One in five Americans (20 per cent) polled by Leger this week say they would like their state to join Canada, more than double the proportion of Canadians who said they would like their country to become the 51st state of the United States. Article content

“Only 9 per cent of Canadians believe it is likely that Canada will become the 51st U.S. state. By contrast, 20 per cent of Americans would like their state to join Canada and become a Canadian province, a proportion that is higher among respondents aged 18 to 34 (30 per cent),” reads the new Léger report.

    Had this thought in Michigan last week when riding my bike in just-above-freezing air on a trail and seeing trees tapped for maple syrup. I bought a bottle of Canadian sparkling water, too. If the state is not Canadian, why mitten shaped?

    If I weren’t ~200 miles away with only a bike (and most of that is not bike-friendly) I’d definitely be like

    which is realistic

    because I know they wouldn’t (health/money). Even if I could get an ID then passport, I am not social enough to get sponsored.

    Can’t they just take my brain for science instead?
