I have to wonder, do these petition signers really think that Canada actually WANTS Montana, and is willing to pay one trillion dollars (USD or CD?) for it?
If it did happen, I would have to move to Wyoming (again). I don't want to be a Canadian.

In the garage were muscle cars, giant SUV’s and one Prius for him to drive when in public.

Very typical liberal.
No typical liberal I know got it like that.

You really hate liberals I see.

Canada doesn't need more territory. What would we waste 1 trillion US on getting more?

As everyone here knows, this will go no where, for many reasons.
I think most of us are just having fun with this, at least I am. We all know that's not going to happen, so just have a little fun with it.

Start a petition to sell NY to Canada and California to Mexico and I'd bet you'd get a lot more than 10,000 signatures.....

It would get control of the water. Think about that for a moment.
