Can we tilt it a bit, maybe let Mexico have Oregon and Idaho and let Canada have Georgia and Florida? Canadians need a place to hit the beach in the winter without needing a passport, and some Mexicans would love to move somewhere where it never got hot. Plenty of Canadian retirees already live in Florida part time.

You can't take the Florida out of Florida man.

We don't want Florida.

Could we maybe somehow still have Orlando and Daytona Beach? Like just that one part, where all the fun is? Maybe it's an EEC free zone or something. We'll give it to Greenland and Denmark as tribute, they are a bunch of bros those guys and gals.

Economically this is a huge win for Canada, Atlanta is the business heart of the south and Florida gets the tourism money

There are already so many snowbirds in Florida that its almost another canadian province.

Welllll we would debate the 'canadianness' of people visiting Florida. They're probably Albertans. :-p

Won't be many Albertans. Florida is kind of a pain in the ass to get to from Alberta, and you have to go through Pearson and nobody wants to go through Pearson.

Albertans are mostly found in Scottsdale. Probably a little swath of the older ones in Palm Springs.

My arrogant-as-fuck realtor uncle has a place in Palm Springs. For at least my family's case, you totally nailed it.

And every snowbird employs 20 Latinos who are there year round raising families. South Floridas demographics have higher representation from like 10 other Latin American countries before Mexican though, so maybe it should be it's own sort of city state with the rest going to Mexico.
