New York State Senator Liz Krueger proposed seceding from the U.S. to join Canada, citing shared progressive values to escape Trump’s presidency.
Her plan includes New York and neighboring states forming a new Canadian province. Critics have labeled the idea as extreme and even treasonous.

What’s fat ferd Liz gonna do when the Conservative Party defeats Commie Trudeau in the next election?
MACA, the thing to understand is that Canada is generally so far to the left that the vast majority of Canadians who identify as conservative would, in the states, be somewhere in the centre-left section of the Democratic party.
However, there will be no merger with Canada. The population of New York state, Connecticut, Maine and Massatwoshits is almost the same as the entire population of Canada.
Now, in Canada we have our own so-called Palestinians. We call them the Quebecois or the French but it's the same idea - they believe they're under occupation by English Canada and the only way to keep them quiet is to give them lots of privileges. One is that, no matter how much their population shrinks as a percentage of the total, they get about 25% of the seats in the national parliament. Imagine multiple American states joining. Now they'll be less than 10% of the population but will still want the 25%.
What's more, we have something called "transfer payments". It's a money laundering system where provinces that work hard and make money are forced to send that money to poorer provinces. And again Quebec, despite being a rich province, gets automatic transfer payments on the level of the poorest provinces.
Now imagine the Americans show up and are told that despite doubling the population of the country, their repesentation in parliament will not be 50% but much less and that they will have to shell over billions to Quebec because, well, because it's Quebec.
They'd throw a fit. Canada will never be able to accept these states.
Overly simplistic.
Canadians have been lulled to comatose state through a century of mostly Liberal Gov't & Quebec blandishments.
Canadians are also however rather flimsy.Thus all that's needed is a proactive firm Conservative Gov't & they'll start to change awfully swift.
They must go to the core to have impact: Change the colours of the flag away at least somewhat from Pearson induced Liberal-NDP colours
Quebec also gets 3 seats on the SCC
