  1. I think you can drop the “North” part of it. Province of Dakota sounds just as good.
    🙂

  3. The Red River Basin used to be part of Rupert’s Land before they drew a straight line across the map.

  5. as it turns out – I’m a bit of a legend at Sonnys Bar & Grill in Noonan, ND. It involved a bike gang, a lot of bourbon, and a lot of joking around. No firearms were involved.

  6. Read the article. If flaring is a problem maybe tgey could build a pipeline or something…

  7. Senator Mary Landrieu (D, Louisana) was already implying this last June.
    “A smart fence, which is what Senator McCain and I want to build–since he’s from Arizona, I think he knows more about this than the Senator from South Dakota who only has a border with Canada and that is quite different,”

  8. Sounds like a good idea Kate. Between the provinces of Sask. & Dakota we’d control huge amounts of conventional oil and we both believe in frakking. And on a personal side my family have relatives in Dakota it would be nice to have us reunited. 🙂

  9. Sounds good to me. We have a lot more in common with N Dakota than we do with southern Ontario or Quebec.

  10. Canadian west’s manifest destiny is to bring true freemarkets and constitutional freedom back to the USSA. Let’s start by annexing the Bakken ND and SD have some first class Pheasant hunting and they are NRA red states, they will integrate into the new republic of western Canada 🙂

  11. Exactly.
    While we are at it, could we add a slice of Montana? Could be some great antelope hunting there.

  12. If we don’t carve out a share the Chinese most definetly will in years to come.
    Ya need to be quick, the Mexicans are filling up futher north each passing year.

  13. Who can blame the Americans for a fence?
    Between the Mexicans and Justin Bieber I’d want a North/ South Korean styled landmined DMZ on steroids!!!

  14. The sad fact of our joking may come true in a different form.I think there is a point States will just opt out of the USA socialist state or form small community’s.
    The large nation State has been killed by Obama, along with Patriotism.
    By a federal Government gone mad with power grabs for more power.

  15. I have been writing (slowly) a science fiction novel set far in the future, and I have been toying with the idea that the expedition has been sent out by the Republic of North-Central America, which consists of the Rocky Mountain states, the upper Midwest, and the prairie provinces. The idea sounds better and better.

  16. Don’t forget to include Northern Alberta and Northern BC as non zombie zones. Still holding out for sanity and no go zones for tree huggers.
