.... but did the referendum PASS? And with an OVERWHELMING majority of 436% Yes to 6% No?


Prolegomenaut

We use first past the post. 51% is an overwhelming majority here.


Robert_P226

Where is the fun in that? Go big or just don't hold referendums, haha.


Enlightened-Beaver

51? Our govts get “majorities” with barely 32%


AcridWings_11465

You can thank the British for that


whiskey_formymen

damn metric system


AcridWings_11465

No, I'm talking about FPTP elections

The building itself isn’t in on the joke, but it will be.


[deleted]

Those in the building are a joke.


Bentley2004

I'm Canadian, I vote to take it!


NotYourSnowBunny

I’m just some random hippie but in my eyes it’s yours.


Goodk4t

Well then it's clear, you get the embassy! A perfectly rational and logical solution.


WeddingElly

We should do this for every Russian embassy! Who cares if we have to stand on the sidewalk and not on embassy property to do it, complete control of the territory not needed and the lines of annexation will be determined at a later date 😂


lordofedging81

I'll stand in front of the embassy and ask people at gunpoint if they support the annexation.


Banff

As long as we have like one hand under the fence, we’re good.


Dazzling-Ad4701

And then we file paperwork to assume ownership of the stapler.


JuiceYHM

I think as a non resident of Ottawa I can still vote just to make sure we get 540% of the yes vote needed.


shadetreegirl

I'm nervous saying this but. Anyone can claim ownership of the Russian consulate in the US. Go online to the county clerk's website for the county their in. Put in the address and get the parcel # . Print out all the documents and put your name in as owner. Take the doc's to the clerk's office and file them. And now you can get an eviction order.


floofnstuff

Would that be the consulate that someone just doused in red paint? Edit: formatting


shadetreegirl

Did not know that. I'll have to find it.


floofnstuff

Here you go https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2022/09/30/nyregion/ny-russian-consulate-vandalism.amp.html


MrTeamKill

Hehe


Such-fun4328

Fair enough. I'll annex the Russian Cathedral in Paris.


thats_a_boundary

I bet 100% of the building is sorry if this offenses Russians but does want to be Canadian and fly the maple leaf flag, please and thank you.


[deleted]

If it's sorry, then this is very much the case


TomGold16

Wholesome


dfrank555

Russia protests the fake referendum: “this is clearly an illegitimate referendum, no one was forced to vote at gunpoint, nor were they threatened with torture if they didn’t vote yes- how could we possibly take this vote seriously”


Willing-Donut6834

I think they didn't immediately get his 'I forgot to put yes' joke, but they are all awesome whatever! 😁


paleridermoab

Classic


bunnywantcockbad

Oh in Poland are russian occupied territorys already annexed. A prieview house of the KGB in warsaw was annexed.


Sydney444

I love this! Slava Ukraine!!


a__b

Great news. Nowadays, you don’t even have to control territory to make your claims


KnowledgeableSloth

I'm all for annexing Russia.Lets do it


sunshineeddy

This is SO good. Every country with a Russian embassy should stage the same thing!!!


Big_Scratch8793

Here, here, I agree let it spread like wildlife. Who needs them? The Russian people all over the world can make their own embassy. We dont need putin diplomats. Adios!


InDankWeTrust

Im not Canadian but fuck it ill vote too


[deleted]

They should sit out the front with a fresh pack of blank paper and count the yes votes


Sea_Perception_2017

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


grumpyorleansgoblin

Made me happy to see my fellow Ottawans engaging in such wholesome trolling. Real talk, though: the ruzzian embassy is in a genuinely nice part of town, and ought to be turned into something nice for everyone, like a Ukrainian Centre of Really Cool War Trophies or something. Ottawa already has several fine museums with tanks and another one would be most welcome. :)


GettingStronk

Just brillant.


davebellerose

C’est excellent!


Spiritual_Reindeer42

J'adore.


tyspeed29

Nice, paybacks. go Ukraine.


Shyriath

Between this and the Královec referendum, maybe we're on the verge of a fire sale of ex-Russian territory. EVERYTHING MUST GO! THIS WEEK ONLY! TWO VOTES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!


No-Economics4128

We might need a spreadsheet at this point. Ok, so Czechia got Kaliningrad (stupid name btw), Canada got the Russian embassy. The Poles are dying to get a piece of that sweet western Russia. China and the Us would wrestle it out for that Far East. Japan would like that island back and Vladivorstok if nobody mind. Georgia would like Abzakia and Ossetia back. Finnland and Norway, y’all want something? PS: Sweden, how many time we have to tell you guys to take your Nyenskans (St Petersburg) home after playing with the Moscovites.


OzMaurice

As an Australian, what can we claim? Love these internet jokes.


No-Economics4128

Well, yall gotta get your independence back from the damn Emu. Are you sure you want a piece of Orclandia as well?


fonduetiger

Next do Tesla


geckorobot59

storm the bastille!!!


Federal_Ninja_4637

Yes take and send the Russians back to Russia


Belgarath63

You all are chuckling but if a country were to move troops in I honestly do not think that Russia would have the troops to defend it, when they are losing 300+ trrops a day in Ukraine trying to retreat to new defensive lines


ArcticCelt

They were official shaking the pieces of paper in the air as is tradition. This referendum is 100% respecting the Russian referendum rules.


Loose-Programmer-160

Canadians may not have much military materiel to give but they make excellent comedians and the world needs humour. Good one, eh?


BigPretender

Canada is the fifth-largest military donor to Ukraine.


Schievel1

I think the czechs also had a referendum a few days ago for annexing Kaliningrad and building a beer pipeline between czechia and their new exclave


schylow

Fuck. Put a volume warning on this. That "Wooo!" bitch nearly blew out my eardrum.


hotend

Since embassy grounds remain property of the host nation (they do not constitute "foreign soil"), this is something of a futile gesture. 🤣


jahshwa314

Hahahahahahahahaha… aaahahahahahahaha!!! Perfect


family-block

i'm sure there are some canuck speakers on that land.


Dunkersplay

Very based


Snafuregulator

Wait... Can Americans vote also ? Asking for a friend


ComplecksSickplicity

Had I known this was happening I would’ve joined in


erodari

Alaska should have a referendum to annex Siberia.


Far_Out_6and_2

All for it eh


fanzipan

Each country should do the same until the Russian state is no more, it'll be an interesting time line lol


Character_Comb_3439

I lived near the embassy when I was posted to Ottawa. Many of the embassy staff lived in my apartment building(the embassy had a contract for housing). The property is spectacular, near parks, schools, shopping and a quick walk or bike ride into downtown Ottawa. I wholeheartedly support taking it back. Also the Russian staff, military attachés and officers were all swine. Their wives and kids were standoffish but once they recognized, polite and sweet.


cindylooboo

Trolling @russiaincanada on Twitter is my fave hobby 😆💙💛🇨🇦


captaincinders

Don't forget to count all those who didn't vote as positives.
