I should say that this is meant tongue in cheek. Well, maybe a little seriously.

What say you, Canadians? Will you have us? :D

Sorry, but this is about as close to levity as I can get right now.

Hey as long as Catholics are welcome sure I'll join up! Someone should create a flag! :D

You'd probably have to come up with a catchier name to really sell Canadians on the idea, but I like the gist of it...

"The Freakish Looking Nation of Northitude"
It has a nice ring to it.

You know, the individual US states are geographically fairly small compared with most of the Canadian provinces. Do you think that if California, Washington, and Oregon petitioned Parliiament to join Confederation, that we might need to amalgamate them into one province?

We could call it 'Lower British Columbia', or 'Calwashegon', or something...lol

What, no secular Republicans? ;) All Jesusland?

I know it's humor, but it reflects the attitude that lost Kerry this election: disdain for traditionalists in the close states.. we're not all fundamentalist weirdos, and even the actual religious fundamentalists aren't weirdos! :p That said, I'm down with the new map, if you split ex-California North/South.. cause Pepe likes living in So. Cal. nowadays! ;)

You can join us, but you have to leave the death penalty and light beer behind you. So get ready for Medicare and hockey (well at least when the NHL gets back into gear in a year or so). The guns are OK though; just try to keep the drive by’s down to a minimum. At least in Minnesota they’ll have an easy transition to become Canadians. What’s wrong with Alaska, they’d fit in better than you think? Oh and dibs on Hawaii before that darned Jesusland gets any funny ideas.

That and I was shocked to learn that your highest voter turnout was still our lowest. You really need more viable political parties to get people more interested. I have to say that I’m not too keen on the United States of Canada thing, although under your plan Upper and Lower Canada would make a lot more sense than it did historically, I mean people would start referring to us as the US if that happened. I was for a while a big supporter of forming Cascadia or Pacifica to get away from the rest our respective nation.

Alaska voted Republican. That's why it went to Jesusland. Democratopia (how about that for a name?) didn't want it. According to that plan, Democratopia gets Hawaii. ;)

If they figure out that an amount equal to about 25% of what America eats comes from CA they'd never let us go.

I'll endorse Democratopia provided we retain Ottawa as our nation's new capital. Beautiful Parliament buildings. And maybe we could devise a new arrangement for the senate while we're at it.

LOL my lips are sealed

Eeenteresting- seen this map pop up on 4 - very different- sites I access
(Boingboing to here)

-can thoroughly appreciate an atheistic/non fundamentalist Republican's distress - sir/ma'm/other - when I went to school, USA Republicans were not allied with religion (they tended to ally themselves with the Constituition etc.)

As far this rest of the world is concerned - we are wary, leary, unhappy, and very very watchful. This is NOT encroaching of the USA citizens' voting perogative/s - it is because we know you are a big country, and even komodo dragons watch when an elephant has seizures...

Sorry, but this is about as close to levity as I can get right now.
This may sound strange but when I was looking at the EV last night, I thought exactly that. That is about the northern and western states lumping in with Canada.

Why these half measures? It's about time we admitted our collective mistakes, and rejoined the British Empire. Huzzah!

I think this is a true win/win siutation......when do we sign you up?

well as long as Oregon doesn't get the short end of the stck, thats fine by me

Um, Impunia - even lil'ol' Noo Zealand is set to become a republic quite soon-
and we ceased to be anything but a a self-governing dominion a long looonnng time ago- but it's really great to see Huzzah!written down again -
time for Guy Fawkes huzzah ! ( We still let off fireworks tomorrow but we just call it Bonfire night now
, and associate it with coming summer-)

I think CA goes all or none. L.A. certainly doesn't belong in Jesusland, and I'm quite happy here myself.

I've been to L.A. and if Jesusland doesn't want it, maybe Mexico would. I'd just as soon not do the L.A. thing.

You realise that once you declare independence from the US and join Canada, you will be bombed with depleted uranium and your families raped in some filthy prison? Bush doesn't have it quite for diplomacy and such. And Alaska bares oil, so Jesuslovers will never let you have that piece of black gold.

NO, it would be OK 'cos Bush doesn't know where Canada is. After all, he thought Iraq was in Europe. :p

weird how the word 'Jesuslover' sounds kinda...dirty, if you know what I mean.

Oooh you are gonna get so flamed! :p

more than likely, but if it comes at me in 200 point-high red comic sans font, I'll know it's just Iakeokeo looking for trouble...

This looks like a good idea, but didn't those peacenik Northerners kill a lot of people last time anyone tried this?

You forget D.C. comes with us. So you will have to move the capital, by the time you get that accomplished our war machines will be in motion. Lets see how America does in a war without California, Illinois, New York, and D.C., you will be an economic wreck.

This is precious. I'm loving it, lets do it! :D

I still say the new capital should be Ottawa. We can use D.C. for photo ops, inaugurals, etc.

Yeah but the true purpose behind that war was to end slavery. If us northerners were to secede now and wanted slavery you could invade but last time I checked we don't allow it.

Post-secession: Wait a few decades and Jesusland's reactionary policies will result in it's fantastic collapse.

Never been to Ottawa but Toronto's good - or make it Vancouver. Most of LA is already there, making TV and movies!

Pity calling it "Jesusland" though, seeing how extremely anti-Jesus most conservative christians in America are.

Can you think a more fitting name to represent the Land of Hypocrisy?

Give it time--the fundamentalist psychos (you're right--they're not weirdos, they're just nuts) are quickly taking over your party, and they'll toss you out if they get the chance.

Well, Jesus wasn't a hypocrite in my eyes. Still, I can appreciate the concept of "Jesusland" as being sadly ironic.

I wasn't calling Jesus a hypocrite, and I don't think he was.

So should it be pronounced 'Jeez-us land' or 'Hay-zeus land'?

You seem to be taking this "we're gonna secede" thing a wee bit too seriously.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, then.

Ditto re: levity.

Hey, I gotta problem with that map!

Why is the entire northern east coast of the former United States green? They were all democratic!

Jesusland conquered them! Noooo!

Knock it off or I'll knock you out of the forum.

No, you should let the door hit your ass on the way out, it'll provide that short sharp sting that'll remind you that this ain't no dream, baby. You're moving on up - to the north side,

To a deee-luxe lil' country (and gettin' high-igh-igh)

You're movin' on up - to the north side,

You'll eventually scratch your head and won-der why!

Pierre Berton in his kitchen,

Baking hash brownies on the grill,

Watching CNN for the bullshit,

Rolling down Capitol Hill,

Now you're up in a new league,

Forgettin' all of that strife,

Marry your sweetie, whatever sex they prove to be,

Take turns being husband and wife!

'Cause your moving on up,

To the north side,

You'll eventually scratch your head and wonder why-y-y-y-y-!

(why you didn't do it years ago, that is.)


LOL

Welcome to flavour country.

Would that be Smoky Maple Flavour, or mock-Jesus flavor?

You, my friend, have a very skewed concept of what will happen. If seccesion occurs, there will be civil war. Then, I think basing your capital on a 10 square mile (or so) patch of land deep in enemy territory is a bad tactic. Assuming any of this actually occurs, D.C. belongs to Jesusland. The Democratopia simply won't be able to hold the position.

DC wouldn't be in "enemy territory". Maryland voted Democrat. It would be on the border with the enemy.

You guys are more than welcomed.

Just be prepared for higher taxes, GST, PST, the crappy winters and the Quebecers...

Other than that, Canada is a grand ole place.

I should say that this is meant tongue in cheek. Well, maybe a little seriously.

Alright, we'll take you americans in, but you have to do all the hard labour and scrub our toes, and the name won't work, we have provinces, not states.

No such thing as a crappy winter.

It forgot The Various City-States of Get Us The Hell Out Of Here.
In other words: Brownsville, Laredo, El Paso, Sante Fe, Douglas, Denver, St. Louis, Kansas City, Albuquerque, Pine Bluff, Des Moines, Miami, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Las Cruces, Beanfort, ect., ect.

Lol, even if it was just the West Coast and the Northeast seceded and became a separate country on their own, they could still pwn Jesusland with or without Canadian support.

At least we wouldn't alienate Canada :P
