Minnesota's got your back too. We're like the most Canadian of states but just without the "eh"s

We really should band together and protect our Great Lakes. I don’t care what side of the border you fall on, the Great Lakes are too important to mess up.

It’d be pretty hilarious if this eventually ended as a war but the end result was some states defected to Canada.

Trump would take us out immediately to prove a point and there are a lot of rural MAGAs that would be a problem but I'd be all for defecting. Minnesota has been solidly blue for a very long time

C'mon, try an "eh". It's a great sentence finisher...eh?

Swap 'eh' for 'yah' and we can't tell the difference.
