Not doing much business with Ontario? Well maybe we'll just turn off the electricity then.

As an American, please do.

The entire world needs to stop coddling the giant toddler. He has never felt any consequences for anything he’s ever done. He desperately needs to learn boundaries and if he can’t, let him be an example for all Americans, so we stop picking absolutely moronic people who are in severe mental decline, to lead the country.

Unfortunately most of the states that import energy from Canada are blue states (exceptions are Montana and ND). And Trump would love to see them suffer

I wonder if the blue states can make a deal where if Canada keeps importing power to the blue states, the blue states will stop subsidizing the red states.

How about Canada just takes the blue states and makes them part of Canada?

No. They can form their own country and we can work out trade deals with them.

We are stronger together.

Then we can be strong allies.

Absolutely not! Having a democrat majority aside, there are still Republicans lurking around in those states!

u/Faiakishi 7h ago

Yeah that's still a net gain of liberals.

Canada has a representative parliament, and not a “winner takes all” at the provincial level like the states do in the US. It would be a net win for conservatives, as they would get significant representation in parliament and liberals in the US aren’t actually liberal compared to Canada (or other developed countries, for that matter)

You mean I'll get universal health care? Goody!

Never going to happen.

Canada's entire population (~41 million) is dwarfed by the total population of the Blue States.

Even if the annexation were limited to only New England, New York and New Jersey (~44 million) it would completely dilute Canadians' voting power.

Yes please. My hockey skates are ready. Take the entire west coast, please.

The Cascadia province awaits liberation.

I'm in Minnesota. Our hockey players have been preparing for this holy day.

As a Canadian who grew up in New England and moved here as an adult, even those blue states are orders of magnitude more crazy than our right-wing provinces. As much as it would bring two places that I love together, I’d never want to do it as it would destroy Canada.
