We should annex Big Sur and throw the rest back.

I doubt Californians would go for that. Plus the new republic would probably possess a few nukes. You might wanna play nice with it.

Besides, if we ended up sharing a common citizenship, sure some Californians would move North, but they'd be moving back after their first winter. No worries.

I have earned my living by manufacturing for over thirty years, continuing tomorrow morning and I've hardly ever been busier. The only time that it went for a shyte, was when I worked for a US owned and based company that was incompetently led by a crook very much like Trump. I landed with a parachute and hit the ground running.

If Canada acquired a state or two from the U.S. it could be of benefit. Wouldn't it help us become more powerful? Maybe not by much but bigger is better sometimes. I like our Canada but am not opposed to growth.

Yes and to this I say no effing way, although I am partial to Hawaii becoming part of Canada as opposed to those weed infested Turks and Cacos that nobody else wants.


Imagine the steady stream of people sliding up the West coast. How about giving California back to Mexico.........


Canadians are inviting people in the United States Pacific coastal states of California, Oregon and Washington, where United States President-elect Donald Trump lost heavily to his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, to secede from the US and join Canada.

“Dear California, Oregon, Washington – I’m sure we can work something out if you want to join Canada,” Chad Harris, a reporter from Kamloops, British Columbia, tweeted.

“California, Oregon, Washington, I, for one, will accept you with open arms into the liberal bosom of Canada,” Alex Middleton of Calgary, Alberta agreed.

“Now is the time for Canada to prepare to add 3 provinces, Washington, Oregon and California,” fellow British Columbian Craig Heber from Tofino shared the sentiment. “Guaranteed means to grow economy would be adding the sixth largest economy in the world to ours.”

Some extended the invitation to Nevada, also won by the Democratic candidate.

“To the west coast of the United States, if you want to you can all become Canadian Provinces, since you voted closer to the experiences we have as Canadian,” Calgarian Andrew Mercier said in a Facebook post. “Therefore WA, OR, NV, and CA you are now provinces, also bring all the goodness that you have to us!!!”

Others want Hawaii, another so-called “Blue State” and outgoing President Barack Obama’s birthplace, to become a Canadian province.

“Dear USA west coast – Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii – come and join Canada, we’d welcome you!,” Torry Courte, a musician and songwriter from Vancouver, British Columbia, tweeted.

“California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii,” Rick Spence from Toronto, Ontario, tweeted. “Don’t bother to count the votes. Join Canada. Just try us out for four years.”

How do the disgruntled voters in the West Coast states feel about joining?

Douglas Cole of Beaverton, Oregon, summed up the feelings of many shocked West Coasters in a humorous open letter.

“These days I love daydreaming about Washington, Oregon, and California all ceding from the US and joining Canada,” Scott Dixon of Mercer Island, Washington, posted on Facebook. “Besides that this would form a country that had one of the largest economies in the world (California is #6, Canada is #8 by GDP), it certainly seems like the American West coast has more in common with British Columbia then it does Idaho, Utah, and Arizona (In my daydream Nevada also cedes but becomes it’s own mad-max themed nation-state).”

“Hey Canada, I have a proposal for you,” Dave Lewis, of San Francisco, California posted on Facebook. “I say we take Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii, combine them with Canada and make one amazing country. Lots of new coastline. Who’s in?”

“Dear Mr Trump, I’ve figured it out,” Patrick Heffernan of San Diego, California posted. “End the deficit by selling Washington, Oregon, and California to Canada. We don’t mind.”

A merger with the Pacific states would more than double Canada’s population from 35 million to 83 million, while tripling the GDP from US$ 1.5 trillion to US$ 4.5 trillion.

Washington and Oregon maybe since they both log. Definitely don't want California. Too many weirdos there. Also the state is broke. Give it back to Mexico.

True and we (Canada) need to focus on getting out of our own debt and recovering from the recent oil drop. However... Broke or not I wouldn't mind being able to vacation in a warmer climate without worrying about a passport. Just sayin.

Listen to all the racist whiners who don't want to go to, or be part of Mexico. "Waaaah, our President elect is a racist. Let's relocate to another predominantly White country because we're not a bunch of racists".

What does colour have to do with it? Canada is a better country. Stop being so racist

Actually, thinking about it, if Canada did get California the rules of their senate would become null and void as it would then be ruled by our government. The reason they are broke is because of poor leadership and their proposed elected statutes. Once they are ruled under a different Country / legislation all previous laws become void and re-ruled under the new Countries laws. At least that's what I understand to be true. So if that is the case, we would have the power to change their bills and lesson the deficit.
