    So, just to put this in perspective, since you love your percentages, the New England contribution to the US GDP is 5%. That’s approximately 2 trillion dollars.

    The entire Canadian GDP is 2.51 trillion.

    Adding New England would almost double the Canadian GDP.

    Still unappealing?

      I bet it would be appealing for Canada, but thats not my point. My point is calling 1/20th of the US GDP a “massive portion” is hilariously delusional, and its indicative of how out of touch New Englanders are that they think they are that essential to the country.

      A nickel isnt a “massive portion” of a dollar. Its barely anything by comparison. Canada would double its GDP and the US GDP would hardly blink twice

        Please point out anywhere in this thread where I said “a massive portion”. Don’t drag my argument with you into whatever issue you have with someone else.
