     @georgetakei Two hundred years ago, the British showed us how to burn down the White House (🔗https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_Washington)

     @georgetakei Premier Doug Ford threatens to cut off electricity to neighbour states.

     I do not approve of this strategy, but take him seriously - Ford has experience dealing with criminal thugs...

     I want Canada to take the west coast. I can't really pack up and move, but I want to be in Canada cause America is the bad place.

     Simply move... 🤣
     My landlord said that and I ended up sleeping in a vehicle for a fucking year.

     @murdoc @hellomiakoda @georgetakei Except that all the citizens of these new territories could simply move to proviinces before an election and then take over parliament, then making the new territories provinces. After the election they could move back.

     So, you'd pretty much have the same problem, and given that we can't seem to govern ourselves these days ....

     @bzdev @hellomiakoda @georgetakei
     Simply move... then move back? How many of these people do you think have the money to do that for mere political reasons? And the ability to disrupt their lives long enough to make it happen? It's not like we would even have the housing for another Canada's worth of people. To not even mention how badly this would affect the economies of both areas.

     @hellomiakoda @georgetakei The problem with Canada taking over the west coast of the U.S. is that California's population alone is comparable to Canada's, so we'd dominate parliament.

     Meanwhile Trump has a pronoun problem: instead of "they/them" he thinks his are "we/us" (as in the royal "we").

     @bzdev @hellomiakoda @georgetakei
     Easy, just make them a territory instead of a province. Or territories. 😁
