    I kind of want an American to ask me all butthurt why I don’t want to join the US, just so I can use the 11th province line.

      I don’t want them to be Canadian either though. We have enough problems with Alberta. Pulling in any state will be even worse.

          There’s a fair minority in Canada, too. If it wasn’t for the whole 10x our population thing maybe it would be fine.

          California has about the same population just on it’s own. If it was the empty part of New England or Hawaii it might be a good addition.

        … Well, why don’t you want to be the 11th province.

        Since I know you’re one of the good Americans, it’s not really going to answer the question of how they’d respond, since I’m honestly not sure.

        I’ve had acquaintances actually asked this while down there, I’m not making it up.

          Oh I don’t doubt that they were asked. Americans of that breed are simple creatures. America good. Elsewhere bad. Why would you NOT want to live in the good place with freedoms and GUNS!?

          That’s it. That’s literally all the thinking that goes into it. You’re not missing something. They are just extremely stupid and propagandized into believing that the rest of the world is literally on fire and covered in the blood of babies at all moments.
