literally the same culture and level of muttness, same history, same territory... Just give quebec their independence, we assimilate you and puerto rico and there you go, 60 stars on the flag and literally everybody wins.
Leafs get: >an actual flag >less bullied for being irrelevant >better prices >the opportunity to become part of an actual nation and not a joke like "canada" is >people a thousand years from now seeing you as a citizen of the greatest country on the history of humanity instead of a side-character. The we wuzzers from 3000 will trace their heritage back to you and be proud of it.
we'd get: >even better prices
Just stop acting like a bunch of hipsters and assimilate as soon as possible you bunch of pussies.
