        The upper midwest and ontario would be a good new country. Chicago to minnesota to michigan, all of michigan, huron, and superior.

          You understand a big problem Canadians have with Americans, is that even when you disagree with your “leader”, you’re still talking about carving up our country.

          You know we find that incredibly disrespectful, right?

            Pfft. Coming from the country whose geese flout our border controls with impunity, fake voting too I’m sure. Then you send all your lousy smokey air down here? Enough is enough. Build the Wall! Build the Wall! Build the Wall!

          It would have been a great country had it gone that way, and should Canada destabilize like the US maybe, but they’ve been pretty clear that they like being a whole country, and Ontario didn’t join us in the 18th century, and they’re unlikely to join up with some of us in the 21st. Also they definitely wouldn’t want Indiana. That said the upper Midwest (Ohio to Minnesota, maybe even transappalacian Pennsylvania) would make for a pretty good country to be a close ally of canada

            I am 100 percent in agreement in leaving out Indiana. I would leave out ohio too, or just the northern third of illinois, indiana, ohio, and pennsylvania.

            Because the south of those states are more confederate in nature. Idk pennslyvania though most is more eastern seaboard, the ne corridor cpuld be a couple countries, new england then ny to dc.

      How about you guys get your house in order, fix your stupid gun laws, and then we can talk about something like North American Schengen. Quebec City to Chicago in high speed rail sounds like fun, you know?

        That sounds lovely and like something I have argued for for my entire life and will continue to argue for. It’s currently unclear if the US will splinter, but I dream of a day when high speed rail can take someone from Vancouver to Mexico City
