    Can we split California? Northern Cal just seems like it should be Canadian honestly.

      No way man. We need all of California (where food grows anyway)! Mexico has tons of warm climate agricultural land. Canada has none!

        Tons of agriculture in the northern half of California. I live in Sacramento, it’s like 95% people growing food. Hell, it’s even called the farm to fork capital. We’re a perfect fit for Canada! They can have the south.

              There are rural French speakers all over the country, They’re just a majority in Quebec and parts of New Brunswick and Ontario close to the QC border. My wife’s family is all Francophone from Saskatchewan.

      Aren’t carne asada fries just mexican poutine anyhow?

      You start adding/subtracting ingredients to the fries the further north/south you go until you get poutine or carne asada fries.

    Can we tilt it a bit, maybe let Mexico have Oregon and Idaho and let Canada have Georgia and Florida? Canadians need a place to hit the beach in the winter without needing a passport, and some Mexicans would love to move somewhere where it never got hot. Plenty of Canadian retirees already live in Florida part time.

        And every snowbird employs 20 Latinos who are there year round raising families. South Floridas demographics have higher representation from like 10 other Latin American countries before Mexican though, so maybe it should be it’s own sort of city state with the rest going to Mexico.

      How? On this map, they’re getting Texas and California… two states which each individually have the GDP of a G20 country while Canada only gets one, New York. This map would make Mexico the largest economy in the world.
