Greenland is not for sale...but...

[bucket]

Maybe Alberta and Saskatchewan will be...

Just reading something in The Guardian about Trump wanting to acquire Greenland...

Might be hogwash but maybe Moe and Kenney should express an interest to Trump....


The better question is....What are we worth???

Seems no one in eastern canada has done the math.

Even if we have to pay to be accepted, we will still be better off in the long run, as compared to paying extortion fees just for the privilege of remaining in this abusive relationship.

Anyone have any connections to high level US politicians? Perhaps we need to use Twitter to let Trump know directly?

Perhaps part of the deal in joining the U.S.A., would be everything inside the merging territory would be instantly valued in USD.
So if your RRSP has a million CAD, after merging it would be a million USD.
A quarter of land at 250,000 CAD, would become 250,000 USD.
A small expense for the U.S. treasury to top us up! for joining their country.

They bought the Virgin island for 25 million in 1917....

But the question remains....What is Saskatchewan and Alberta worth???

Its gotta be in the 100s of billions or trillion?????

Resources , land, forests , people, businesses, infrastructure etc etc etc...

But when you start putting a price on the provinces, who is the price owed to? I would suggest that the ROC would think they are entitled to that money, so would the Natives, England and France might recall their history and make a claim on it. I don't see where it ends up in our pockets no matter what.

There was a merger of the century idea out out about a decade ago that valued canada at $450k per person. Work in inflation at its got to be closer to $700k by now. $700k x 6m people (in AB-SK-MB) = $4T.

25T for the whole country. Sounds good, lets sell.

And that doesn't even count how much richer we would in the future. Skippys destroyed the country anyway. There is no coming back from that.

They’d never afford the treaties.

They’d never afford the treaties.

Neither can we.

Probably best to get some people to rush the montana border with 22s and surrender.

Well you know Americans and geography. Turns out Trump was talking about Iceland - the UK supermarket chain.
