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.

Uhhh no. Though I am willing to trade the Left Coast, NYC, DC, Miami, Chicago, New Jersey and New England to Canada in exchange for Alberta and non coastal BC.

Think the Canucks will be dumb enough to go for it? If not, how much will we need to pay them to take these chitholes off our hands?

There’s more to life than oceans, I grew up near the Pacific. I don’t miss it. I prefer the wide open spaces. I prefer the Rockies and being able to shoot 2700 yards off my south deck.

The article has it all wrong. Don't sell our territory to raise money. Take their territory with its abundance of oil, minerals, and cropland, and use these assets to pay down our debt.

Yep. Invade Canada, and take it over. Is Lake Erie frozen over yet? When it is, roll a few hundred tanks across it, and cut transportation and communications lines between Toronto and Montreal. Maybe enough air cover to keep the Royal Canadian Air Force grounded. But who would stop the tanks? Dudley Dooright and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police? Pffft. They'd sue for peace in about 45 minutes.

Quebec might not be happy, especially when the newly-formed United American Canadian States (or whatever the new country decides to call itself) bans the bilingual rules. A shame, eh?

The Montana’s that I know would say “Fuck you! We will form our own country and thanks for the goddamn nukes you shit-bags.”

As an expatriate Montanan who grew up there I can say this with authority.

Montanans are all pissed off about how Canadian quarters and dimes kept getting slipped into our change all these years.

PIF. Keep it up, and you’ll find out why the Delta commander said he doesn’t want to deploy without the PPCLI in the future. Rascal.

No westerners I know hate the US. It’s quite the opposite actually. Anyone that says they do is just another liberal hack.

I apologize. My experience of anti-US sentiment was in Ontario, not the west. When people would hear my southern accent, they’d ask me where I was from. If I said the US, I’d get a cold shoulder.

If I said, Texas, their eyes would light up and they’d pepper me with questions. As if Texas wasn’t in the US. LOL

Any and all real Americans are welcome here. I caught one couple with a Hillary sticker. I told them to hurry on through and take their communist sympathies with them.

I live near the Alaskan hwy, so often I come across travellers and am quite happy to help.

Ok. Here’s what we do.

We sell Montana to Canada. We get the Trill, then we invade Montana and take it back. Neener neener.

Then we sell Montana to Germany. We tell Germany “buy Montana for a trill or we bomb Canada!” The Germans are soft touches since we killed off so many of them a generation or so ago. They’d fall for it.

Then we invade Montana and take it back. Neener neener.

Then we sell Montana to France. No need to sweeten the pot. The French aren’t very smart. Invade, take it back, neener neener, etc.

Keep going around the globe. Down the list of everyone that’s got a spare trill. Then we go for the billions. Then for the millions.

I, of course, get 10 percent since it was my idea.

New York, Maine, Washington (and Oregon), Vermont. We can through in Rhode Island and Massachusetts if we go the NY route. We can take Alberta, Ontario... not so smart about Canada except we don’t want Quebec an BC.
