Here comes "freedom"
"It'll be our beautiful 51st state!"
🎃
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.
Please do, I would rather be Canadian these days.
A few more states would be happy to join I'd say.

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.
For sure. That said PR isn't a panacea. It solves a legitimate issue but it doesn't solve the orthogonal and serious problem of democracy's tendency to represent large capital.
Ugh. Try living here!
One can only hope. Just think of it as a renovation project.
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!
They can just own it like a colony. All the control, none of the financial responsibility.

We need a government with the balls to nationalize this shit, and charge for every single gram that's being extracted. And do the same with every other natural resource, including oil.
Oooooh, best we can do is let corporations rape and pillage the land, and make citizens pay for the whole operation through taxes, sorry.
Don't forget about the cleanup after they're gone.
Right right right, thank god the peons will pay for that too! Can't hold anyone accountable now, can we?
They won't leave. It's inexhaustible. Best learn to live with the pollution!
It’s trickle out economics.
Trickle down economics, because they're pissing on you.
"Inexhaustible"
Humans: hold my beer
It's funny cause it's true. Trump wants to invade Greenland and Canada; it's not just because he's a piece of shit dictator. He's after resources for his cronies.
Wouldn't wonder if the US discovers tomorrow that Canada is run by a drug cartel
Great! Let’s sell this off to multinationals ASAP so we can accelerate pillaging the land without consultation, outsource the jobs and ensure the fewest Canadians benefit from the windfall.

Ah! Someone who's familiar with Alberta oil & gas extraction.
…AND BC lumber, AND Ontario steel, AND maritime fish, AND everybodies’ water and minerals, etcetc
I call it “outsourcing profits”.

Incoming reclassification of maple syrup as a WMD.
“This ‘syrup’ comprises a clear and present danger to the United States of America. Operation ‘Freedom Fries’ has been authorised!”
Are you folks interested in some freedom!?
Asking for your neighbors to the south.
/s, just in case it wasn't obvious.
I know there's been lots of headlines in the past like OMG there's not enough lithium! It's never been true.
It's one of the most abundant elements out there, it's everywhere. It was always more about what reserves we knew about, but when what we knew about wasn't going to be enough, people go looking, and it's abundant.
Also the more uses there are for it, the more profitable it is to extract from these methods and the better we get at it, the cheaper it is to extract, which further opens up even more options.
I don't actually remember any articles that claimed there were lithium shortages in that there isn't enough on the planet, but rather that China is the only country with a working supply chain.
It’s one of the most abundant elements out there
I mean, it's not. Either in the crust or the universe - stellar nucleosynthesis skips straight to carbon.
Your point still stands, though, since abundance is only one of the factors that goes into how easy something is to recover.

“Almost inexhaustible”
Humanity: Hold my beer.
America: “That’s ours! We called it!”
Don't tell trump
That potential would place Cisco among the largest hard-rock lithium prospects now being tracked in the James Bay region.
That's way less impressive than the headline makes it seem.
I hope y'all don't mine it with child and slave labor like everywhere else.
This isn’t the fascist states of america.
Lol yeah but it's still a capitalist system, bud.
That's right, we got that sweet cheap desperate-educated-foreigner-being-paid-peanuts labour instead
We have significant lithium mines in Australia, we produce the most lithium in the world presently. Zero child or slave labour.
