This business of blue states joining Canada is rich. Please keep it up; begging would be delightful.
Actually there is a somewhat academic book published some years ago by Mike Adams called Sex in the Snow which discusses the apparent values congruence between the blue states and most but not all of Canada. I say most because there is a pocket of know-nothing evangelical morons in Alberta (currently damaging only their own community institutions and nobody else's) and a tiny knot of even more know-nothings in the Fraser Valley east of Vancouver barely 50 miles from where all those same-sex marriages are being conducted. They are completely surrounded and without prospect of reinforcement. There is also the small matter of the entirety of Quebec which is far to the left of anything seen in the US since the Weathermen. Speaking of which, where are they when you need them most? Where have you gone Mark Ruud? Where are the Armstrong Bros. now? In Canada, blue means reactionary and also beer. Thats about right don't you think? Red is the sacred international colour of revolution. Once again out of step are we? Alas, having reviewed your application with the standard offer of bribes and inducements, we don't want you. Besides you are second in line. The poor Turks and Caicos Islands have been trying off and on for decades to join with pathetic beach-filled blandishments but they have been repeated rebuffed. However your indigent grandparents can still buy their medications and flu shots here at reasonable prices. Charity for the poor is important -- just keep on sending your trailer-park people up on buses as you have been doing. We will look after them if you won't. No, you will have to stew in your own juices until done. Consider it punishment for very bad international behaviour for 225 years not only in Iraq but also including Chile, Venezuela, especially Vietnam, Cambodia, Dominican Republic, Panama, the Phillippines, the Halls of Montezuma, the shores of Tripoli, Beirut, Somalia, Mexico, etc. etc. not to mention the burning of my beloved city of Toronto in 1813. Oh yes, we did get even for that one didn't we. The smell of the White House in flames in the morning was said to be most bracing. YOU MIGHT TRY IT ON FOR SIZE YOURSELVES.
