These days I have more in common with Canadians than I do with my fellow countrymen.
Look. Guys. Secession was settled in 1865.
However, if those blue states decided “fuck this, we’re joining Canada” I would load what I can into my minivan and head for one of those states immediately upon the announcement.
Edit: Also, this is a Russian wet dream.
If Canada’s immigration laws weren’t so strict, I would move there now. Unfortunately, they were so swamped with immigrants during Trump’s first term, they decided to make emigrating from the US not quite as easy.
I just spent the weekend bouncing between VT and Quebec and tbh, it seems like a really soft border, culturally. I love VT. I love Canada.
I got to participate in the r/BuyCanadian mission, met some wonderful francophone montrealers, refreshed on my french vocab, and dream of socialism.
Take me with you, VT! Better yet, take all of MA, NH, and Maine with you. Thatd be half of the US’s best universities and hospitals, some of its highest earners, and most educated citizens.
I want to be in Canada, if Canada comes to me, all the better
Let’s just take our country back and keep it this time.
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY I would support this, if it were possible.
I don’t think I’m at all prepared for the financial and safety ramifications of the resulting Civil War, but if there were a way to do it without bloodshed, I’d 100% be for it.
J’adore! C’est très bonne! VIVA QUÉBEC!
I think it would be called the United Provinces of Canada
Poor Coloradans
Dear Vermont,
Can I come over?
Sincerely,
A Louisianian who hates her state. With a passion.
Vermont, you’re not bad. But you guys owe it to Bernie to fight for your homeland.
C’mon, guys. Don’t bring your problems up North.
No one else can fight for your future against your current government. You guys are the only ones who can stand against it without starting a world war.
I’d love to join Canada if they’d have us. The trouble is- what I do for a living- they don’t employ me in Canada- so I’d be in a rough spot. But at least I wouldn’t be under the thumb of president musk and his orange sock puppet.
264 comments in 2 hours wow!
I think Maine would go in a heartbeat if it could.
Honestly… no!!! Let’s take America back from the closeminded folks who conservatives keep in darkness. Our country is still beautiful and special and I hope we can rid it of our worst tendencies soon 💔
You can’t leave New Mexico and Colorado out.
New Mexico is solid blue and would never survive. We’ll have to carve a path through Southern Arizona. Tucson is a deep blue town anyway.
Canadian here: I’d love for Maine to join us. At the end of hostilities during the war of 1812, the British controlled Maines territory but was handed back under the peace treaty (I think).
As someone from New Jersey who went to UVM (like kinda everyone else in the mid 90s), I support this completely.
Screw Pennsylvania! Jesus land for them.
This would kind of suck imo. We would lose some good land to people that wouldn’t respect it.
As a would-be member of the US of Canada, I say that we have a strong border defense. Can’t be having chuds sneaking in for our amazing economy and free health care
I see something about an unbeatable curling team, I upvote.
I’m a simple man….and I hate Facism
Please, take Ohio with you!!! Just for me. All other Ohioans be damned.
My high school French is not going to cut it
Demand the reformation of the union to your local representative

Canadian here. If the details could be worked out, I’d be all for it. Welcome to universal healthcare and a better education system. Go, Bernie!
Canadian here: Looks like a great idea to me! Haha.
Seriously though, the insults and threats from Trump have really touched a nerve up here, and I suspect a lot of Canadians will avoid the US for many years to come. That being said, we know that he doesn’t represent the views of all Americans and we love our friends and family in the US.
Me!!! You already have the Maple 🍁 syrup part figured out… just add eh to your vocabulary
I welcome our future Canadian overlords
Only if I can be “visiting” Vermont the day it happens.
Oh Canada! Take me away!
Include Colorado please
Gotta include Virginia in there. We voted against a trump each time. We also have a lot of great workers and resources.
Oui
1000%. i just want universal healthcare.
