    Professor Maxine Welkers of the University of Toronto Economics Dept. explains, “Given Americans’ low literacy rates, costly health insurance, and how much animal shit their FDA allows in their food, Canada annexing the U.S. is really more of a humanitarian gesture.”

    That line is gold.

      Just New York, Hawaii, and Alaska. They can keep the rest.

    Nobody doing the math on the number of seats that “province” would have? All other provinces would lose their power. You think the pull Ontario and Quebec have is bad? Hooo boy.

      We can do an administrative region, and pull a Puerto Rico on them.

      If you split the north and south into two provinces, they’d vote at odds with eachother enough to be controlled.

      Combine that with some good ol gerrymandering by creeping your provinces down into the US, you’d chip away at US votes enough I can’t imagine it’d really be a huge issue.

    This is like going to the adoption agency and asking for the meanest, most disruptive child and then adopting that one.

      Some of the states are cool. Let MAGA have their own states, so they can find out for themselves how their experiment sucks.

        None of the states are cool. Outside of the cities and urban areas its a red majority country. Incredibly racist and misogynist.
