Jim, lets make this simple. For our new nation of Canerica, I offer up all US territory north of 40 N, and west of 100 W. What parts of current Canuckland should we include?

Washington is in then too, but I might lose all my friends with all the relocates you are suggesting. :)

Okay. The hippies and weed-based druggies can stay, as long as they hold good jobs or have a decent retirement. No sponges allowed.

That's a great idea. Heck, we would even take Oregon too. ;)


Funny, I seem to recall a lot of Canadians visiting Arizona, So. California, and Florida in the winter. I wonder where the frozen tundra folks will go after they annex a few northern states and put up the wall?  :p

They can fly their asses to Hawaii.

Or apparently Cuba.

All of Canuckland. And over in the east we can just push the border south a bit, keep the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway all to ourselves. We can just turn Detroit into a huge paintball facility.

Welll. It would make an awesome paintball park. But we would have to completely de-populate it first, fumigate it, etc. I mean that whole place needs a world-class scrub-down.

Kind of that way already but they are using lead paintballs.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

That's why we have to depopulate first. The denizens aren't about to trade their toys for paintball guns.

I have to go to lunch now. You guys mull it over and get back to me.

De-populating the place wouldn't be that difficult. The fumigating might be a bit more difficult.

Yeah, even Quebec. Every country needs their nutty population. And it keeps the Newfies where they belong.

Another state to include would be Alaska. Maybe we could get Sarah Palin to govern this newly formed nation. :)

I would be willing to exclude Ontario, as many of them don't recognize the rest of Canada anyway. (escape while you can, Mel) And Quebec too, which is only part of Canada by geographical definition, they actually want to go anyway.

Unfortunately, this would put a geographical separation of the Maritimes from the rest of the country, but hey, Alaska does it just fine now. :)

Yeah, part of the deal is that you have to keep them all down there anyway.

Yep, they are yours too.

Oh yeah, and Justin Beber has to be given US citizenship, and have his Canadian passport rescinded, as part of this accord.

I don't know, you can have both Palin, but if we have to take Beber, then you have to take Ted Cruz back! :twisted:  :p

Does it have to be somewhere cold? Can't we push up and keep some southern geography, like Texas? I really need the warm.

I was just kidding about Palin. I like the lady, but not as a politician. ;)

I had to check to see who Ted Cruz is, and I see he was born here in Calgary. Unfortunately for you all, he is an American citizen now. ;)

I was kinda thinking about a non-melting country. We could make sure you had a home with a good furnace, and lots of wooly underwear. :)

As much as I like cowgirls in their boots and Daisy Dukes, I detest the Dallas Cowboys. They would soon be proclaiming themselves "Canerica's Team." And if we lowered the line to include parts of Texas, we'd have to include Oklahoma as well.

I vote against. As OhLook has already stated, global warming is your friend. Southern Oregon will be the new Florida. And I predict everything south of Canerica will soon be a dustbowl anywho.

Oh, and Alaska is golden, being north of the 40 N.
