Imagine the national hockey team we’d have.
This is the Canadian plan to get their national goaltenders back on track
They can have the goaltenders if they also take their ted cruz back and keep him there. I feel like Canada did a drive-by trash dumping when Cruz showed up here.
No thank you. Send him out on an ice floe.
Carney should send some kind of delegation down there. You know…nothing official. Just to “talk”.

waves of conservatives screaming about leaving the USA all over the internet and also getting on local news and shit
The unfortunate thing with voters is that those most able to emigrate don’t vote Conservative; so all they can do is wonk at the press. When the lefties - typically better educated, as per the stats - want to emigrate, they actually have a chance.
I’d like to see stats too, obviously.

It would be funny if all the US emigrants ended up in Alberta and didn’t wanted to be again in the US.

I find it hilarious that this made its way to CBC. Usually they don’t stir the international politics pot like this.
California Washington Oregon and Hawaii are in too and I don’t want to debate about Hawaii because we need to band together for protection from this evil regime standing alone isn’t an option at this time
And canada getting a tropical paradise would be the cherry on top
At that point it’s blue America with a bit of Canada attached, though. At least by population.
Have you ever been in Rural Washington or Oregon? How about Orange County California? There are some really fucked up MAGA Nazi fucks in those areas. Just because the cities are blue doesn’t mean the rural parts aren’t filled with dumbass, sister fucking, redneck cunts.
They can leave and go to maga land and we invite the sane people from middle America to settle their property. They’ll leave one way or another
There are some really fucked up MAGA Nazi fucks in those areas.
The RCMP are busy, but they’ll get to that issue eventually. We will build secure housing for those people near our new Northern seaport.
I’m in. I love hockey, politeness, and poutine. I can handle winter and cold. I already know the anthem in English and French, because hockey. And I hate the Leafs.
And I hate the Leafs.
You could have just said this part and I’d fully support you as a citizen.

Let me know if that’s gonna happen so I can move to MN real quick
If Minnesota goes, I bet Wisconsin would be soon to follow after recent events.
Out of all the States, Minnesota is one of the few I’d have almost zero objection to welcoming in. “Minnesota Nice” and “Canadian Polite” are closely related (but somewhat different).
Sadly, it will never happen. Adding a province requires re-opening the Constitution, and that’s not going to happen. (If you’re too young to remember, look up the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords)
Minnesota is already honorary Canadian and in my opinion, always has been.
Constitutions are made up by people and people can change them. All you need to do is either get everyone to agree, or make sure the people who don’t agree can’t stop you. Trump chose the latter, and has completely ignored and dismantled the US constitution. Whatever comes out the other side is going to be very, very different. I’m not saying that we should do that. But in the face of an existential threat like that, I don’t think it’s beyond reason that we could, in fact, get everyone to agree. It’s amazing how staring mutual death and dissolution in the face can change the bitterest of rivalries into if not perfect alignment, at least a functional working relationship. Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.
Honestly, Canada takes Minnesota and the great lake state, and the east and west coasts form their own countries might not be the worst outcome in 10 years or so.
Putin wouldnt mind some US states fragmenting and joining canada so maybe he’ll allow trump to allow it. It’d cause more carnage in American politics.
100% Fuck No!
There are way too many Americans that will not adapt to Canadian culture. Even on the left there is heavy “American exceptionalism” brainwashing and they love guns and Jesus way too much.
Remember that 1/3 of Americans wanted to do something other than Trump. 2/3rd wanted him or didn’t give a shit enough to vote.
If Americans want a better life, they can move to Canada.
Deport them to America lol
It’s hilarious seeing you put American liberals in the same sentence as guns and Jesus.
You know damn well the Trailer Park Boys was a documentary, and that there’s many a modern Canadian conservative more deserving of the ire.
“America is bad” is more a trope than reality — you highlight the most sensationalist atrocities while ignoring the inconceivably large land and goodwill dividend that so many actual Americans embody.
A Canadian was just arrested for sexually assaulting 100+ American girls. Things like that and oh idk, Canadian disappearing of folk, kidnapping of First Nation children, items like the Somali affair where your peace corps murdered a teenager etc — so much criticism is only deemed valid one-way, when it’s a more toiling nation-state scrounging its fist and shouting “you’re the baddie and Canada’s better…”
— the sweet irony of that being you’d claim American exceptionalism there as well.
Ok. Thanks for playing.
Thank you for further confirming my comment.
Please take Maine too!
Out of the fire, into the frying pan?
My first thought. Would their politics shift right or are Manitoba and the PC only right-wing in the context of Canada?
Minnesota has about 4x the population of Manitoba, by the way.
Edits: subject-verb agreement and punctuation
The most left wing of the US is still right of anything in Canada.
Minnesota voted 47% for Trump last election. It would be the most right-wing province in Canada if it joined. No thanks.
I did not know that Minnesota was that populated.
I mean, it’s not. Unless you live in Manitoba.
Hah, or the rest of Western Canada. At 5.8 million it has more people than either British Columbia or Alberta. Although it is close.
In the purely hypothetical situation where Minnesota joined Canada, it would most likely become its own province and not be fused with Manitoba.
If you haven’t watched this beauty, please do. It’s hilariously accurate on Minnesotan communication, and I believe many of our Canadian brethren will identify with it. Might even help our chances of getting in.
Thanks, PBS!
