    So I hear some of yall are considering it, just be sure to demand each province as a state if you actually decide to join our clusterfuck of a country. Nunavut has just as much right to statehood as Quebec

      Nunavut does not, but that’s because it’s organized as a territory, rather than a province. Big differences in sub-national governance.

      So Nunavut could join the ranks of USVI, Guam, Samoa, Puerto Rico, etc.

        was at local best buy here in scarborough, saw a guy talking to some landscapers wearing body armor and a maga hat.

          “Hang on. Let me run inside and get my sledge hammer and industrial hedge trimmers to make sure your suit is safe, practical, and fit for purpose… Wouldn’t want you getting hurt.”

          Pardon my language, but holy fuck what an absolute goof of a moron.

          I live 5 minutes from someone who plasters their property with Trump election signs and has one of those signs with changeable letters where they regularly write U.S. political nonsense. They’ve been doing this since the last election.

          I’m in Ontario.

          How many Qonvoyers were going on about their “second amendment rights”. One must presume they are very concerned about the formation of Manitoba.

        I would never want my province to join America, but I wouldn’t mind if we separated from Canada and join a couple of nearby states who left America to make something new. Both America and Canada kind of suck.

      Yeah it would just never happen. For that kind of change, according to the constitution, every province will need to approve it (unanimous) + the 2 houses of federal government. That will simply never happpen.

        That’s assuming Trump doesn’t just order the military in and annex us by force, which is the greater concern.
