Turks and Caicos talking for the second time apparently about joining Canada. Canada get in here, what’s this all aboot?
Thanks to the recent visit of Turks and Caicos Premier Rufus Ewing, Canadians are once again fantasizing about the idea of inviting this tropical paradise into the federation fold as a new Canadian province or territory. This despite Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird throwing cold Atlantic water on the idea by saying, “we’re not in the business of annexing islands in the Caribbean.”
What? Okay, well cool for you Canada, you could complete step one of becoming an empire, and why not? You’re the only damn country in the world right now whose economy is actually doing well, you’re not on the verge of war with some other country, or in the crossfire of countries or peoples on the verge or at war with each other. You’re doing pretty good from what I can tell. Have yourself a Caribbean island.
