Michigander here. Home of the water, Canada's daughter. We're coming with you even if it's just for the hockey.

In this case that's called an "exclave" and yes, I believe there would be a large willing number of those.

NY thanks you for your support. What’s the pizza/poutine exchange rate like these days? Haven’t been up north in years.

I’m a Canadian and my dream is to one day fake my death and move to Minnesota where I can live in a small cabin away from anyone.

I'd love this to happen just so the USA can steamroll Canada into their backyard.

The question is, would Canada want that? I get the feeling that most of us living north of the border just want to be left alone and we would send you all the thoughts and prayers we could spare and wish you all the best so long as you let us be.

Canada cannot accept US rule because of US debt burden which is unsustainable, in addition to pensions, healthcare, and a demonic ruler under extreme corruption permitted by SCC. The US is a genuine shithole that is bound to collapse and, while that collapse will hurt Canadian economy, it is worse to be inside it.

Canadians like American people. Certainly, it is both an economic boom without sacrificing Canadian sustainability to absorb US states. A guide to secession written last time Trump won: https://www.naturalfinance.net/2016/11/opposition-to-new-us-republican-control.html

The big issue is US debt and the fair share of "leaving states". There is a fair number, but also an asshole version of the number.

Give Texas, Arizona and new Mexico to Mexico, and push all the white trash to Florida.
