speak Canadian

California, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington consent to this agreement. Where do we sign?

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago

As an Oregon resident, I would be all for this. CA alone would be a pretty good chunk of federal taxes.

We don't want you. Split into 50 countries and we'll deal with the sane ones. We could make an American Union. But we won't merge

[–] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't want me either :/

I dunno. Let it fester as a territory for a while. Maybe Nunavut has languished long enough. Time to elevate the places we already have.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago

it would have to be a territory.. or territories, even it's 50 of them. as territories only get 1 mp each. a 340+ million population province would get like 90% of the seats in parliament.

Bill Shatner’s a badass.

[–] Covoid@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Shatner had a well earned reputation as an egotistical asshole for a long time, but he does seem to have become more reasonable in recent years

How is he 94 years old while not even looking 70?

[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In 2286 he did a slingshot maneuver around the sun to go back in time. Get with it, dog.

For the other people who were also doubtful that the thumbnail was how he currently looks, yes he really looks like that right now at 94 years old.

Shatner pulls a "no u" after everyone already made that joke for weeks already.

He's old, it takes him a minute to catch up

If Trump keeps being antagonistic, Carney should start calling him Premier Trump.

Canada doesn't want to be responsible for that dumpster fire.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Too late my Canadian brother, HertzDentalBar let us in. I promise to learn to speak Canadian and the words to our "hey Canada" anthem.

I've got to tell you, even joking about being Canadian take a huge weight off my shoulders. I didnt realize how much stress I was carrying around. Everyone try it, pretend Canada just made a deal to take your state over and you're now Canadian. Feels so good doesnt it.

We wouldn't want to violate the prime directive though.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Who wants us?! Lmao. We are like the ugly chick with a nice ass and rich parents. Sure, some things are good, but not worth the attitude and no makeup versions.

.... and make Shatner the first Premier of the new province of Calitexasmassachussissippi

And his government title will be called Premier but everyone has to address him as Captain

Mmmm... How about something else that doesn't allow Americans to vote? Because 11th province would just mean Canada becomes America under a different name.
