Should Michigan be ceded to Canada?

[UrbScotty]

Poll question: Should Michigan be ceded to Canada?

For option #3, refer to this picture:

[CharG]

1. No, but the Upper Peninusla should be a seperate state....

yoopers would be a whole lot happier on their own.....eh?

[fishnfla]

7. Say ya to da UP der hey!

say yes to michigan

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. No, I appreciate Canada too much to do that to them

sorry, MI

(the Yoop can join WI, though!)

[cprise]

4. Agreed, Canada doesn't need that problem.

.

[BeatleBoot]

14. Besides they voted for Gore

So we'll keep 'em

[fishnfla]

3. No but North Dakota should

plains, schmains

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. NOOOOOOOO!

I love the Dakotas!! I don't want them in Canada!!

[fishnfla]

10. The way things are going

They'd be much better off.

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. Okay, how about ND, SD, WI, NY, MN, ME, AK, WA, and OR all go to canada

and the rest of the country can go hang itself.

[Ruby Romaine]

22. Why not add FL-lots of Canadians there

In fact Florida has more French speakers(337,605 in 2000)than Ontario(326,030 in 2000)

That would keep Jeb from fixing the election again!

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. Because in my godly, ethical nature, I'd inflict Canada with MI

way, way, way before I'd inflict them with FL.

Florida - what a hellhole. Lots of good people there, so I hope the state can become less republican.

[HuckleB]

5. Nah, but give the Canadians these: AK, WA, OR, ME, NH, VT and MN

The U.S. no longer deserves 'em.

[fishnfla]

11. Canuck says:

get our moose back there! 'eh?

[greatauntoftriplets]

8. No.

Your governor may be a good liberal Democrat, but I don't find her a hottie.

[Paragon]

9. No, but Mexico can have Texas.

And take * with them.

[HuckleB]

12. Agreed, and give 'em part of Arizona, say Maricopa County on south.

Good riddance.

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. Ooh - cool sig photo! Man, I miss Hicks

Was just listening to "relentless" today.

Sigh....

[NoPasaran]

23. Excuuuuuse me

We were a republic. You could just return our independence.

[Ruby Romaine]

13. YES! CANADA

Since * was installed,I find myself sorry we Yanks won the War of 1812!
America had Toronto (York) & the British had Detroit.
I'm glad we won the Toledo War though. Who would want Ohio?

[Blue-Jay]

51. Your Mama.

nyah.

[Ruby Romaine]

17. Our hot chick Governor was born in Canada

She can't run for President, maybe she could be PM.
We'll see how long it takes * Rove to have complete control of Paul Martin.

[Lisa]

20. Wow -- I didn't know that! A fellow Canadian ...

So she's made it big in the States, like Mike Myers and John Kenneth Galbraith! Cool.

[Ruby Romaine]

21. She was born in BC

Moved to the US when she was four years old.

[CanuckAmok]

30. Hey, Lisa, where have you been? Haven't "seen" you lately! n/t

[CanuckAmok]

26. Oh, uh... where have you been?

Martin was hatched in a secret Rovian laboratory several decades ago. There's no need to wait for "complete control".

[Ruby Romaine]

27. At least you live in a democractic country

We no longer do.

[CanuckAmok]

29. don't worry, you soon will.

And I'm not suggesting you're going to emigrate.

Bush is on the run, and we all know it. Hang in there, and vote the bastard out in November.

Then let the War Trials begin!

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. No, but we should give the UP back to it's rightful owner...Wisconsin.

It's connected for gosh sakes. And that's just piggish on the part of Michigan. ;) Plus, it's Packer country.

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. And it's too beautiful to be part of ugly michigan

nasty michiganderses. Steal our precioussss, yes they did. Rotten, nasty filthy thieveses.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. You are so right! Here's to Wisconsin being the bestest and most

prettiest. :toast: sniffle....I wanna go ho-ho-home...:cry:

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. Nice thing about being a Wisconsinite is that, even if you are away,

you are always and will always be welcome home, and considered a Wisconsite.

I liken it to Hawaii in that regard - true loyalty to its own people, and its own people truly loyal to it.

Unlike those jackasses in Illinois who would sell their own grandmother if it meant they could shave another two minutes off their high-speed interstate dangerously stupid drive to the Dells for a weekend away from the hole they live in.

[Ruby Romaine]

28. One great thing about SE Michigan

We get CBC radio & TV.

It's much nicer to wake up to CBC than NPRepub.
We can watch Air Farce & 22 minutes bash *

[Rabrrrrrr]

33. Yeah, thank God

I hate to say it, but the only place Ive ever lived that I truly hated and had no respect for was MI. Granted, I was in Flint, but still, the state was run horribly, the people were obnoxious, even outside Flint, and it is an ugly state (or was in the 80s).

Except the UP and north of Saginaw. Beautiful! And good people.

[5thGenDemocrat]

41. That's understandable, Rabrrrrrr -- everybody hates Flint

Actually, the beautiful part and the good people part both begin AT Saginaw. I should know -- I live here.
Now to the relevant part of the post -- if it wasn't for the goddamned Treaty of Paris in 1783, we Michiganians would be Canadians. But they had to draw the international border right through the middle of the Great Lakes (sans, of course, Lake Michigan).

And we DO have an Ontario Hockey League franchise and THREE Tim Horton's donut shops here. That has to count for something (and I voted "yes" in the poll, BTW).

[Rabrrrrrr]

42. Yeah, and that conservative anti-abortion Domino's dude

can't remember his name.

have to say, i don't like Sagninaw, but saw a lot of good concerts there: Dio a few times, Alice Cooper's second show on his comeback tour, and some others.

[5thGenDemocrat]

43. Well, I'm sorry you feel that way about the ol' hometown

Does that mean you're not coming to FUNDAY? There's FREE BEER involved.
John
You haven't experienced Saginaw 'til you've seen it with a native (born here October 4, 1956 and the family's lived in this house since 1961).

[Rabrrrrrr]

44. Had a wuite a few friends who were engineers at Central Foundry up there

though. :-)

[pfitz59]

39. I watch lots of CBC (in Seattle)!

This Hour Has 22 Minutes!
Royal Canadian Air Farce.
The National.
Great stuff......

[noonwitch]

48. The CBC has better hockey coverage, too

I usually watch the playoffs and any Wings game that I can on the CBC. I love Don Cherry, he is so funny and those suits he wears are wild. I also appreciate how low key the advertising is.

[PassingFair]

37. But, but, but...

...does that mean we have to take Toledo back?

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. You betcha Baby!

;)

[ellie]

47. Hey!

I live on the outskirts of Toledo! I would like to be part of Michigan. Ohio is too red, and Toledo always votes Democratic. They have the world's best Congressperson: Marcy Kaptur!

Here in NW Ohio, we get CBC. I love Hockey Night in Canada

[Thor_MN]

40. Well Canada should at least get Ilse Royale...

Less than 20 miles from Canada, about 56 to the UP...

[CanuckAmok]

25. I bet most of the "no" votes are from Canadian DUers n/t

[pink_poodle]

35. I voted "yes" because we could use more area for...............

carting off our garbage to. Thanks Michigan!

[Endangered Specie]

32. Absolutely not

we need the democratic electoral votes.

[PassingFair]

36. My vote is a big YES!

Can I have healthcare now?

[bigwillq]

45. No. If they did would Canada have control over the Great Lakes?

[UrbScotty]

46. Kick!

:-)

[geniph]

49. Oh please please please

let Washington state merge with British Columbia, please! Then I won't have to emigrate to live in a democracy!

[CrownPrinceBandar]

50. Gov. Granholm...

looks like a Vulcan.

"It is highly illogical to want to send my state to Canada. It is a result of your human emotions."






Hmmmm?
