I Say We Call It New Texas Part 2

Western Canadians are not too happy with being part of Canada:

More than one-third of western Canadians surveyed this summer thought it was time to consider separation from Canada, a poll suggests.

In the survey, 35.6 per cent of respondents from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia agreed with the statement: Western Canadians should begin to explore the idea of forming their own country.

I say why be part of some new country, when there is a perfectly good country already willing to take you in. I say come and join the United States. We have not added any new states in my lifetime and I am itching to do so. Maybe after this is done we could again start talking about making Cuba a state, which was one of the pressing political issues in this country about a hundred years ago.
