I'm willing to consider California becoming the 11th province. We're gonna make these GAFAM pay for all these years of manipulation and rename the US to Naziland.

Nah, California is too right-wing and populous, it'd overwhelm Canada's Canadianness.

I think we should take Alaska, it always made more sense as a Canadian territory.

If you think California is too right wing, but Alaska isn't?

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

It's right wing too, but it's not populous.

California's population is roughly equal to Canada's. Alaska's got less than 2% of Canada's population. We can absorb Alaska without too much disruption, California would be more of a fusion. And their economy is twice the size of Canada's, so likely it'd be seen as more of Canada joining California rather than the other way around.

New England would almost entirely very much like to become the southern-most Canadian province.

No thanks. Other than VT they are more right-wing than Canada.

As one of “them,” I can confidentially tell you that that is not the case.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As one of "them", I think it's pretty close :/
