    I only hear Americans pitching this idea. Canada doesn’t want any of the states haha

      I’m Canadian, I don’t hate the idea.

      In any case, it’s clear that the USA is less “United” these days… It’s more just … The States of America now.

        There’s like a lot of shitty people even in those states. I love Washington but no thanks.

          Wouldn’t need to stick exactly to the current state boundaries. Trim off the eastern parts of some of those states on the west coast. And get enough territory to fully encircle the Great Lakes, extended enough to include Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, all of Michigan, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and parts of upstate New York.

          Idk. I haven’t met enough people from any of these states to have an opinion.

            Well just look at how many of them voted for trump. People in canada would have never voted for that.
