      As an American I have a positive image of Canada, they’re the closest thing we have to a sibling in my mind. And if the providences ever wanted state hood I’d support them joining, but I’m sure a lot of Canadians would take exception to that.

        Our state is Canada, if we were to join then it would be one state

        Just like how your states joined, the German states joined together to form Germany, and the European states joined the EU
