Think of all the social programs that this party would put in place. Ones that the richest country in the world should have, but for some reason doesn't .

If it really means so much to you, I have a solution.

From the Articles of Confederation:

Quote:
Article Eleven: Canada, acceding to this Confederaton, and joining in the measures of the United States, shall be admitted into and entitled to all the advantages of this Union; ...
No, seriously. Join up and then you get a vote! The 51st state!

I think if you get your app in quickly, you can still beat them out in time for the election.

Well at least we would have time to learn how to pack a gun and we would have time to put bars up on our windows. Heck we can read up on those swamp people so we know what lines not to cross (they really scare me).

See TQ - always look on the bright side of things.

Swamp people? Bars on the windows? Aw, c'mon, you know you secretly all wanna be gun-totin' mamas, right? And you say Americans have some stereotypically preconceived notions about Canadians!

Still, get that application in and then you can run for president and 'fix' yer naybors ta th sout.... Article eleven: free ticket in.

Jus' don' come visitin' hazel when you get here without calling first--I might shoot ya through my barred winders and trow ya to da swamp people... heheh

We aren't 'one' till you take advantage of Article 11.

What are swamp people please? and I thought u had to be born in the US to get to be president? didn't a person spend a lot of money saying that Borok, wasn't born in the US? ERR wasn't that Trump?

It might be fun having to learn how to fire a gun cause it would be amusing to see the people run when they realize I have a loaded gun and I don't see too well! LOL yeah I think I might like to have a few guns after all. Shoot someone that is ticking me off and say I didn't see him there I thought it was a bear comeing from the swamp! LOL

And the bars on the windows would screw up my view.

You'll have to ask BM about the swamp people, TQ. She seems to be the only person acquainted with them.

And if you take advantage of Article 11, you might well qualify for president on the basis of Canada then being part of the union. Of course, it might take a while to get the ruling from the courts about being grandfathered in, so to speak, but as long as you're not in a hurry....

btw, TQ, if you own a gun with the idea that you can shoot people and then blame poor eyesight, you aren't wise enough to own one. Good thing you live in Canada.

Actually hazel I could own a rifle here in Canada for hunting,,,I knew a guy that did! But that fact doesn't seem to keep Americans out of Canada so I don't know why I couldn't have a gun if I moved to America. *G* I've seen a lot of not wise people in the states that own guns. *S*
