As a Quebec resident, that's a no for me dawg.

Plus, there is no way the U.S. would put up with the ridiculous language laws here.

If we're buying a state, I want Hawaii, not Montana!

Dear Montana,

We’re currently have the worst Prime Minister this country has ever had. You would be so neglected by Ottawa that you’d be on the white house lawn begging to come back. Save yourself the emberassment. A quarter of Albertans are trying to leave this country.

Would this purchase pass the lens of bill c-69?

The downside would mean that the price of golf in whitefish would quadruple easily. The pizza at jersey boys would shrink to canadian size and increase to canadian prices

Lol, a quarter of the population is trying to leave? As far I know it’s an open border.

I believe that would be 'Montana_Moe.'

How many change.org petitions bring about the change they seek? 1 in 10,000? in 100,000? In a billion?

What an amazing world it would be to get direct flights from YYC to T&C and be able to pay for everything in $CAD.

That is actually pretty low. It's easy for people to answer that way in a poll, but when push comes to shove, the actual results would probably be much lower.

Even in Quebec, a lot of the people I know who vote for "separatist" parties, only do so because they feel those parties best promote their interests on a federal level, but they would never actually vote "yes" in a referendum.

Quebec came within a hair of voting to leave Canada, IIRC...

A long time ago, but the separatist side thought they had it based on polls and the number of people who voted for the Bloc and Parti. Then people got cold feet.

Trump might actually be down with that because he could then legitimately claim that Obama wasn't born in the States.
