Why are they going to the American government? What do they want to get from the American government?

[–] festus@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 months ago

They want to separate from Canada to become a US state. Presumably they're looking for support so that the Americans can pressure our government on behalf of the separatists, etc.

To be American.

The border is right over there. They can go and apply for citizenship any time they want.
