Damn!…..
More than 7,000 people have signed a petition to “sell” Montana to Canada for $1 trillion and use the proceeds to pay down the national debt – and it seems our northern neighbors would gladly welcome this bite out of the 49th Parallel.
“We have too much debt and Montana is useless,” says the text of the Change.org petition launched last week.
To get Canada to agree, “Just tell them it has beavers or something.”
That’s the entirety of the “cause,” though the slew of comments tacked onto the end by people giving their reasons for signing fleshed that out, as names were being added every three to four minutes on Monday.
Commenters sing the praises of beavers, welcome Montanans to Canada, and offer them free health care, Tim Horton’s, and of course legalized pot. Montanans like the idea because, Canada.
“Will save me the cost of moving to Canada,” wrote one commenter.
“MT resident here that will gladly join Canada. The US is a mess and POTUS is an embarrassment,” said another, referring to President Donald Trump and the current climate of unease gripping the nation.
“I have my reasons lol but I’ll just say Goodbye lol,” said another…..
Note….
The US national debt is pegged at $22 trillion and rising…..
Montona won’t retire anything close to THAT figure….
