Why are we talking about how difficult it would be? It’s not acceptable, we don’t want it, and we make the decisions about our nation.
we make the decisions about our nation.
of course you do
Lol
There’s no discussion. Fuck off or declare war
So stop discussing it. Dumb mfers take the bait every time.
I’m so sick of this bullshit. No. Stop talking about it.
American here, keep talking about it.
The world would be a better place if American and Canada became one country.
The only people who would lose out are Canadians, but everyone else would be better off for it.
I’ll die for my land before I become a second class citizen to your empire, fascist
Sure bud.
fascist
Be careful. That word is starting to lose meaning.
It’s really not. You say fascist things, you get called a fascist
The only people saying it has lost meaning are, in fact, fascists who are butthurt they were called what they are.
And from your other posts on this subject you’re not just a fascist, but straight up a psycho who gets off on violence.
I hope you seek help.
🥱
You’re living in a fantasyland.
I hope you seek help.
Irony.
Sometimes the decision to block an account is just trivial.
Ok, if that’s how you feel become a Canadian province then.
USA for 11th province, let’s go.
I like the sound of 4th territory myself.
But in all seriousness they have way too many issues they would need to deal with first.
Are you a vet?
Like Quebec would ever say “Yes”…
Can Canada just annex NYS then? No need to merge them all together, just take my state for now, and see how it goes.
All right but you have to agree that Montreal make the better bagels.
As a non-NYC resident, I will accept this.
I’m intrigued now. As a dumb American in Florida, I didn’t even know Montreal had a claim for this. I must have a Montreal bagel.
I think NYC tries to claim it. I guess Montreal too?
Whatever, I’m getting cheese fries, but will agree to most anything if it means NY becomes Canada.
I’ll even say Hamilton has the best chicken wings, if that’s what it takes!
I guess Montreal bagels are sweeter and cruncher, and NY bagels are bigger and doughier?

i dunno about you but i’d love it if new england became a canadian province, can we just like literally do the exact opposite of what the mandarin chief wants and let canada absorb some of the US? please? Fucking PRETTY PLEASE???
😉 You folks have a funny accent, you should take New Scotland, New Brunswick, NFLD and Labrador because they talk funny too. (jkg of course)
i’m from western MA so they don’t have to worry about me talking about Pahkin da Cah at Hahvahd Yahd :p
would joining the two countries be better for everyone? in some ways, yes . in a lot of ways, no
but no matter what way you spin it. it falls flat on its face after a bucket of cold realism is thrown over you.
The reality is Canadians would lose their rights as citizens and would be at best, passengers living in poverty. and at worst, would be slaveshundreds of thousands would go into poverty, be imprisoned by the occupants for not following their rules, or just straight up be deported or murdered. and yes I said occupants, it would be a military occupation for generations before the occupants even thought the new territory was ready to have some new states carved out. Until then look no further than Donetsk and Luhansk in Ukraine, what goes on there? Natives are evicted and killed, Immigrants from the “core” are shipped in to take their homes, the news shows off some north korean style tranquil scenes of everything working out fine, and there’s small fake ballot stuffed elections to pretend all is well since the takeover.
there are a select few things I’d be envious of being part of the US over. but the fact remains that im not a fucking idiot, and It would be a net negative for every single person in my country. I’m not going to play devils advocate for people who would be trying to kill us
Cowboys vs Canadians.
Canadian Reservations.
Canadian Residential Schools. In Texas. No ice rink.
Free blankets.
Exclusive Rights to all curling related gambling.
Cheap whiskey and cigarettes on the reservation.
Yeah we already have our own trailer trash parks and fucked up reservations thanks. Don’t need to throw gas on a flame
Yeah it would involve war. I don’t want war with my neighbors. I want a good alliance with them and maybe even the sort of border they have over in Europe. War would be stupid on America’s part and not resisting with military force if needed would be stupid on Canada’s part
He never actually meant it. Why does nobody get it? It’s a distraction. Stop fuelling it. This headline is exactly what Trump wants.
You don’t know that, and Project 2025 states that foreign affairs must be subject to national interests. The GOP is prioritizing access to strategic minerals as a long term goal. DT has stated the annex desire repeatedly and consistently.
At the least, the economic assault is not a distraction, and it is obviously the initial stage in an escalation. People are already affected, and pissed.
Anchoring is legitimately a negotiation technique where you start with an absurd demand to set the framing of the haggling.
Ie now the idea of expanded sea port security integration doesn’t seem like a crazy thing to exchange for elimination of tariffs.
But guess what, expanded sea port security integration would drastically reduce our ability to economically pivot in the face of future tariff threats. Ie if expanded sea port security integration means the USA can prevent us from using our sea ports.
Should probably include the periods in i.e.
I’m guessing you’re on a phone.
What? No it wouldn’t!
I mean yes it would in application. But the human species has been invading and changing governments in other countries since the dawn of time.
It’s possible. I assure you.
And I also wouldn’t be upset if it happened. As an American.
You’re not welcome here.
This is a world news sub… Not a patriotic America is awesome sub.
You’re not welcome here.
Then why are you advocating for Canada to be merged into the US? Do you have it backwards?
Once again this is a world news sub, not a ‘patriotic America is awesome’ sub—so why are you acting like dissenting opinions aren’t welcome? I said I wouldn’t be against America merging into Canada, and instead of engaging with that idea, you’re just telling me to leave. If you actually disagree, make an argument instead of trying to police who gets to participate.
The general opinion around the world is that your country has gone to shit. You’re welcome to have your opinions but the rest of us are equally welcome to call you a moron.
I’m not the one who said to leave. I’m confused why you would say you agree with the title, which is anti-US, and then say this community (not sub - that’s a Reddit term) isn’t “America is awesome.” The title says “Merging Canada into the US,” not “America merging into Canada.” Huge difference.
As an American, I’d be upset if it happened. It’s bonkers to just be like, “oh other sovereign nation NBD you no longer exist,” absolute madness.
Besides we could just (re)negotiate the trade agreements we have in place which apparently are so bad. I wonder who did a bad job with them last time we changed the framework and name of NAFTA … Oh right the Trump admin.
There’s no good reason, in my point of view, we couldn’t have an equivalent to the EU for North and South America - freedom of movement, establishing standards, less friction when it comes to trade - but that would require some true visionaries with a lot of influence and power to work. I doubt it would come to be but I wouldn’t be upset if it happened.
Won’t someone please rid us of the meddling orange man and his sad lonely billionaire buddy.
I totally agree.
Canadians don’t have an effective military.
Are they suggesting they would resist the US by force? That’d be a bad idea, way worse than joining.
Nah. Fucking do it. Let’s start WWIII. At this point it would be USA against Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Panama, Greenland, Ukraine…
Let’s get the entire world to gang up on America like we ganged up on Germany a few years ago
Greenland brings in Denmark and Denmark all of Europe
And Canada all of the Commonwealth
NATO also doesn’t specify that the attacker is excluded if they were a NATO member. It just states if an attacker hits one of the members article 5 goes into effect. So an attack on Canada brings 31 countries against the U.S.
That’s not a war, dude.
World War 3 is a war.
Yeah, start a war with a nation you share the longest unsecured boarder with, filled with people who look and sound like you, who also have a history of record geneva convention additions. That sounds like a great idea, what with the USs great track record at winning wars of insurgencies…
The ONLY way Canada would ever even entertain considering joining the US is if they give up their guns and implement a training and licensing regime based on gun ownership being a privilege, not a right. They would have to implement universal health care and get rid of the parasite class of unnecessary profit sucking health insurance companies. They would have to agree that every citizen has the absolute right to vote, electoral boundaries must be set by a non-partisan commission, that every citizen has free and equal access to the ballot box, and elections are carried out by marking an X on a piece of paper using a stubby pencil, putting that piece of paper in a cardboard box, opening that cardboard box at the end of the night, counting the ballots, calling in the count, and declaring a winner by midnight on election day. That religious freedom means that you can practice your religion however you want right up until it has any effect on anyone other than you and then it stops and that religious freedom is NOT the right to discriminate. That everyone is equal, has the right to love and marry whoever they want. That workers have rights, get vacation, sick leave, parental leave, bereavement leave, and that those things are entitlements. That free speech doesn’t include hate speech, racism, discrimination, harassment, or doxing. It’s none of anyone’s fucking business what anyone does with their body and women have the absolute and exclusive right to make decisions about their healthcare with their healthcare provider.
That’s just a start. If you can’t agree to those conditions then it’s a non-starter.
A lot of these hypotheticals can be answered by “we’ll just slaughter anyone who makes a fuss” because that’s where our country’s moral framework will be if we ever march troops across the border. Like an ultra nationalist fascist state is going to concern itself with old treaties and popular sentiments.
From a Canadian prespective, we would commit all the war crimes we could against an invading force, especially one we could not fight a conventional war against and win.
Im talking sending American GIs home in unrecognizable condition.
I dont care what government is in power by then. Invade Canada and be prepared to die in horrible ways, mutilated, and sent back to your loved ones in chunks.
This is the only way we could win a war against the US and we would not hesitate to do it.
You shouldn’t hesitate. And some USians would like to join you in eradicating the fascists.
Realistically, we are so fucked. One single bomb on a highway or railway can completely decimate any one of our province’s ability to move people or goods and perform services. Our border is too long and wild to be defendable. And they could probably take out our entire military logistics in a single night of bombings. All of this isn’t even to mention that if they wanted to go all out insane they could make nuclear threats if the Canadian government doesn’t capitulate. I’m not saying we couldn’t resist once occupied, it’s just fucking hideous to think about.
Im referring to resistance. We dont stand a chance in a regular engagement.
Yeah, no. There will be no “canadian resistance.”
Lol. Anyone who tries to form some resistance will be charged with terrorism and made an example of.
You’re all bark and no bite. Canadians would rather live as Americans than die as Canadians. It’s just a fact of life.
I’m a dual citizen and I’d sooner burn my American passport. Americans who think like this can get fucked and suck Donnie’s tiny fingers.

I no longer live in a boarder state but if brown coats started marching north they would have to get there first.
I’ve noticed this bluster among Canadians.
It’s just bluster. I think surrendering is in your blood thanks to the French.
Winning wars and then losing the occupation is in your very recent history.
If by recent you mean at least a third of America’s history (longer if you count the complete lack of change in the south as a failed outcome), then yes. Recent.
Hey hey hey dont fucking sully our vast history! Losing occupancy has been a staple of ALL of American history.
That would be stupid. When Italians were conscripted to fight against British soldiers in Africa, most of them didn’t even like Mussolini. So what did they do? The surrendered and sat the rest of the war out.
That wouldn’t have happened if the allies had a policy of mutilating their prisoners.
Fascism is a hate movement, and hatred is self-destructive. You can’t defeat an enemy with hatred you’ll only destroy yourself.
Offer an out for those that want to sit it out. Those that won’t, are targets that need to be eliminated. Not a target of your fucked up torture fantasies.
To be clear, you think there would be an actual war with any safe space to store prisoners? The US would roll over Canada’s military in any open conflict, and crush any official bases. Any war would be entirely guerilla warfare, in which case taking prisoners is entirely unrealistic
Yep, occupied territory doesn’t have much opportunity for holding defectors, because it can be hard to prevent infiltration. Behind front lines is different though.
Nah. If Americans invade its open season. No mercy.
The Geneva checklist
Why would anyone think twice about this ridiculous word fart from a demented rapist?
Move on, nothing to see here.
