Sell Montana to Canada for $1 trillion to ease US national debt, petition says
Fox News ^ | February 19, 2019 | Ryan Gaydos

Montana should be sold to Canada to help pay off some of the U.S.'s national debt, according to a petition on Change.org.

Ian Hammond, the petition creator, wants to sell The Treasure State to the nation's neighbor to the north for $1 trillion.

“We have too much debt and Montana is useless. Just tell them it has beavers or something,” the petition description read.

More than 7,000 people have already signed the petition as of Tuesday. The petition was looking to garner at least 7,500 online signatures.

Stupid idea. It would be much better to rent California to China. Part of the rental agreement would be to clean it up.

Mexico has already seized control of California, yet we still pay the bills for the growing entitlement. Didn’t californistan vote to secede already?

Glacier National Park is magnificent.

Liberalism? Not so much.

Keep Montana. Sell a few liberal enclaves on the East and West Coast...to the lowest bidder.

As if that will help anything. What about the other $21 trillion? And the trillions more to be added.

How many of those 7,000 people who signed the petition actually live in Montana?

Sell California to China. Imagine all the sweatshops and factories they could build and the access they would have to a huge labor force too!

That’s a pretty funny petition, and it makes a mockery of the whole stupid and pointless online petition trend.

Well considering that he hasn’t played quarterback in about 25 years, I think that’s a pretty steep price.

They’ll never fall for it. They’re still pissed about Gretzky.

They got their revenge by dumping Bieber on us.

How about we just sell Kali and Colorado to Mexico for $2 trillion.

Better yet, let’s bill Mexico for the care of their 30% of their population that lives here.

To you and all the others who advocate selling California first let me point out to you that the owner of this site Jim Robinson lives there

I have heard some stupid ideas and the selling Montana to Canada or any other state may seem funny but to me it shows stupidity on steroids. and to those here who cleverly do not portray their state flag (and you know who you are) I say wherever you live you just put your home state at the top pf the list

Good grief, must be kids time on FR...
