Should Alaska be apart of Canada?

[Parker 1st MRB]

Well should it?

[Stab N' Grab]

honestly you guys can have it. And if you do, then Sarah Palin wont be a governor in the US anymore, and then she wont be able to run for president... so take it

[Desnoyers]

Lol Hopkins, nice way of looking at it.

I think yea, the gap is stupid between alaska and the rest of the US. It only makes geological sense that it would better suit Canada. PLUS, then I could go there and snowboard my face off without having to worry about getting across the border with an assault charge..

[Morton]

Considering the wealth of the timber and oil, and mining, fuck no. Alaska was bought by the US. Its now American soil. And no maple syrup drinking hatter is going to take it, if you want it so bad, just join the US. Then we can be the United States of North America

good point, we'll keep it. But please for the love of god take Sarah Palin and her whole family, you can have them, and do with them whatever it is that you want (hopefully feed them to moose or packs of rabid badgers, publicly execute, whatever you can think of, you Canadians are creative, im sure you can think of something)

[Dillon 1st MRB]

I'm sort of puzzled.... what would Canada do with Alaska if they had it?

And what would you be willing to trade to get it? And the first fucker that offers Quebec can just stop that train right now.

[Wells 1st MRB]

+1, Hopkins.

That and isn't that where Matix is?

You can take California too while you're at it, you don't have to wait until ze end of ze world!

[GMoney BAR]

Sarah Palin hasn't been governor there for a while now. I don't know why you care. She's not your governor. Irrelevant argument.

[Parker 1st MRB]

I'm just saying it's so out of place. It's not like it's an island and it's all willy nilly, it's attached to Canada and not the US.

I call shenanigans on this!

P.s. We're fine with keeping Sarah Palin, soon she'll realize that we don't have governors in Canada muahahahahaha!!!!

No but seriously we don't! The House of Commons makes Canada's laws. Canadians elect representatives to the House of Commons. These representatives are called Members of Parliament (MPs) and usually belong to a political party. The political party that has the largest number of MPs forms the government, and its leader becomes Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is the head of government in Canada. The Prime Minister chooses MPs to serve as ministers in the Cabinet. There are ministers for citizenship and immigration, justice, etc... The Cabinet makes important decisions about government policy. The Senate reviews laws that are proposed by the House of Commons. The prime minister chooses the senators.

[Wells 1st MRB]

I think we're losing track of the insignificance of Alaska - why trade?

[GMoney BAR]

Insignificance of Alaska or Canada? Yeah I went there you dirty Canadians!

[I have no arms BAR]

No no no, you guys have it all backwards. Alaska shouldn't become part of Canada because of the gap between the main bulk of U.S. states and Alaska. Canada should just become the 51st state. Then we'd all be one big happy family.

Finders keepers losers weepers!

Even if we give up Alaska we would rape it from all of it's resources and then hand it over.

-Also it's the closest thing we have to Russia.

-The British, who owned Canada, correctly saw it as too cold and frozen to be suitable for farming, did not know gold and oil would be discovered there, and did not want to pay for it. The U.S. also knew it was not suitable for farming and also did not know that gold and oil would be discovered, but decided to buy it anyway, to be able to surround Canada on two sides, and to weaken the position of the British with respect to Russia, not because the U.S. had any immediate use for it.

I think that it would make more sense for Canada to own it but. It is what it is

[Dillon 1st MRB]

The only reason Canada doesn't have Alaska already is because they didn't have the common sense to invade and take it. The only reason the US bought it and didn't just take it is because the US was at least smart enough to know that you don't invade two countries at once.

And we all know that both BC and Russia is full of bear cavalry.

Canadian Bear Cavalry

Russian Bear Cavalry

[Tragedy]

I do not understand the whole 51st state thing in relation to canada.... you realize we are the 2nd largest country in the world right... we are bigger then the states.... infact we are the 2nd largest next to russia... so that comment is just retarded lol.

[I have no arms BAR]

Oh you silly Canadians.

It was supposed to be stupid.

[2nd] Canada 9,976,140km sq [3rd] US 9,629,091 Km sq. difference of 347,049 km sq.

But in population...

[34th] Canada 34,341,000 [density of 3.3 per sq km][0.5%of worlds pop] [3rd] US 310,872,000 [density of 31.6 per sq km.][4.51% of worlds pop]

Difference in population: 276,531,000.

So yeah you would be like nothing in terms of population. And we all know that its population that matters, not land mass.

Good god, then you look at china with its 20% of the the worlds population. or india with its 17%

Yeah, but what would happen if Canada would be the 51st state? They would have to conform to our laws. Besides, do we really want French Canadians as U.S. citizens? lol We could treat them like the Indians and make them a separate entity within another entity.

Oh and Morton, land mass matters when there is something in the land or under it that everyone wants. Like the massive amount of oil under Canada.

That's true, I didn't think about all the french canadians. Nevermind, deal's off.

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

Hahaha, no one ever thinks about the French Canadians.

[Tragedy]

i dont even like the french and i was only talking land mass. we dont rape and pilliage our country's forrests etc lol

[Doran]

They can have it only if they promise to take justin bieber and sarah palin then we are even

[Zachow 1st MRB]

Like G said we can just do to them what we did to the native americans beat the french out of them and take them on long death marches to scraps of shit land and give them no rights. And never apologize or speak of it. Canada has at least apologized and given reparations.

[McKenzie 1st MRB]

Fuck no, we bought that shit fair and square lol.

1st post

U.S. will never try to invade/own Canada, we sell them things too cheap and it would destroy the U.S. economy not to have Canada as a trading partner. Cause we all know land mass and population have absolutely nothing to do with why countries get invaded, it's all about money and wealth.

P.S. I'll be worried when water becomes a highly valuable resource.

P.S.S. Alaska is kind of useless atm since Canadian lumber/gold/oil is outstripping the production from Alaska and is selling cheaper, you can keep it and sarah palin, although if we got her we'd just charge her with treason and stick her in jail
