I read this week about a proposal for the whole U.K. to join Canada after Brexit - it would be like a reverse takeover by a former colony - they'd keep the queen since it's technically the ruler of Canada too... That would be a fun scenario to explore
- MagnumOpus 10y agoA fun scenario if you don't live anywhere near Canada or Europe maybe. With their superior numbers, the English voters will quickly overwhelm Canadian elections. They would turn it from a nation that embraces immigration and is socially and environmentally progressive, into a backward country introducing state-funded faith schools, state-endorsed xenophobia and even more short-sighted politicking. Believe me, you don't want to see that.
