Nah. Just say: we changed our minds, the South can secede.

Christ almighty, you Newfies gets yer own country too then.
Someone needs to post this to trump on truth or X or whatever he uses.
I'm pretty sure Nevada and Arizona could still be salvaged.
Populous wise Im curious to see if that just made Canada larger than the U.S.
The GDP is likely equal as well, if not higher in Canada at that point. CA is much higher than TX and NY is still higher than FL.
I mean... Yeah, at this point, any government other than the one running CA is better for CA.

Give Alberta and Saskatchewan to the US.
Let the US keep the eastern third of Washington and Oregon. Canada doesn't really want those people anyway.
I think you will also have to put something in the budget for a naval blockade of New Hampshire, there.

I'm not sure Canadians would want the 6 million Californians who voted for Trump (more than 38% of the voters in the state); or the 3.5 million New Yorkers who voted for Trump (42.7%). Maybe leave the mostly rural areas of the Dem states for Trumpistan?
Also the included states have a larger population than Canada, so it would be Canada joining the Dem states - which I can't see any sane 1st-world country doing.
Letting the Trump states become a country, and the Dem states (sans rural areas) become a different country, seems like it would make both groups vastly happier; tho it would require allowing at least a few years for people to swap states.
From humanist/freedom perspective, the right way to do secession, is first have a state/regional vote, but then allow subregions to also choose to be the exception. The divide in US is primarily Urban/rural. There is the issue that freedom is illusional everywhere including the US. You need to be enslave to the rulership, and not allowed to leave, even if we let Netanyahu pick our leaders through a theater of an election.
New Mexico would like to join this proposal.
Lose the green parts and you’ve got a deal
I for one support Canada as Americas headcrab
A warm Canadian place? Yeah I’d move quick.
I don't want to share the great lakes with USA. Let's compromise and take the rust belt. There won't be enough of them to cause too much issues. Plus then we can get Chicago and Philly too.
the only thing I want is upstate michigan
Looks like I’m moving to NoVa after all
Oh, God....please take Virginia as well! We're mostly progressive!
No you ain't.
I think I speak for all Georgians when I say please include us too (I definitely do not)
I wonder if they could somehow carve out a thin path down to Atlanta and include us. Pls.
They should get Florida too just so there’s this flipped symmetry kind of thing similar to the US + Alaska
We accept Florida only on the condition that you rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of Canada given its new proximity.
