On a related note, most of Nevada and Utah is owned by the government. I think over 80% of the state of Nevada is government owned
First off, there isn't a trillion Canadian dollars available in the whole Canadian economy, so there's no way we could make up a trillion US unless we counterfeit it. The second thing is there's no way that Montanians (I dunno the proper term for 'em) would never concede to giving up their concealed weapons. They could keep their long guns, but they'd need paperwork for them which more or less gives the RCMP a carte-blanche to go looking for them in times of natural calamities. Third; there's no teaching them French. Fourth; we already have a welfare state, and it's called Newfoundland. Not to mention there's no way that Montana could fit in with the Equalization scheme, they'd have to give all their tax revenue to Quebec to preserve their "distinctness" and they'd get nothing in return. We already do that in Alberta, and it's never enough for them or Ottawa, which is another one horse town that serves no purpose but is heated with a lot of hot air. And fifth; Alberta is looking for other partners in a confederation that works economically, and neither the US or Canada fit the bill. If it wasn't so expensive, we'd go it alone.
Montana would beg to return to USA because Canada has no 2nd amendment. Montana gun owners would go nuts without their guns!
It'd be the beer that would entice them to stay though, anything Canadian is better than some of the cheap swill they have in liquor stores there. (Even Molson's Canadian, which is crap!) And the other thing; up here in Canada now you can smoke grass legally in designated smoking areas or at home. You can buy it almost anywhere. In a ten block radius from my house, there are 5 grass stores. Brings a whole new dimension to "taking a trip and not having to leave the farm"...
And 'cuz it's Canada we're talking about, the title should be "Adieu, mes amis, vous attraper sur le revers". And, in the same vein, you'd all have to like Poutine.
I vote we make Montana a True FREEDOM State on its own , where we just act like people who mind their own business, carry guns, smoke dope, hunt, fish, make love and burn rubber...........All things God intended in the first place before Politics was invented.
Wish Canada would buy Florida, Canada needs a warm Province. One has to wonder if there won't be a time in the future when the U.S. splits into a couple different countries, there is such a divide and difference is basic principle,moral values and religious divide that a dividion may be in the best interest of the country. Maybe that would be a great place for a wall.
Where by law they bare it all!! I remember those commercials on 97.7 htz all the time back when i lived in B-Lo..
It just made the CTV media network today, and some morons were actually commenting on the possibility of it happening.
