      Actually, being American takes a lot of work. You have to pretend to be cisgender or you’ll die. Being a dead american, sure, you’re right. But being an alive american is hard.

    Once trump cuts off all government funding from the blue states as he keeps threatening to do, maybe they could join Canada as provinces. It should be win-win considering the blue states contribute more to the federal govt. than they receive from it; while red states receive more than they contribute. So they would make Canada stronger and Trumpistan weaker. Trump wants to expand US lands to impress his idol putin and be like him, but instead he would lose territory.

      It’s a nice idea, but they should be independent.

      California has a larger population (and also GDP, I believe) than Canada.

      It makes no sense that Canada would want to more than double its population overnight.

        Create a Union. Let Europe help - we’re VERY interested in a strong and democratic North American continent, and perhaps we can teach one or two things about democratic resiliency to the so-called “land of the free”.
