    We don’t want them. They’ll just bring their brand of crazy to our politics and culture.

    Yes, even the “blue” states. Americans have no idea how far their concept of “centrist” is from the Canadian concept of “centrist.”

      That’s why we want to join Canada. There are people who live in the US that know how far right America is (and don’t like it).

      I live in MN. And I think I would align fairly well with Canadians. Much better than anyone in southern states for example.

        Individuals joining is fine, that’s what the immigration process is for. What I’m opposing is the indiscriminate admission of entire populations that do not align with Cansdian values.

        For example, Minnesota barely passed some weak gun control legislation recently. How ready are they for the 2nd Amendment to be just gone? How keen would they be to have King Charles as their head of state? I think a lot of the people who say they’re for joining Canada haven’t considered all of the implications.

        Minnesota does seem like one of the saner places in the US, but that’s relative to the US.

      The sentiment is probably related to escaping that politics and culture.
