How about more of a balkanized region of red and blue states, interspersed as decided by resident vote?
Red states can have all the racism, guns and freedum they want, and blue states get an English-speaking labor force with no healthcare and no minimum wage, right at their doorsteps. Win-win!
Tons of agriculture in the northern half of California. I live in Sacramento, it's like 95% people growing food. Hell, it's even called the farm to fork capital. We're a perfect fit for Canada! They can have the south.
I just Googled what Canadian bacon is because I had never heard that term before and...isn't that just ham? Why...why are you guys calling it Canadian bacon?? We eat regular bacon up here!
Can we tilt it a bit, maybe let Mexico have Oregon and Idaho and let Canada have Georgia and Florida? Canadians need a place to hit the beach in the winter without needing a passport, and some Mexicans would love to move somewhere where it never got hot. Plenty of Canadian retirees already live in Florida part time.
Could we maybe somehow still have Orlando and Daytona Beach? Like just that one part, where all the fun is? Maybe it's an EEC free zone or something. We'll give it to Greenland and Denmark as tribute, they are a bunch of bros those guys and gals.
And every snowbird employs 20 Latinos who are there year round raising families. South Floridas demographics have higher representation from like 10 other Latin American countries before Mexican though, so maybe it should be it's own sort of city state with the rest going to Mexico.
While it would be funny to watch the confusion of so many people over the milk bags, we have to remember our friends of a Mexico and Greenland. It's in Canadian spirit to share with our friends, and to treasure them. Basically let's just make it a fun little commune that's kind of all of ours, while maintaining our own sovereign lands.
We want the white house though. We, uh, have this plan envisioned in our heads...
Last time I was in Denver, I'm pretty sure about 50% of the plates I saw were Albertan. Which was pretty weird, but apparently there was an oil and gas show on or something, so that sort of makes sense. My point is, we already clearly have great relations with each other, so this makes total sense.
It would be a toss up since San Francisco is full of tech bros like Seattle and Portland, and the movie business does a lot of filming in Vancouver BC.
I definitely could envision Washington and Oregon as Canadian, but I'm not so sure about California. Just a total different vibe for sure, not a bad one or anything (California is great), but probably they'd be happier and better off with Mexico.
