Canada lawmaker suggests letting 3 US states join, get free health care
The comments were responding to President-elect Donald Trump's ongoing suggestions that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state.

California should totally join Canada.
Having similar values, California will finally be able yonreally become what it wants under Canadian law. It being a ginormous economy is nice too for Canada and would just plain bankrupt the US in one go.
They can have Alberta in return if they want
Only if we get autonomy that rivals the Quebecois, after all Canada will benefit far more from California's economy than California will from Canada. Also we demand all the dot CA domains.
Sorry, you only get .ca.ca.
Then we have no deal.
On the flip side...
California subsidizes the shit out of the rest of the USA, and relatively speaking gets less in return. Imagine no longer having to finance just about everything of failed religious states like Kentucky and Mississippi.
Also you wouldn't have to deal with racist religious extremists. Like any country, we have our crazies but we're not even close to the level of the US.
Financially it would be hugely beneficial to California to be part of Canada.
Also, get free healthcare, which is fucking awesome
We can equally share the .ca domains, it's not like there are that many left anyway
California is roughly equal in population to Canada and greater in size economically, this would make any situation where California is under Canada yet another unequal union. I propose that California, Canada, Mexico, and any other liberated states should make the North American Oil and Steel union. Basically get on the path of forming a North American Union.
I get what you're saying, I'm just saying that California under Canada would be off a LOT better than it is currently under the US.
But sure, go at it alone but make some sort of free trade and travel zone at least, ala Schengen in Europe.
The rest of Canada would never have a vote worth anything ever again. California and Canada have about equal populations.
Those are just solutions in waiting, I don't see that as a barrier form California to join
Also, Canada NEEDS more citizens, getting a huge influx of higher educated people isn't a bad deal.
Add the enormous economy and we have a winner
