Washington, Oregon, and California as Canada’s 12th province. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and the northern 20% of Illinois and Indiana as the 13th.

I only hear Americans pitching this idea. Canada doesn't want any of the states haha

The sane ones of us who live in those states are desperate. Soory

I'm Canadian, I don't hate the idea.

In any case, it's clear that the USA is less "United" these days.... It's more just ... The States of America now.

There's like a lot of shitty people even in those states. I love Washington but no thanks.

Wouldn’t need to stick exactly to the current state boundaries. Trim off the eastern parts of some of those states on the west coast. And get enough territory to fully encircle the Great Lakes, extended enough to include Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, all of Michigan, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and parts of upstate New York.

Idk. I haven't met enough people from any of these states to have an opinion.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

Well just look at how many of them voted for trump. People in canada would have never voted for that.
