@Hector Martinez It should be given to Canada because that stretch of the border doesn't make sense having to enter Canada to enter That part of the US

@Hector Martinez The Keys aren't INSIDE Cuba, Alaska isn't INSIDE Russia, and neither of them relied on an incorrect map to set their borders.

Did y'all not hear what they said? It was a mistake that was made when they were making the border. And the land is not as big (or profitable) as Alaska or Florida. 150 people live there, and it is more convenient for them to become a part of Canada. So let them join it will not make a difference to either country. It will just make the residents living there lives' easier.

@@Armyguywizerdo16 my bad, but still do you really think there are over three thousand people living here?

@Trev C These people are literally surrounded by Canada. If they think it's more beneficial to be part of Canada, why shouldn't they be allowed to do so?

@Trev C I couldn't care if it goes either way, A referendum would give them the freedom of choice rather than a pettion that COULD be beyond their control.

It's clear that since being Canadian is more convenient most want to join Canada.

Yes, when the residents obtain Canadian citizenship, they can have dual US-Canadian citizenship if they wish. The question I'd be curious to know the answer to is how would that Canadian citizenship be obtained? Would it be automatic as soon as the territory was officially transferred or would Canada make the residents go through the same process as any other immigrant?

go ahead@Nick

@Nick- I was born in Minnesota, but grew up in Washington State. Parents both from Guam. I totally agree with you. There isn't a country as diverse as America.

@michael b My question was about how Canadian citizenship would be obtained if Northwest Angle was ever ceded to Canada.

michael b This would be assuming that Canadian officials allow the use of the previous 5 years of living in the Northwest Angle to count as the 5 years in Canada requirement (which I would imagine, legally, to be probable if it did become Canadian territory). All someone would have to do then would be to fill out an application and get citizenship. I highly doubt they would just give it to everyone there as some could just move there to take advantage of the situation.

The current situation is inconveniencing the 120 people who live in Northwest Angle. They seem to believe that the most effective solution would be to make Northwest Angle part of Canada. This is likely because they have closer social and economic ties to the Canadian communities that surround them than to Minnesota. Ceding some land between Northwest Angle and the rest Minnesota to create a land route between them would only be a partial solution to the people of Northwest Angle and may cause problems for the people who currently live in or along any proposed route as well as cause logistical and transportation issues for people or companies that currently travel or ship goods through the area.

Guess you didn't think this through.... California's GDP is higher than all of Canada's and if they left, the red states would disolve. Like them or not, you need California.

A USA without California would surely collapse. The USA is a financial train wreck only being supported by faith in the treasury bonds and debt. California pays far more to the federal government than it receives. It creates an effect where California has to have moderately higher taxes than, for instance, Mississippi, to sustain itself, because Mississippi is receiving federal handouts while California is being forced to pay for them. This is because most red states are economically mismanaged, except for the ones with natural resources, like Alaska and Texas. Without California, the tax revenue would diminish. For instance, California paid $369B in federal taxes in 2014, according to the IRS, received just $356B . But that statistic has a deeper connotation. The US government is in a huge deficit right now, bolstered by the republican tax cuts. About $1,000,000,000,000 every year the US spends that they don't have. 4.4T budget versus 3.4T income. 4.4 is 129% of 3.4. Therefore, if government spending was proportional, California should be getting $476B. The loss of California to the US would create a situation where confidence in the US dollar, government, and treasury would fall, likely resulting in a recession, and the US cannot survive another recession when they're this deep in debt, this high in a deficit, and this low in interest rates.

California's GDP is larger than Canada's. If anything Canada could become a territory of California.

Not only is California's GDP larger than Canada's, it also has more people, at nearly 40 Million lol.
