Yes, it's true. The Articles of Confederation (1777) explicitly included a clause (Article XI) stating that Canada could join the United States at any time without requiring the consent of the existing states. This reflected the strategic and economic importance of Canada to the early American colonies, as well as the belief that Canadians, particularly in Quebec, might align with the revolutionary cause. However, Canadian resistance to American overtures during the Revolution and the War of 1812 solidified its path as a British colony. Over time, the idea of Canada joining the U.S. faded as both nations developed distinct identities and governance systems. Today, it remains a historical curiosity rather than a realistic prospect.

Heck yes, here we go, this guy gets exactly what I'm talking about. Behind my seemingly immature logic is actually a very interesting strategy. We need to increase the birth rate. For that, we need to increase our appeal to children. That's why all provinces should be cut into cookie shapes.

The maritimes would fit, definitely, you are right, but you are going to have to find a way to drag swipe them down to the south because, they are absolutely 100% the equivalent of our West Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana 😎

THIS. I am in Istanbul Turkey, which is GMT + 3. This means that when it is 12:00 p.m. EST, it is 8:00 a.m. here. GAW MODS DO NOT SLEEP. πŸ’›πŸ‘Œ

What a great comment. Fantastic comment. Except, please reread this comment? Because it only applies, and it is only true, if you restrict everything you said to 30 years ago. Because, for the last 30 years since? None of this is true.

I would be willing to bet that you are more of a gray beard frog, like me, and that you remember the glory days when Canada was respected on some legitimate level on the world stage. Not anymore.

100% agree. And, since we could basically do this with the blank slate, can we use cookie cutter shapes? I want at least three provinces that are shaped like a dinosaur cookie cutter, a star, and a heart. I think Quebec could be the heart, What do you think? Alberta could be like, a T-rex, with a huge tail that goes all the way up through BC and into Yukon, a huge body that would cover Alberta and most of Saskatchewan, most of Northern Manitoba, with tiny little T-Rex arms they would end just outside of Ottawa, implying that if Ottawa doesn't fall into line, we will absolutely fuck them up.

Holy shit I am on a roll, KEK. SOMEBODY ALERT THE TRUMP TRANSITION TEAM TO THIS THREAD πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ’™
