How about Alaska? It will make the maps look cleaner. But they have to keep the Palin clan.
Regarding Michigan, think a bit hereā¦ Weād have to be the ones who put the current governor in front of a firing squad, and we canāt do that - we havenāt got a death penalty. As for ND, we need some sort of fit, and Iām not sure weād find it with North Dakotans. Besides, if they arenāt moaning afterwards, it probably isnāt a fair trade.
Letās compromise with South Dakota then. Weāll 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 youāve got me thinkingā¦ we just need to annex all the northern states. Really, it just makes sense.
Nah, just a little ācosmetic 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 itās 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 canucksā¦
Hmmā¦ Heads of government, I think. If you accept substitutes, then youād 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 UKās Minister of Production during WWII was a Canadian (Lord Beaverbrook). If our American friends followed our example, we would havenāt to negotiate taking back Cruz.
Edit: ā¦but weād 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 weād better get a few more just to be sure.* Iād like to see some representation from the west coast. BC might be interested in acquiring Washington.
*Sure of a consensus, that is. Not impugning anyoneās 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 āJoin Canadaā component.
So, for taking back Bieber, may I suggest holding out for Alaska, Wisconsin (theyāve 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?
Itās maybe a good time to review the Turks and Caicosā request to join Confederation while weāre at itā¦
Looking for full riparian rights?
Sneaky devils.
If you donāt think a guy who rose to pop-stardom via YouTube is jetpack-future-cool, then get offa my lawn! Weāre throwing a party here tonight and need to unload these keggers of Labattās.
Nice try, you sneak! ND is where we keep our nukes!
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.
Gotta get some payback for 1812! I mean cāmon!!
AND for 1930! Or are you going to pretend you didnāt have a war plan to invade Canada in 1930!? Hmph!
@Mangochin - what about Texas thoā¦
Itās our manifest destiny.
Going to be a whole lot of cops, politicos and ābusinessmenā 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 thatās 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, youāre in trouble.
