Let me check my couch cushions, but I'm pretty sure I don't have $1 trillion in there. Pretty sure the Canadian govt. doesn't either.

Well they could have, but I don't think the BC or Alberta legislatures have that kind of decision making power.

This is just a joke petition started by a random dude. This really should just be in the Cool Pictures and Funny Stories thread.

This could be the start of Alberta's own Louisiana purchase!

Join Saskatchewan and Manitoba, buy Montana, invade BC.

We could be British Monibertanawan.

The only way the US trades Montana for Quebec is if Chiarelli is running the USA.

We have a trade to announce.


Alberta has traded Quebec and Ottawa to the United States for Montana and a conditional second round draft pick which becomes a first if the US gets sick of Ottawa and Quebecs %%% and tries to demand a refund.
