      prefer the US become Canada’s 11th province

      Whoa whoa; not all of it. Let the adjacent regions ask to be a province and we’ll see how ‘good’ a ‘fit’ they are. I mean, Cascadia will be a good fit, MAYBE some of their adjacents. East coast is hit-and-miss, but largely hit. The middle, though. Yeesh. Probation for sure.

        Washington (or at least Seattle) seems somewhat compatible with BC. Montana is probably a reasonable match with Alberta and Saskatchewan.
        North Dakota is far too MAGA to fit with the NDP voters in Manitoba.

        Not sure how well the states bordering Ontario would get along with douggie ford’s government.

        I doubt any of Quebec’s southern neighbors would be thrilled about having to learn French.

        surely you didn’t mention Michigan only because it’s so obvious, right?

        Hell, we’re already used to your currency. (Canadian coins are accepted interchangeably with their US counterparts)

          Imagine my surprise when the bridge wouldn’t accept my Canadian quarters…

          But yes, the last time I got a roll of quarriers from the bank, at least a dollar of it was Canadian.

            I get unreasonably indignant when a person or machine won’t accept my Canadian coins. It’s totally fair since it’s “foreign currency”, but … C’mon. Not accepting Canadian quarters is just petty.

        I’m against a return to the crown

        You can opt out, it’s all good. But, book the u-haul early.

        I’ll put a fancy old person and a loon on some coins for better healthcare.

        At this point, a functioning democracy with a symbolic regent is a hell of a lot more grounded than a broken democracy trying to find its way to something a little more autocratic.
