Title: Will British Columbia become the 51st State?
Post by: Suga Foot on May 06, 2005, 08:46:01 AM: we're going through a provincial election campaign right now, and there's something like 45 different parties running, one of them that I found interesting was the BC Annexation Party (http://www.annexationbc.com/), they basically want BC to become the 51st state. I know it is very unlikely, but to me, a resident of BC, they do make some good points. I ended up looking at the site for over an hour, it seems that people in BC have been trying this since 1869.

But seriousily, I wouldn't like to see it mainly becuase of sports. Hockey man, I love cheering for Canada. But they do got some good points, but I love being a Canadian!

For those of us who already live here, it's just another day, but I don't think yall wouldn't adjust too well. Nothing against yall Canadians cause yall are like a large Minnesota...but to break off of a very liberal society and enter an ever growing conservative society probably wouldn't work too well.

Don't fall for that Gilles Duceppe/Bernard Landry propaganda. Canada is a great country and Quebec has been part of Canada longer than any other province. Quebec will never seperate.
