“It’s not unreasonable to think outside of the box,” [Liz] Kreuger [NY 28th District], chairwoman of the [State] Senate Finance Committee, told the outlet.
In September, Kreuger spoke with City and State New York.com about a four-state secession from the union if Trump won, where New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut would join Canada: More
I live in Saskatchewan, the province north of Montana and North Dakota. I would love to see Alberta and Saskatchewan (the 2 oil producing provinces) become 51 and 52 respectively.
Perhaps we can do a trade?
I’ll have to move and I’ll take my family and friends with me. I call BS, they wouldn’t last long without the Federal Government $upporting their foolish thoughts and habits. And they know it.
Instead of trying to leave unilaterally, why not have all the other states vote on whether to keep them or not? They could petition the Union and seek approval to be spun off, either to Canada or as their own nation and everyone in the Union could have a say on their fate.
Sounds insurrectiony to me. Also, just because NYC is irredeemably lost, that doesn’t mean that the entire state of NY is blue.
No, maybe people in the big blue cities are progressive Democrats, but I doubt many people outside those cities are.
And who is the danger to democracy when they threaten to take their marbles and go home if they don’t get what they want?
And should they join Canada, what would they do next October when Pierre Poilievre becomes PM?
Just dissolve the federal government and let thec50 allegedly sovereign states do their own thing. Let’s face it. EVERY election is 50/50. We are AT LEAST 2 nations. The sooner we end this peacefully, the better chance we have of avoiding the massive bloodshed of the INEVITABLE civil War just around the corner. I am a huge supporter of secession. Let’s get it started.
We had a Civil War between 1861 – 1865 to prevent States from seceding from the Union …
They can call the new Province Queerbeckistan
What makes them think Canada even wants them??
Look at the original Constitution and Bill of Rights that represent America.
If that doesn’t suit YOU, then move to the shit-hole country of your choice.
THAT’S what freedom is all about.
Contingent on population balancing. Take off, you library hosers, but relocate conservatives from your states, AND, you take 2 liberals for every conservative you send. win – win
liberal hosers
Nowhere in the Constitution of the United States is secession forbidden and the 10th Amendment specifically states, The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people, Dishonest Abe notwithstanding. So, yeah, they can do it.
That said, I see it as a win-win. We lose tons of Lefties (literally) and the Demos are disembowled by the loss of 4 states while Baby Trudeau gets more mouths to feed.
PS The offense on which the Civil War started was firing on Fort Sumter. Most Americans at the time the first batch of staes were seceding (December 1860) had the attitude, “Don’t let the door hit ya…”.
Please, do it, you assholes. Flood your own new country with the turd world. And we can have a high functioning society instead.
Believe me, Canada does not want any States joining the Dominion, especially NY.
If a State seriously proposed to secede, it would be swamped with lawsuits breaking off counties and towns, splintering the remains.
Why not secede and form a new nation?
Let them do it, but only after they have built a wall…
“Well…..bye”
That is, if Canukistan will have you.
