    From the article:

    "We have too much debt and Montana is useless. Just tell them it has beavers or something," Ian Hammond, the petition's creator, wrote in its description."

    OK, that right there tells you this guy is either being totally factious is a total idiot, lol.

    No, sorry, you do not get Jeff.


    And by the way, you also do not get this part-time MT residents:



    not this one:


    and definitely not this fine MT writer, teacher, resident


    On the other hand, if you have any interest in acquiring the state of Nevada, let's talk.  :lol:

    Oh, my friend, you drive a hard bargain!  The problem is, celebrities come and go but the natural features of Montana, ah! That is worth keeping forever (assuming we can save what is left of it).

    Now if I were Canadian, I would be asking myself, what does America have that would be worth our spending one trillion dollars on? 

    As an American, my concern is that if we have anything left worth one trillion dollars and we sold it off to Canada, we might get rid of our national debt, but we might also end up culturally and/or aesthetically bankrupt.  We're closing in on that as it is and also close to reaching a no-win situation. 

    Also worth considering, would you really want to take on the dysfunctional traits of whatever we'd have to offer?  I would think long and hard on that one.

    1 final offer.  We take Montana, Nevada and Florida (I'll trade Florida to Cuba for some cigars) and you get Canadian citizenship (think how handy that would be if Trump is re-elected) and a 10-acre parcel of pristine Montana land.  LOL.

    Then I guess we can grant you a Canadian citizen and land.  Not sure how 1 trillion will solve the US debt...lol. I would gladly move to Montana.  I think Lettermen has a ranch there.

    I'd way rather get Alaska. That place never should have been a part of the US in the first place! It makes no sense! It pisses me off that it uses up half of what should be BC's northern coast, lol. But we're not taking Palin. We'll throw her back.

    I'm always wary of any petition that can be signed while you are sitting on your toilet at home pooping.  If the same petition required filling out a form and walking it out to your mailbox, I'm guessing you would see a 98% reduction in "signatures".
