O'Eleventh Province, I'm a proud new Canadian

Shall our neighbor to the Great White North become our fifty-first state? To be proudly crowned their eleventh province might prove a better fate Fresh air, clear lakes and grand vistas not to be beat Maro-O-largo/Maple Leaf Hotel would make such a grand winter retreat Call me a Tory turncoat if you must and I'll heartily agree Oh Canada, my Canada, I'll stand on guard for thee!

Robert I admire your Patriotism and rightfully so. Love your parody logic and much respect for your unwavering support of your Canada. Don't these politicians have more important things to do then meddle in another countries affairs. You would expect an uproar from your constituents but not that I have seen, much expressed. Thank you for posting...

Hi Michael, I'm still a yank, however I admire Canada's sober outlook. With all the nuttiness in Mexico and the US, I consider Canada the designated driver of North America, thanks for your visit. Robert

You guys have the best of both worlds over there Robert, even a new gulf of America, which is probably causing the major gulf in erm America, one can but only laugh, the alternative is an even bigger laugh as you point out in this sardonically brilliant piece, cheers David

Thanks David, I looked up "erm" not in the dictionary. Renaming the world atlas, Planet Trump not to be negotiated. Cheers, Robert

better living in a Canadian Province than down here in a 'state' of confusion, lol. I'm thinking about your comment as I sip on my Canadian Club A clever query, your response as refreshing as a Canadian Mints. Cheers!
