A Democrat state lawmaker in New York is calling for a coalition of northeast states to secede from the Union and join Canada because President-elect Donald Trump is returning to the White House.
State Sen. Liz Krueger (D-28), who is also floating a scheme to withhold upwards of $300 billion in federal taxes, defended her ideas in a conversation with Politico. “It’s not unreasonable to think outside of the box,” Kreuger, chairwoman of the 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:

Sounds like a win-win situation, the United States loses a bunch of liberals, and Canada gains a bunch of liberals... Of course such a move would probably prompt Alberta to ask to join the United States, which makes it a fair trade.

When Texas talks secession, liberals scream treason and racism while clutching their pearls and retiring to their fainting couches.

Her head is an empty box; she is brainless. On the other hand, I bet some Canadian provinces would like to become American States.

One qualification: New York, as an example, would want the WHOLE State to secede. Let the decision be made county by county and see what happens.
If they did that, they'd either shut up or not be missed.

The last time I spoke to Canadians (worked for same company), they all said that whenever they had a serious health condition, they traveled to America and paid for their care out-of-pocket...because the Canadian socialistic system was so slow and inefficient that it virtually guaranteed that they'd die before getting the care they needed.

They would never be missed. And they'd increase the population of Canada by over 50%.
Never going to happen, unfortunately.

I think they should as long as Canada pays a huge price and central and northern CA can leave CA and become their own State(s), parts of Oregon and Washington can move to Idaho, southern Illinois can leave and become their own State. This Country needs a political realignment. The end result is that we would get rid of 3 lib states that hate the US, and the people on the western states would finally have a voice in how they are governed.

NY State Sen. Liz Krueger (D-28) is unclear on the concept of freedom and/or liberty. Beam her up, Scotty.

The funny thing about this is that Canada is fed up with Castro's son and will soon have elections. Pierre Poluvier (forgive the misspelling) is conservative like Trump. We need to do this fast and have a "no take back paragraph" in the transfer doc.

So the Canadians want any of these fools as citizens of their country. Anyway the South tried seceding from the country and that didn't end well for them. They ended up with all those Damn Yankees there.

The person who wrote The Constitution of the United States, President James Madison, was a genius. He provided the details on how to join The Union but no details on how to leave. So once you're in you can't ever get out. You can divorce your partner, abandon pets and children, etc. But once you join The Union you ain't going no place. We've got you sucker.

All the lie-berals in those states are welcome to go to Canada permanently!!!
But the land stays, and can be shared among all of the conservatives left behind!!!!!
