    I, for one, would like to become part of Canada. Pennsylvania (and the rest of the northeast) isn’t that awful, it’s once you get south of the Mason-Dixon or west of the Mississippi (and before you hit the coastal states) that the country gets really awful and backwards, surely Canada would be able to tolerate us. They tolerate Quebec, anyways.

      my black friend is not enjoying her life since she moved to Pennsylvania and having family from there I’m not shocked. a predominantly black or Latino area in the south beats Pennsylvania by a long shot.

        See I’d always been told/had heard in passing it was the residents of Quebec that other Canadians found the most… shall we say contentious, but I’ve also heard plenty about Danielle Smith and her Trump sycophancy shitfuckery the past few years. Is Quebec no longer considered the red-headed stepchild of the provinces?

          This is my own opinion so someone may have proof and an argument otherwise.

          Québec has always had a bit of unique relationship with the rest if Canada, largely due to the language difference and the French identity around that. It’s different than somewhere with French roots, you cross the border and it is adamantly French. While there are certainty people in the province that have the average Canadian level of French (almost none) there is a large population with the opposite (minimal to no English). Stats Canada would probably have the exact numbers. I personally felt Québec (as a province/politically) was more the sibling that considered themselves enlightened, but came across as somewhat pretentious. However, tRump 2.0 did something completely in expected. With the ongoing sovereignty threats to Canada Québec took a slide towards Canada.

          Alberta (province/politically) is just delusional and needs medical assistance.
