Social media is continuing to rave about Canada’s Green Party leader who mocked Donald Trump’s lack of political knowledge in a recent speech and invited California - and Oregon and Washington - to join Canada as its newest provinces.

Elizabeth May flamed Trump at a recent press conference for his bullying, demeaning suggestion that the Canadian nation would make a “nice 51st state.” She noted: “We do not aspire to be the 51st state ... If it was a joke, it was never funny, and it ends now.”

She called the taunt “insulting” and Trump’s casual suggestion about taking over sovereign nations, including Panana and Greenland astonishing. She suggested instead that it would be an excellent idea for America’s West Coast states to join its welcoming northern neighbor in solidarity. Given California’s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s tense relationship with Trump, it could be tempting.

“Maybe California would like to be the 11th province. How ‘bout it, California? Oregon? Washington? We’ve got geography in common,” she urged.

1. I'd be OK with that, I don't want to live in Moron Zone anymore.

Moron Zone - formerly known as the United States.

2. If that happened, I would definitely consider moving to one of those states!

Seceding from the Union is not so easy, however.

3. Include Mexico

4. I wish people "proposing" this action would also include the blue states

Colorado and New Mexico. Maybe Canada could invade and conquer Arizona to make a connection with the west coast states. Only partially .

5. As a resident of Colorado, and female, that would be fine with me.

6. Absolutely!

I have lived in Colorado all my life and I can tell you for a fact that the people of my state would love to get out from under the impending Trump.2 atrocities. Canada is looking good to us and to our good friends in New Mexico, as well. Viva la Revolution!

8. But I heard

you all were on the border with Mexico!!!!!

9. Poor New Mexico

So far from God, so close to the United States.

7. I live in Oregon

And I approve this plan.

11. I'd be on the next plane to the

West coast if that actually happened.

Become a part of Canada with all it’s beautiful benefits and scenery.

Yup, count me in.

12. Let's go. Good for the economy of Canada too. Win-win.
