Can we split California? Northern Cal just seems like it should be Canadian honestly.

I just want to be Canadian. Nothing wrong with Mexico but I don't speak Spanish. But I can speak Canadian! Sorry.

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.

Economically this is a huge win for Canada, Atlanta is the business heart of the south and Florida gets the tourism money

There are already so many snowbirds in Florida that its almost another canadian province.

Hey yo why the fuck am I still in the same country as the carolinas get that shit out of here

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 1 points 45 minutes ago (1 children)

I feel like Canada should only be getting 1-2 states south but not 3, along with the northern part of California.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 1 points 45 minutes ago

Then again, their current providence are pretty large in comparison to the states....

It's pretty cold in Colorado already, can we join Canada too?

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 hour ago

If my state becomes part of Canada, I'd be cool with that!

[–] InevitableWaffles@midwest.social 2 points 58 minutes ago

As an Ohioan, I am not upset about this.

SC would go Mexican before we went Canadian, change my mind

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

As long as they aren't in the same country as NC.

[–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago

As long as its one or the other I'm happy.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 8 points 1 hour ago

You know what? Fuck yeah. I, for one, look forward to our new Mexican overlords.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

God yes please

You’re close but the real answer is “countries are made up and we all own everything”

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

But the reality is "countries are made up and we own nothing"

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Countries are like religions except their believers are WAY more likely to employ violence

Grant's Pass is the new San Diego? Love it

[–] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I agree with the mehmes’ vibes, but I wish people would remember all those lines are invisible and made up. It’s just 1 species.

I wonder who California would chose, I would have thought Canada but I’m not sure anymore

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

I would imagine they would choose Mexico to honor their heritage. IIRC California (like Texas) used to be part of Mexico to begin with.
