    Accepting pleas from other comments here, Canada could get away with about this. And if they have the whole Pacific border, I’ll also throw in Hawaii for free.

    Trump: Fine, they can have California for all I care.

    Advisors: Sir, if California were its own country it would be the world’s 6th largest economy.

    Trump: How about if we just send all the Mexicans there with some beautiful rakes?

    Solving the problem is dissolving all borders so the working class isn’t divided into easily managed nation states.

    Give Texas, Arizona and new Mexico to Mexico, and push all the white trash to Florida.

    On behalf of California, we accept this proposal, and we accept Canada as our new federal government.

    I also propose we officially refer to the remainder of the US as “Dumbfuckistan”.

    The question is, would Canada want that? I get the feeling that most of us living north of the border just want to be left alone and we would send you all the thoughts and prayers we could spare and wish you all the best so long as you let us be.

      Almost nobody would want this. Canada has the same size population as California and it already feels full lol

      Yes, they absolutely want it - minus the dumb fuck part of Canada (is that Alberta?) - west coast and north east USA are highly educated, powerhouses in industry, and basically pay for the welfare queen red states. It’s so fucking crazy how the east coast and west coast are held hostage by all that land in the red states

        Not true, we hate parts of America. I see nothing wrong with the image. Those states are ones I actually like to visit. Hell in the beforetiimes there was never really a border between Vermont and Quebec. Whole towns were split between the borders, and people could walk across the border for a pizza across the street.

    Seriously, why isn’t the Canadian government offering US states to join them? It would be the perfect response to Trumps bullshit.

    You want Canada to submit to the US? Hey Oregon, California, and the others, wanna join us instead?

    If California leaves the US it would fucking bankrupt the US.
