I’m an hour south of Vancouver and we’re hoping Canada annexes us.

Minnesotan here.
Don't forget us! Half of the population of Canada live south of us as it is; it only makes sense.
Texan. Can we come too?
No. But you could leave Texas and join us here in Progressiveland.
Probably the usual 1/3 of Americans who drink the Trump kool-aid. I live south of the border in New York state, and I've seen no support for that rhetoric. But I actively avoid Trump supporters as I don't have time for that.
I've joked about that sort of thing before, but wouldn't now. I'd assume someone was a weird MAGAt if they were making those jokes unironically. Especially people doing official jobs like border patrol agents, that's messed up.
I live very close to the border, and most people I know are disgusted by the thought that Trump may try to force the issue
I'm sure that has nothing to do with neighboring Alberta, though /j
I live in Western NY, on the shore of Lake Ontario, and I haven't noticed anyone around here talking about annexing anything.
JFC I hope not...
Not common at all. And those border guards are assholes.
I've been back and forth across the USA/Canadian border multiple times in my life, the most recent time was sometime in 2019 (I live further away from the border now, so I haven't been across in awhile). I can say I've only met ONE US border guard that wasn't an absolute power tripping cunt. So yeah. I can imagine one of them making a "joke" like that.
The Canadian guards were always professional, many of them friendly even. Thankfully, I do not see that sort of rhetoric around me where I live in the US, however, I tend to avoid MAGA morons so your millage may vary on that front.
I just crossed the border down from Vancouver a couple times this week and was not treated to such jokes.
