        It is as difficult for us as it is for an American. It’s not very common to be able to get a work permit without an employer sponsoring you and most EU employers have enough selection in Europe they don’t need people from North America.

        I speak French (fluent), Spanish (good but not well enough for a formal workplace), and enough Danish to make myself understood

    At a minimum any states bordering Canada, including those bordering the 4 Great Lakes shared with Canada, should get a vote of which country to go with.

    Pennsylvania is 100% included, and honestly if Indiana and Illinois go for it despite being on the “wrong” Great Lake, I’m not going to complain.

    I’m super jealous because I’ve wanted to have Canadian citizenship since back in my late teens / early adulthood when I realized that there was already a version of America that actually lived up to American ideals and which offered same-sex marriage as well as universal healthcare. That weed and apparently codeine are legal there make it so much more bittersweet.

    The only people I’ve known personally to get citizenship are those who married a Canadian citizen. Which sucks for me because I’m already happily partnered and there’s no way I’d give that up for anything, not even Canadian citizenship, awesome and appealing as it is.

      It would be amazing if Canada made a bunch of demands that would be seen as unreasonable. Like, demand that every Canadian province and territory be split in two, and each be admitted as it’s own state. That would add 26 new states! There’s no way the US would go for that. I’m American, I hate this administration and I have been to Canada many times. Anything that Canada can do to mess with these morons in office would be welcome.

    Let the GOP force them to become a state. They’d get 2 senate seats and more electoral college votes and congressional seats than any other state. Just in time for the Dems to run on deannexing Canada.

        Territories are still citizens, who can vote when they reside in states. If 2-3% of Canada immigrated, that’s 1 million people, which would shift the balance in a lot of places.

        Of course, even if you shifted 10 seats in the Senate, the democrats would probably give republicans half the budget and let them write their own bills in the name of bipartisanship (again), and you’d quickly become as hopeless as the average american is in the democrats helping them.

        There is French territory just off the coast of Newfoundland too (see Saint Pierre and Miquelon), also Denmark is right next door because of Greenland. So while still pretty far fetched, there is some precedent for European territory in North America.
