Thought maybe there was a Florida successionist movement I hadn't heard about, but then with all the Canadians already here, plus the TD and BMO banks, etc, we're already a province, aren't we? :)

Didn't realize there was a T&C tie. Interesting.

Eleventh? Maybe I'm missing something but aren't there more than ten already?

3 units are still territories rather than provinces.

The detractors are saying that we will have to pay for social services to the 30,000 residents and potentially have those same people as environmental refugees as the intensity and frequency of tropical storms increase.

With just 30,000 ppl, better to make the T&C a territory, but by all means, bring them in to confederation.
