As a Canadian, we'd be happy to take Hawaii, too. Years ago there were allegedly talks to accept St. Lucia as a province - we need something in the tropics that counts as a domestic flight.

Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and likely even Nevada would probably join.

Ha, you realize Arizona is where all the boomers went to retire. It’s the biggest enclave of anti vax, make ‘Merica great, Trump humpers this side of Texas. You can keep the whole fucking state.
OmnipotentBeing
Arizona is a lot more expensive than it used to be. Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the US, and it costs almost as much as living in LA now. The old farts aren't moving here anymore.
Howlingowl
The ones already there aren’t likely to leave now that they have their fat retirement homes bought and paid for. They’ll ride out the housing market getting higher and higher. The only way they will leave is by selling but nobody’s buying.
OmnipotentBeing
Unless you've lived here, you have no clue. This state is actually purple. The original conservatives like my Grandfather, the Goldwater republicans weren't as insane as the current MAGA crowd. Arizona is the birthplace of a lot of the modern Republican movement, but they were pragmatists, not the insane idiots who are now conservatives. They despise bullshit, and nuts.

As a British Columbian it feels like interior Washingtonians would fit right in with our non-coastal/northern folks.

Then we can merge Oregon, Cali, and washington and finally have the fucking sick name "Cascadia"

giganticroboticpenguin
Right down the Cascades, then jog over split off EastNorCal between 1 and 5 down to about Willows.

We can leave out some of the eastern side. Especially Spokane.

Yeah, like, take the northern section of the California-Nevada border and extend it north through Washington and Oregon, and hand the region on the east side of the cut to Idaho. It would look tidier too.
Quenya3675
Whoa, not all of us are assholes over here. Let the right wing trash move to Idaho and the rest of us are ready to go!
KnightFerret
Leaving out the city of Spokane is dumb when it easily can be made bluer by the people living there actively being involved as seen by it having the most progressive local housing ordinances and zoning laws in the state, and rejecting their trumpy mayor for a far better one.
KnightFerret
The only reason it appears red when it's really a blue shaded purple is because of dumb local voting district choices and because so many young leftists would rather leave and live in Seattle where they don't have to actively work to make things better because someone else is already doing the work they pretend to care about. And unfortunately being the only blue dot in a sea of red is a lot harder when your population is still only large townish despite being the second biggest city in WA.
WhatUpDog3000
And give Texas back to Mexico.

That's probably the easiest way to get Mexico to declare war on the US, trying to make the lone star state their problem

pritolus
Probably better healthcare too, and a power grid that works
bluegargoyle
Fun fact- Texas seceded from Mexico because Mexico outlawed slavery, and Texas wanted to keep slaves. They gave up the "panhandle" to Oklahoma because America still allowed slavery in 1845, but ONLY below the 36°30′ latitude. And then 15 years later they went to war over slavery and tried to secede again anyway.

Given the population differences in the two countries, even if the idea were about a tenth as popular in the US as it were in Canada that would still be true
JustinArnold
California alone has more population than Canada.
DukeDarkwood
It is the only state that can say that, but that still really says something, doesn't it?
TgCCL
Unlikely to still be true. Canada has kept growing over the past few years. The estimates of their national statistical office are currently at 41.5 million, which is higher than California's last census. California meanwhile as seen a population decline in most years since then, with the US Census Bureau estimating that there are ~39.4 million people in California now, a slight decrease compared to the census.
NAbsentia
More Americans would become Canadians than there are Canadians.
UserMad42
True, but they would have something called "democracy".
It's impossible to call "democracy" the weird system the USA has now, with only 2 choices: "Ultra Right" and "Slightly less ultra Right, but clueless", all carefully gerrymandered to make sure there's no real choice for anything different.
It's not perfect up here and can be gamed by someone who is truly amoral like JustInept, but fairly often we have real choices with multiple different parties instead of just "Dumb" and "Dumber".
NAbsentia
I would hope you guys would have enough sense not to let these fuckers vote. It would be swell of you just to let them live there, but for the sake of all that is holy, don't let them vote.

arumunus
Would need to look up Canadian housing prices, but a 3b2br here in standard ass suburbia ranges from half to near full million.
Spidermonkey969696
There's lots of cheap housing, the problem is it's all in very unpopulated places with no jobs and/or brutal winters where you'll be a 4hr drive away from the nearest hospital.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
They average over a million for a home that size in the suburbs around the major Canadian cities. You might get one under a million in the least popular areas. Or you could get a condo.
MechKelly
Only thing stopping me has been the cold. But if Canada annexed a warm state, I might just move.

TheMellowPeril
You’re not a real Canadian until you buy maple syrup by the crate through people you know, or people who know people who know people who run a sugar shack.
undrh2o
Canadian provincial conservatives have been deliberately underfunding healthcare to usher in private care for their donors. The bizarre part is those conservatives have somehow convinced voters to blame Trudeau at the federal level for their mismanagement. Voters are just as stupid here as the US.
Somethingwittythiswaycomes
Canada would also get (rough math): 35.3% of the United States GDP (California and New York being 22% alone) and 6/7 Ivy League Schools and basically the countries entire higher medical care system (These states comprise 8/10 of the US's top hospitals, and would probably lead to shut down of lots of off shoots from places like the Mayo Clinic)
UserMad42
So, Canada would get the productive, intelligent, and well-educated parts of the USA? Yeah, that works...
Outlavv
My experience has been that it isnt universal. If you arent sick enough you simply dont get treated
MechanicalRomance
Universal except for dental, and most mental health care services, and it only really works if you have a family doctor which like 30% or something of us canadians dont have, and if we'll reccomend you kill yourself if we dont feel like treating you.
Like its better than whatevers happening in america, but its hardly "universal"
Srcsqwrn
No hearing either. Healthcare from the neck down
MechanicalRomance
And vision! I forget!
Rockafella83
Take mine, I’ll get California minus the fire
SortaSordid
It has its issues though, overall it works well. But if you need some brand new cancer drug you will likely have to pay for it. At least it is only the drug and not all the MRI or CT scans before hand that you are paying for.
Srcsqwrn
You get general healthcare from the neck down in about 10 business years. But at least emergencies are taken care of well, and free~
pandemicmodedad
My grandma got stage 4 throat cancer. If we lived in the US, she would have suffered severely. After she died, we get about 5k from the gov to help with cremation. Cremation costs about 6k though but at least it's skmething.
unbreathless
We just started rolling out national Pharmacare. Birth control, insulin, and other major drugs are now covered.
And for brand new cancer drugs it’s actually not usually out of pocket. There is a patchwork of programs and such to cover many items (my FiL is on one that costs $10K per injection, but pays nothing)
LongTimeCallerFirstTimeLurker
Americans think that universal healthcare means everything is free and premium service

Americans think a lot of things that just don't make any sense.
siegfriedwatson
I see people citing that it takes a long time to get seen… I needed a follow up for nearly dying here in the US and the next time my doc can see me is 4 months later… the difference is in the US you not only have wait times these days, but a chance your insurance just says “lol no” and you get worse or die.
SortaSordid
Wait times up here can vary, you can (and should) get bumped down in priority to someone that needs the MRI *now* because they are in greater need. But I doubt that differs too much from what happens at triage in emergency wards throughout the US. The biggest issue I have seen here is that we have a lack of GPs, so any US doctors wanting to move up this way I am certain the gov't will expedite your visas provided you are will to be a GP where you are needed (rural doctors are in high demand).
whyisdamien
The difference in the US is the triage is based on bank balance and skin colour .....
IchigoberriGamer
I've been waiting for a basic physical for 13 months here in America. It's been so long that my insurance has changed. The doctor might not take my new insurance, and if that's the case, I'll have to reschedule it somewhere else and wait all over again, and it won't even end up paying for the entire appointment.
siegfriedwatson
Needless to say, the Canadian wait times are basically the same as the US ones
BobisBobIsHimIsMe
But FREE
Ricobe9
And regarding those that use to criticize universal healthcare about this, it's something that can be addressed with prioritisation. In my country cancer cases get rushed ahead. If it's discovered you might have cancer, you'd get a more specific checkup within 14 days max. And if its confirmed to be cancer and a treatment is agreed upon, again max 14 days for treatment to start
Non serious issues then get down prioritized and can have long waiting times
whyisdamien
Yes, it is a form of triage!
PapaJoeNH
I want some level of respect from each other. Canadians are nothing if not decent and kind

Callipygius
Of course, but the same logic applies to the non Republicans in deeply red states, who are being excluded based on this map
zelda633000
True enough. Hey, maybe Canada should just annex the whole of the US, (except Florida)? Maybe Canada feels like they Require the natural resources and security that the States would provide, so "we" should just capitulate to their natural superiority?!?

Canada can have all the Great Lakes states. It would completely fuck what was left of America, which would lose almost all of its GDP and a substantial portion of its manufacturing capacity. So I'm all for it.
zelda633000
All they'd have to do is to say that Canada "needs it for their national security, so the US should just give it up." At least that's TFG's excuse about Greenland, so why shouldn't it work the other way? (I'm a Michigander, and at the rate this BS is going, I'd go for being a Canadian in a heartbeat...)

Maybe the Chicagoland area but south of I-80 and west of I-39 we’re pretty much a red state sadly. My family is from Wisconsin, outside of the big cities like Milwaukee, Madison, and Green bay they’re pretty red up there. I was visiting family in Tomahawk in October and you couldn’t find a Biden or Harris sign or flag to save your life. Trump flags every 100 feet though.
Illinifan88
Almost all, if not every state is red outside of its major cities.
