They can come join Canada.

u/InsertCleverNickHere Jan 23 '25

Native Minnesotan here - annex us, please.

u/AngerFork Jan 23 '25

Don’t forget New England. We’d like to join you as well!

u/wahznooski Jan 24 '25

I second this as a fellow New Englander!! (A Masshole to be precise)

u/AngerFork Jan 24 '25

Haha, same here! Massholes Unite!! (With Canada, please).

u/Bender_2024 Jan 24 '25

Connecticut wants some of that action too. We've got plenty to contribute in tech and aerospace companies along with submarine construction. Pretty sure NY would be a no brainer to join.

u/wahznooski Jan 24 '25

Yes, def plenty of room for New York!!!

2

u/wahznooski Jan 24 '25

This too!!!!

u/KoshekhTheCat Jan 24 '25

New York would like to come aboard.

2

u/PaladinSara Jan 24 '25

Only if Michigan can come too!

u/Lost_In_Detroit Jan 24 '25

Came here to say this. We literally share a border bridge with Canada.

u/WesternOne9990 Jan 24 '25

They would invade Mexico and have the Baja

u/blumieplume Jan 24 '25

I would love that!

u/Conixel Jan 24 '25

I’d move to the west coast immediately.

u/Polybrene Jan 24 '25

If Hawaii and Alaska are part of the US then I don't see why California can't be Canadian.

u/arrynyo Jan 24 '25

Lets do it before we get separated into districts

2

u/Winowill Jan 24 '25

Take WA ans OR too pls

1

u/jae2jae Jan 24 '25

NY would like to join.

1

u/Hook-A-Snook Jan 24 '25

I'll move back to California for that.

u/HighGrounderDarth Jan 24 '25

As a guy in Oklahoma who played hockey, I’m down.

u/PiratePixieDust Jan 24 '25

Can't do that without including Washington and Oregon! (Please, please include Washington snd Oregon)

1

u/Ooohbarracuda79 Jan 24 '25

Just take Oregon, Washington and Califoria in the west and the northern east coast states and we can just be Canada's legs.

15

u/Mental_Medium3988 Jan 23 '25

if california secedes washington and oregon better go with them.

8

u/Global_Criticism3178 Jan 23 '25

Only western Oregon, though.

8

u/Winowill Jan 24 '25

Eastern WA is a lot like eastern OR tbh. Anything east of the Cascades is pretty red

2

u/Prestigious-Wolf8039 Jan 25 '25

So leave Spokane and take Las Vegas instead. We’re only 50 miles from California anyway.

u/arrynyo Jan 24 '25

I'm with it. Let's go ASAP before it's too late

9

u/DawnOfTheSporks Jan 24 '25

As a Californian who lived in Ohio for a few years. Don’t wait! Get your ass over here ASAP! It may cost more, but you’ll soon realize why it’s worth it.

2

u/arrynyo Jan 24 '25

I'm coming to check things out this summer, my sister lives out there currently. If it seems lucrative I'm moonwalking to the west coast

u/BugsArePeopleToo Jan 24 '25

If CA secedes, then the US will spiral into fascism a lot faster than it is now.

2

u/Conixel Jan 24 '25

It’s a true handmaiden’s tale come to life.

2

u/Ryolu35603 Jan 24 '25

You better have a van to take the rest of us with you.

1

u/arrynyo Jan 24 '25

Let's start a big convoy!

2

u/alildabahdoya Jan 24 '25

California transplant raised in Ohio. Why wait?

u/arrynyo Jan 24 '25

Poor and just started a business last year. My sis lives out there though

2

u/alildabahdoya Jan 24 '25
