I don’t want our good name on that shithole.

[–] Spider89@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

I'm US and I agree.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 45 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Technically, territories don't count as provinces so that would make it the 11th.

Or rather 4th territory since the US has demonstrated it can't be trusted with full self governance for at least a few decades. Call it the "South Territory".

Give Puerto Rico provincehood though. They’ve earned it.

Okay, hear me out on this one...

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 32 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Hmm, what if we rotated the lines 90* and consolidated the number of stripes and maple leaves:

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 weeks ago

That’s better

Is that the Tim Horton's flag?

[–] AzuranAurora@piefed.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Tim Horton's flag contains a massive rainforest?

[–] AzuranAurora@piefed.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah, I'm referencing the fact that Tim's is owned by a Brazilian company and not a Canadian one and hasn't been Canadian in years.

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, I had no idea!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Is Brazil tim Hortons?

Uhm no fucking thank you? I dont want to be associated with that shitshow in any way. They absolutely do not qualify to be anything-canada until they get their shit together. Maaaybe 'worse-canada'. But honestly I'd prefer if they just kept our name out their mouth.

Lower Canada also works 🤪

[–] randy@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

But what about second Lower Canada?

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Canada's pants. Because its where the giant pussy is.

14th and 15th. I'm not sharing a province with Utah

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It'll be a cold day in hell before I recognize Missouri

[–] joenforcer@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Funny, I feel this way about the entire American South.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

there is at least one good barbeque joint in the american south, we can gerrymander this border so we don't have to cross it for good food or offend our delicate sensibilities.

We don't want it.

As a Minnesotan, we're the only south Canada and I'll apologize passive-aggresively to anyone that disagrees.

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Born & raised in the N Midwest, and one of the running "jokes" re: Canada was that the US'd annex it as soon as it ran outta trees/maple syrup/flannel/etc. 🙄 Buncha sub-literate mouthbreathers, those "role models", eh?

It'd be a territory.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 7 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Hard no from me. Should be North Mexico. Official name Democratic People's Republic of Mexico, or DPRM for short.

[–] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I think Canada and Mexico should split America. Mexico takes the south west, Canada takes the north, Hawaii becomes independent and the south east can be renamed "The Union", which consists of all the worst parts of what was America, just like they want.

I'm ready to sing Oh Canada

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Gotta learn it's "O Canada", and then gotta learn the French version as well ("Ô Canada"). The anthem was actually commissioned by the Governor General of Quebec :)

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm ready to yell Go Banana!

[–] bookmeat@fedinsfw.app 4 points 2 weeks ago

Please let this be true.

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

I propose; Mexico's greasy toupee

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Canada is more likely to build a wall.

[–] swagmoney@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

it would be too dang long. what a waste of money and resources. how bout you hang your current administration, and replace them with civilised people. no wall needed.

I want to update my passport to say South Canada.

[–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Let's go!!!

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

South Canadian here. Can I get a little help rejoining the human species, please? This specific province is infested, rotting, and toxic in nearly every conceivable way. I'd much prefer to reside in an actual civilization, if that's alright. Please.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 weeks ago

Don’t threaten me with a good time.
