    Can we split California? Northern Cal just seems like it should be Canadian honestly.

      No way man. We need all of California (where food grows anyway)! Mexico has tons of warm climate agricultural land. Canada has none!

        Tons of agriculture in the northern half of California. I live in Sacramento, it’s like 95% people growing food. Hell, it’s even called the farm to fork capital. We’re a perfect fit for Canada! They can have the south.

      You start adding/subtracting ingredients to the fries the further north/south you go until you get poutine or carne asada fries.

            No.

            The problem is solved by no longer allowing random people to buy heavy weapons. That is legal in the US, still, but with this proposal that would no longer exist

                Yeah, that problem will solve itself over a few years. The combination of ammo and the guns themselves being illegal makes it very hard for anyone but the craziest gun nut to own them.

    Can we tilt it a bit, maybe let Mexico have Oregon and Idaho and let Canada have Georgia and Florida? Canadians need a place to hit the beach in the winter without needing a passport, and some Mexicans would love to move somewhere where it never got hot. Plenty of Canadian retirees already live in Florida part time.

          Won’t be many Albertans. Florida is kind of a pain in the ass to get to from Alberta, and you have to go through Pearson and nobody wants to go through Pearson.

          Albertans are mostly found in Scottsdale. Probably a little swath of the older ones in Palm Springs.

        And every snowbird employs 20 Latinos who are there year round raising families. South Floridas demographics have higher representation from like 10 other Latin American countries before Mexican though, so maybe it should be it’s own sort of city state with the rest going to Mexico.

    Maryland is left out. I was going to ask if they’re going to be the United States. But that’s one state… The One State of America.

      Authentic MexiCan™️ cousine.

      Canadian bacon ranchero breakfast burrito.

      Poutine nachos.

          We eat regular bacon too, but Canadian bacon is back bacon or some shit. Look, it’s fucking witchcraft, OK? But it’s also delicious, so just hush up and sit down. Can I pour you some coffee?

            …only if the coffee’s free trade and from a Canadian company.

                No we have company, no ones feeding them that shit.

                Local coffee it is. The best kind too. Costs me over $50 beaver bucks for a two pound bag, but it’s delicious

    Personally, I’d rather see the map of north America be as colourful as a map of Europe rather then less colourful than it is now.
