Lol!

Parlay vooooo?

Got skeeters up there that can kill a moose!

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

Or America could join the Commonwealth, it is a former colony...

[EEGator]

Just send Quebec adrift...

[freedomfiter2]

That’s what we need. Joining a Godless country with socialized medicine would be a great boost for the Obama agenda.

[Rannug]

“1984”?

[HereInTheHeartland]

So would we fully merge; or would Obama add them as the 58th state?

[SeminoleCounty]

I wanted to merge the USA, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein into United Lux Stein....but no takers. Since we are already bailing out the EU thru our tax dollars to the IMF...might as well take their tax havens

[SeminoleCounty]

Free Trader Globalists are already trying to create a one world govt...we already have the UN, WTO....

[SeminoleCounty]

I’ll take Quebec over Latin America, any day. As much as the Québécois despise Anglophones....more of them speak English in Quebec than the Latinos in the Orlando area. That is fact

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Daffynition.

And tie me kangaroo down mate.

The population of Australia is somewhat smaller than that of Texas, so why not just add it as a state? Not that I would want to, since it would probably be a “blue” state.

[Oztrich Boy]

Australia would first have to secede from the British Commonwealth — and that ain’t gonna happen.

You are aware that under the Commonwealth rules of association, the US is eligible to join.

[Uncle Chip]

You are aware that under the Commonwealth rules of association, the US is eligible to join.

Perhaps the US should reciprocate and offer Great Britain statehood.

"I think Mexico will"

I think so too. Twice before parts of Mexico have formally petitioned the U.S. to become states, the Yucatan and Lower Baja.

[upcountryhorseman]

It would make more sense for The U. S. to take over Mexico:
that would solve our illegal immigration problem.

In times gone by, I might have agreed with the concept. But not since the once-proud Aussies allowed themselves to be disarmed.

[naturalman1975]

I love this idea that we are disarmed in Australia.

There are at least a million legally held firearms in private hands in Australia.

Personally, I have one of these:

and one of these:

as well as a number of basic hunting rifles. And I could own more, but I've only got two hands so these will do.

It's certainly not rosy here for gun ownership - universal licencing and registration, for example - and my handgun is a .38 because having anything heavier is complicated for reasons that make very little sense. But we're not disarmed, and plenty of places in the US has some stupid rules as well.
