Historically perhaps they could have stayed with Canada (or "British North America" at the time) just like the Îles-de-la-Madeleine archipelago in the Gulf of St Lawrence are part of Canada (Quebec) today.

Back then I am sure that the population make up of SPM and the Madeleines probably was not that different.

The official language of the province of Quebec is French.

English-French official bilingualism is mostly a federal government thing in Canada, though the small province of New Brunswick in the Maritime is also officially English-French bilingual - the only province that is like that.

I think Anguilla could be a good addition to Canada if the Anguillans wanted it. It is currently an overseas territory of the UK. Only 15,000 people live there which is like 4% of the number of immigrants accepted into Canada every year. It certainly wouldn't put Canada out much and it would give us a slice of tropical paradise.

How about we get Queensland and give you a province or territory in exchange. We’re very generous.

You’re Aussie, right?

An Aussie wannabe

Sounds like a fair trade. QLD is about the size of the 3 prairie provinces combined. Seems like a fair trade

I’m a Canuck in Straya, though Victoria. So, I guess you could say a wannabe.

I never thought of the following until now. Here is Canada, one of the world's largest country where many of its provinces alone are bigger than many countries, and the tropical places (minus French Guyana) that people suggest could be Canadian are itty bitty postage stamp size places.

Dichotomy much?

In that sense, maybe the Bahamas could sell Canada one of its thousands of uninhabited tropical islands. Granted that much of the Bahamas is technically not in the tropics, but close enough.

Haiti could use Canada’s “Peace, order, good government” touch.

The climate is tropical.
