    If you go by recent province/state wide election results:

    Alberta, Saskatchewan and probably Manitoba go to Jesusland.

    … And Colorado and New Mexico, and Illinois become exclaves like Kaliningrad.

    CO+NM is exceptionally fucked because its landlocked, and almost in a Lesotho situation (being wholly surrounded by a single other country) were it not for Mexico…

    Though I guess Illinois would not be much better off as Jesusland would likely claim it owns all of Lake Michigan beyond 50 miles of Illinois’ shore.

    And Virginia actually went for Harris, so that’s also part the United States of Canada.

      Actually, only 19% of Albertans would want to join the US according to this poll . I’m surprised too. It really looks like these people are a loud minority. Or that at least being more conservative doesn’t necessarily mean wanting to become part of the US.

          I want the Albertan’s who want to join the US to GTFO and go to the US, but no, I don’t want to split the country in two.

      Last election turnout was heavily influenced by Netanyahu. Swing states in general are more open to better options than Trump, that Harris just failed to impress. Trade with Canada important to all of them.
