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

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 1 points 35 minutes ago

Which is all part of the EU. Sign me up

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

Why not? I would vote yes to allow Canada into the EU.

[–] tacobellhop@midwest.social 2 points 8 hours ago

Is Canada having issues with sovereign autonomy? Why even sit at the table?

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

How about the US just becomes provinces 14-64? I'll gladly take anything else.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You want more convoys? Ingesting the US will give you nothing but cancer. If it's not a city or a suburb, you're just absorbing indoctrinated fascism. It's pervasive.

[–] CanadianCorhen@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 hours ago

Yea, I'll take the top 20.

Mexico can take the bottom 30

Nah sorry we're not taking the red states. They can be their own Christofascist hell elsewhere.

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 8 hours ago

make a list of the ones y'all want we can work out a deal

[–] MediocreBee@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

Can I raise you the proposal of Canada and Jesusland

this looks like a dragon head with cat / dragon torso and cat legs

Alaska needs to be integrated though, don't want another Kaliningrad.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

So just all of new england, the pacific northwest and California.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

California already goes to Denmark though

[–] PumpkinSkink@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Türkiye is gonna be pissed.

[–] europeanfan122@lemm.ee 6 points 17 hours ago

Wouldn’t mind it one bit

[–] Zink@programming.dev 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

At a minimum any states bordering Canada, including those bordering the 4 Great Lakes shared with Canada, should get a vote of which country to go with.

Pennsylvania is 100% included, and honestly if Indiana and Illinois go for it despite being on the “wrong” Great Lake, I’m not going to complain.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

You can give us Buffalo any day. I love that city so much.

[–] androidul@lemmy.ml 8 points 20 hours ago

The EU 🇪🇺 is more than welcome to include Canada 🇨🇦 as the 28th member state 🤝

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

I mean we did kinda get our asses kicked in 1812 after we started a war the president would later say we were unprepared for.

Might be some geographical issues (perhaps of the ocean variety) with this proposal

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 8 hours ago

new caledonia and french guiana are laughing it up from the southern hemisphere

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well, Ireland is separated from the rest of the continent by ocean. Canada is just a slightly bigger island, slightly further away...

[–] el_eh_chase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

There is French territory just off the coast of Newfoundland too (see Saint Pierre and Miquelon), also Denmark is right next door because of Greenland. So while still pretty far fetched, there is some precedent for European territory in North America.

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 8 points 16 hours ago

Canada shares a land border with Greenland on Hans Island.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Ireland is separated from the rest of the continent by ocean.

The Celtic Sea is not an ocean.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

By that logic then Vancouver Island isn't an island because the Juan de Fuca is a strait not an ocean

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

They didn't say Ireland wasn't an island because of it... But, for the record, Canada isn't an island anyway so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I wasn't awake when I wrote that but I still think they meant to imply it doesn't make it an island. Poor reader here I guess.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Maybe canada can be the first member of a post-European EU. I guess we'll need a new name.

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 4 points 18 hours ago

Cyprus is already the first non-European EU member.

One hell of a trading block and the EU GDP would leave the MAGA fucks in their dust trail.

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Ya know, when you put it that way

Tap for spoilerPun intended. Get rocked.

[–] Rubanski@lemm.ee 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

That doesn't look as absurd as it might seem at first!
