Nah. Maybe after they implode we can pick up the good parts but we definitely don't need the whole thing.

Yah, don't need much of the south. But maybe we can accept one northern state :) But only one, we def couldn't handle more then that if we're going to treat them like a full province.

Why limit yourself to 1 new province?

Smaile@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 10d

Because if we take to many in at once they would change the political landscape drasticly, to a point we'd likely not want even if they are blue states.

We need 3 more provinces for this to make any sense.

Does south Canada get free healthcare?

I don't think that will work out. Slavery is totally illegal in Canada while it is still allowed as punishment for a crime in the US. Texas has declared itself independent twice to maintain the institution of slavery, they'd definitely do it a third time for all that prison labor money.

California also voted to keep slavery

That's like asking your oncologist if you can keep the bits they removed.

I for one, welcome our new Canadian overlords.
