“Why not give it to Canada.”

Depends on how much they charge to haul it away.

200 years ago they walked in and took it without a fight.

We should stage a reenactment, and conveniently let them keep it.

Why not give it to Canada?

How do they do that without residents of Detroit becoming citizens of Canada, free to roam their country at will? I assume you're being sarcastic, but selling them the lakeside and the other side of the bridges connecting with Canada, population (what's left of it) moved elsewhere in Detroit would have benefits.

Another idea that comes up every now in then is breaking up these large, dysfunctional cities. Instead, politicians keep coming up with schemes to integrate smaller towns with each other or folded into adjacent cities. Smaller governments work best, as long as they're not starved by all state and federal money going to propping up unsuccessful cities.

Often times, a good idea is just something that starts out silly being twisted and turned a bit. Problem is, no one in charge is dealing with problem-solving anymore.....except for propping up the puppet masters. JMHO

Uh, I’m almost sure Canada would consider that an act of war.
