Canada is Cool

How about Alaska? It will make the maps look cleaner. But they have to keep the Palin clan.

Regarding Michigan, think a bit here… We’d have to be the ones who put the current governor in front of a firing squad, and we can’t do that - we haven’t got a death penalty. As for ND, we need some sort of fit, and I’m not sure we’d find it with North Dakotans. Besides, if they aren’t moaning afterwards, it probably isn’t a fair trade.

Let’s compromise with South Dakota then. We’ll just add Wayne Gretzky to Mt. Rushmore and call it a day.

@Tribune - I would like Alaska yes! I would even keep the Palins to get it!
@PatRx2 - nah, just declare him a dangerous offender and send him to Pennetang for life with all the other criminal crazies!

Tho you’ve got me thinking… we just need to annex all the northern states. Really, it just makes sense.

Nah, just a little ā€œcosmetic surgeryā€ to the carvings to make them into Sir John A., Wilfred Laurier, Mackenzie King and Pierre Trudeau. (That latter should get them moaning enough that we know it’s a fair trade.)

Tommy Douglas instead of King!

That could work. We might be willing to keep the Palins for the entertainment value. Kind of a counterweight to the Trailer Park Boys. Let me run it by Missy_Pants.

edit: I see she has already agreed.

Do we have quorum? Can we rule on this? We may need more canucks…

Hmm… Heads of government, I think. If you accept substitutes, then you’d have to add C. D. Howe for the war years, and that would be adding American content.

Our Minister of Production during WWII was an American; the UK’s Minister of Production during WWII was a Canadian (Lord Beaverbrook). If our American friends followed our example, we would haven’t to negotiate taking back Cruz.

Edit: …but we’d still sting the Hell out of them if they want us to take back Bieber.

Well, any four Canadians of good character may speak for the nation, but maybe we’d better get a few more just to be sure.* I’d like to see some representation from the west coast. BC might be interested in acquiring Washington.

*Sure of a consensus, that is. Not impugning anyone’s character here.

Alaska is fine, with or without the Palins. There was not only an Alaskan separatist movement, there was a time when it had a ā€œJoin Canadaā€ component.

So, for taking back Bieber, may I suggest holding out for Alaska, Wisconsin (they’ve got curling clubs), and Vermont? (Edit: Minnesota too, maybe - they also have curling clubs.) And if they want to throw in Cruz, can I suggest we get really serious, and add in Maine, upstate New York (including Buffalo) and Washington?

It’s maybe a good time to review the Turks and Caicos’ request to join Confederation while we’re at it…

At this point I am willing to just make a new country Amerada taking up Canada and all of the US except the former Confederacy and Arizona which can be sold off to Mexico.

Going to be a whole lot of cops, politicos and ā€œbusinessmenā€ ending up in Penetanguishene, then. Might happen anyway, will ye, nil ye, should you end up with President Trump or President Cruz. I expect an immense upsurge in refugees immigration to Canada in either case, and that’s no joke.

Give them back to Mexico - there would be a certain poetic justice in that.

1930? We always have a war plan to invade Canada. And trust me, when we find it on the map, you’re in trouble.
