    More like the US will be bought by Canada.

    I too like to help people out but I don't know if we'll survive absorbing Florida and Texas while remaining a federal democracy. We already have Alberta and it's difficult. 😅

    (AB canucks, this is a joke. Please don't get mad at me. If you still do, I apologize.)

    Just take the northeast (NY, VT, CT, MA, NH, RI, ME), and the west coast. The rest won't complain.

    The PNW would complain.

    Washington and Oregon at least are part of the West Coast, and I don't know how much Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas would complain. Outside of urban areas the country seems to be pretty red regardless of where you go, and those states are definitely not known for being very urban.

    If Canada got rid of FPTP, proportional representation and ranked voting across all its provinces (Texas and Florida would become provinces) and federation (get rid of the monarchy), Florida and Texas would be much less of an issue.

    Is Canada that big on charities? I know they’re well known as being pleasant and kind, but are they so pleasant and kind that they’d accept a catastrophically bankrupt welfare country as their own?

    There no expected ROI on America for decades!
