The online survey of 1,002 U.S. adults was conducted between Jan. 13 and 15. It found that 66 per cent of respondents want Canada to remain an independent nation
17 percent of Americans need lobotomies.
They seem to be way ahead of you
Yeah lobotomies are redundant for those morons.
God no. Please Canada, don’t join us! We are a dumpster fire right now. If we try yo gorce you, fight us!
wait. Can I help? for. uh. citizenship?
No no no. Don’t come TO America! If I could, I’d be LEAVING America!
Imagine if you will, them coming here. And “here” becoming canadian.
minus all the fuckers. you know the ones.
Wait, it’s actually that low? I would have thought it’d be at least 25%.
Based on some quick, small, online survey by some random website. Uh huh.
I can only assume this 17% want to because they’re just parroting their Dear Leader.
Any same person would ask “why?”
I’m betting at least 10% would have trouble finding Canada on a globe. At least 5% would have trouble finding Canada on a map of North America.
Well of course they do. Its just so unfair that Canadians get public health care, parental leave, good public education, no school shootings, and better treatment of citizens. Why should Canadians have a better lifestyle than american slaves?
Canadian here: FUCK. OFF.
American here - I wish we would
Canada can easily kick that 17% of the US’ ass, especially given all the infighting an invasion of Canada would cause.
Fuck it, those Americans really should come here and say that. See what happens.
Even if 100 percent of then wanted to they still wouldn’t have a moral claim over it.
I dunno. Seeing as they have a large region there that shares a name with my tribe. Where many used to live. Maybe they could let a few of us in.
Do you think you’ll enter with the same rights you have now or the same rights they have. Or will you have a much lower, second class or third class rights.
Hard to say. As let’s be clear here, Canada has had just as problematic a past with first nations. And are currently dealing with their own fascist insurgence. But when the time comes. Dying to fascists leaves you with zero rights.
Sounds like you’re an expert in these matters
Oh, Hell no, just a pragmatist looking and taking stock of all their options in the face of an oncoming shitstorm. Chances are I’m going to stick it out here with family.
Isn’t that what the Jay Treaty is for?
Heh don’t know, but I should probably check.
And those 17% couldn’t find Canada on a map if their lives depended on it.
The percentage of Americans– actually humans in general– who’re are just utterly irredeemably idiotic is above 17% in my estimation. So coming in less than that is a win in my book.
It’s about 40%, ie the amount of people who still approve of and would vote again for Trump, even after hiding his Epstein stuff, the warmongering, the scams and theft, the cuddling up with Russia etc etc.
i think 20% probably are irredeemably stupid, another 20% could have been lifted up by better education and parenting.
I agree with you (20>17, as I suggested) but I honestly like that you put an optimistic spin on the rest.
That 17% is just the people who whole-hog wanted to annex Canada. There’s an additional 16% that didn’t care enough to have an opinion on it.
Is 1 in 3 more along the lines of what you were expecting?
Psychopaths
17% feels about right in my subjective experience.
17% of Americans can throw themselves directly into a volcano.
pretty sure they’d need assistance on that, so, eh. you know.
You think one of those rascal scooters could make it to the summit?
nope. they’re gonna have to hire sherpas or something.
I bet I could find some folks willing to do it for free out of the goodness of their hearts.
“I don’t want muh tax dollars going to foreigners!”
I have a feeling many of them would miss.
After they’ve fucked themselves with a cactus
*percent.
That’s the American spelling. Canadian English more often uses “per cent”, like British English. But perhaps that was your point.
Is it bad if I want Canada to annex Minnesota? (where I happen to live.)
Fugly Grey Duck
Yeah, I don’t entirely object to the reverse (as long as California is adopted into the family), but making Canada part of the US? No thank you. Fucking crab bucket mentality; can’t let other people have nice things.
Let’s respect the borders! Northern States for Canada, Southwest States for Mexico 😁
🤔🤔🤔 And Florida for Cuba 😁😁😁
What has Cuba done to deserve that kind of punishment?
I said Florida, not Floridians😁😁😁
I’m sure they can work something out.
As a Canadian I like visiting Minnesota and it feels like a real shame not to be able to visit there right now because of all the fascism. I think many Minnesotans would fit in quite well among Canadians. But there are also some horrible reactionary elements there. Perhaps persuade them to move to Texas first.
Let’s just tell them all that Canadian electricity will make their kids gay.
Or maybe we blame all that fresh air you send our way.
