I think we would be better off calling it the 4th territory, not the 11th province myself.

Actually no, make Alaska the 4th territory, and the rest of the US the 5th, just to rub salt in the wounds.

I think America is better not calling canada an entire state

Oh for sure, its such a bad joke it doesn't even swing back to being funny.

At the rate he's tanking things over there though, Canada might be able to buy a fair amount of territory once the guillotines come out though.
