    No, they’re not “not sure”, they’re just cowards unwilling to voice their opinion because they know it’s morally objectionable.

    It’s possible many of that 17% are ‘not sure’ because they failed to understand the question and couldn’t be bothered to read it twice. They are Americans.

      So 17% of Americans are our enemy

      The question then becomes: will the other 83% be our ally and stop this 17%?

      Based on the apathy and avarice of your average american that helped put their country in its current state I doubt very much the majority will lift a pinkie.

      They are not even fighting for their own country. They are too busy watching The Burnt Peanut and hiding in their basements which ice will soon be visiting them as well.

      Guess they never heard what happened to people considered dissenters by the Nazi govt during WWII.

      It will be a blanket way of filling Alligator Auschwitz Death Camps at a rate so fast it will make one’s head spin. All it takes is a sniveling ice coward to point and say dissenter! Poof you are detained. Wake up america, your life depends on it.

        The online survey of 1,002 U.S. adults was conducted between Jan. 13 and 15. It found that 66 per cent of respondents want Canada to remain an independent nation

          17% of Americans are uneducated and don’t really know the consequences of war.

            I don’t want them to be Canadian either though. We have enough problems with Alberta. Pulling in any state will be even worse.

              There’s a fair minority in Canada, too. If it wasn’t for the whole 10x our population thing maybe it would be fine.

              California has about the same population all on it’s own. Just the empty part of New England or Hawaii might be a good addition.

                … Well, why don’t you want to be the 11th province.

                Since I know you’re one of the good Americans, it’s not really going to answer the question of how they’d respond, since I’m honestly not sure.

                I’ve had acquaintances actually asked this while down there, I’m not making it up.

                  I’m surprised its not ~30%

                  It seems to be the magic number you can get any survey of US residents to agree to no matter how ridiculous.

                  If you aren’t hitting that number even the crazies think it’s a bad idea.

                      17% is more than one in six. That number sounds uncomfortably high.

                      I know perhaps two dozen Americans who are friends, current and former colleagues, or family. It’s disturbing to think that statistically there are perhaps 3 or 4 that don’t think that the country that I love, that is my home, that has allied with them and sacrificed for that alliance, should exist. That I should bow to their power. It’s psycho shit.

                      Most likely the other half of the roughly 30% of Americans who represent the MAGA coalition think that annexation would be doing us a favour - elevating a bunch of ungrateful socialists to the American standard of living or something like that.

                        But why though? To seize their strategic maple syrup reserve?

                          Oh I don’t doubt that they were asked. Americans of that breed are simple creatures. America good. Elsewhere bad. Why would you NOT want to live in the good place with freedoms and GUNS!?

                          That’s it. That’s literally all the thinking that goes into it. You’re not missing something. They are just extremely stupid and propagandized into believing that the rest of the world is literally on fire and covered in the blood of babies at all moments.

                                  the only thing I like about this is it gives me a better idea on the percentage of nutters. Probably and equal percent are the ones dreadfully afraid the way dems an left talk about taxes and regulation being desperately needed. then figure idiots who are deciding between the the clear and present worst choice and the not great choice to get them over the goal line.
