I don’t know how picky we could be if we were annexing the country. I think BC would be the worst of the bunch, but what I think is of no consequence. I wonder what the Canadians think of this suggestion. What do you think @grayruby?

BC is very liberal but beautiful and filled with talented people, wealth and resources. You definitely want BC but you don’t want them to vote. Haha

I don’t know that would work or not. I know the BC voters are mostly reds and many of them would be CCP members to boot. I don’t think Canadians want to come under the boot of the US state any more than we would like to go under the boot of the Canadian state. In fact, do we really need the state at all?

Maybe we just offer Alberta & Saskatchewan statehood, but annex the rest like a semi-autonomous overseas territory-no federal representation.

I guess that would be the pick-and-choose method. I don’t know if the Canadians would go for it. It might be just an all-or-nothing sort of deal.
