Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah. Tell us Canadians again how we'd be better off as a state in your miserable shithole of a country. I must have missed something about how awesome it is to ratfuck everything in sight and violate every creature's right to exist.
Fuck you, America, you worthless cunt of a nation.
As an American I approve this message.
You’re complicit.
The YT algorithms have been pushing some Canadian podcasters about how Canada wants to join the US...then if you look up who in Canada wants this. It's basically a tiny tiny fraction of the country, and everyone of them are Canadian magats.
This country is being fucked by technocrats and the amount of idiots we have here who eat this shit up is insane. Had someone tell me the other day that most of Canada wants to become a US state, showed them this...which was before the dumbass turnip started his trade wars.

Got nothing back which means they don't believe it.
As an American, let me thoroughly reassure you: we don't want Canada to join the Union either.
I don't think we were being asked to "join".
If I reflect on the subtext, it felt like more of a limp-dick threat from a group of entitlement-complex having old white assholes in charge of a country of under-educated, mouth-breathing, inbred racists, with a soupçon of imperialism.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I hope you don't think Canada significantly fewer of those degenerates per capita than we do.
Yours might be a slightly different flavor, and they not be as emboldened as ours -- but those shitbirds are universal and will absolutely destroy Canada just like the USA if you're complacent.
You're right and that's why I'm mad now, and not after we voted in a dictator. Hindsight and a nickel will get you a cup of jack shit these days it seems.
So is this xenophobia you have or specifically you hate all Americans?
Xenophobia implies a phobia.
I'm not afraid off you, and if I was, I don't think it would be an irrational fear. Generally, on average, if we bell-curve this shit, your're (sometimes) well-meaning idiots with far too much ego and power, who collectively need a serious serving of humble fuckin' pie. Often you're not even well-meaning. Nothing to be afriad of, but a blight to be assiduously avoided for ones own well being and sanity.
As far as hate: I don't hate Americans for being Americans. I can and will also acknowledge we have our share of maple maga; hate filled bigots with a selfish agenda.
Futhermore, this was done to you. Over generations. But you also chose to have it done to you. Over generations.
So: I sure hate the choices you make, but it's not possible to do better until you know better.
Xenophobia does not in fact imply a phobia. It is specifically the dislike or prejudice against those of other countries.
That being said, you're obviously justified in being pissed off at the bullshit going on right now, but that's a very common boomer defense along the lines of "I can't be homophobic cuz I'm not afraid of them I just hate them"
What.
We'd rather it be the other way.
Yeah, because we know they are far better off without us right? ..right?
It’s not really union. More like “guidelines” than an actual union at this point.
I agree with your comments, but please remember their are plenty of Americans that would like their state to become a Canadian province.
America: The only country bad enough to enrage Canadians to the point of making a Scotsman blush.
If Canada joined as multiple states it would be interesting...
Instead of the 51st state, Canada could be 51 states, giving them a majority...
Even just the 10 provinces would be a big change.
I'd prefer we just hold hands. We're not into you that way.
The chosen noun implies usefulness. I feel like we better embody a pimple. Or festering wound. You know, something that actively hurts and tends to spread. Like an overflowing toilet clogged with diarrhea and used condoms.
