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.

Better to sell Alberta to the US.

I'd trade them Alberta for either the entire West Coast or CA and NY.

The provinces west of Ontario have more in common with the people in the states to their south than they do with eastern Canada. And all except possibly BC, resent the eastern government that tells them what they can do with their resources. What they all generally have in common, though, is hating the US. LOL

I can’t dispute the cold. Calgary in February was the coldest I have ever been in my life. Great people, though.

Sell the Big Sky Country? You must be joking.

Now, if we were to sell them California, Oregon and Washignton...hmmm....is there a downside?

I think society is regressing and retardation a more common result from the public school system.

“N Dork”

Hah? If you are thinking N Dak, you want to get rid of all that oil, food, wide open spaces and a pure red state? You gotta be either a die hard lefty or a couple bricks short of a full load.

I’m so conservative, you’d have to send 1,000 libtards. I’m also so anti-islam, you’d have to send the entire population of moslems there to Canada to compensate.

Sell the bay area and LA and maybe throw in Sacramento as a bonus. The rest of the state is relatively sane in comparison

Do you want to know why Bay Area real estate is unaffordable except to millionaires? Chinese money. Billions in Chinese money.

Montana might serve as a refuge to Canadians now living in the two-thirds of their nation destined to return to the Laurentide Sheet glacial conditions. That’s if they prefer the cold/dry condition.

The U.S. Southwest will revert to the normal wet pattern of the dominate glacial-period, and once again become a nice area with a moderate climate. Lake Manly will eventually refill to it’s prior 600 foot depth.

I say we start manifest destiny, north/south version. Once we take it all, we lock it down. The resources alone will surpass 1T awfully soon.
