A group called “Christian moms against public education” started a petition on Change.org for the United States to sell Montana to Canada.

According to the listing on Change.org, “We have too much debt and Montana is useless. Just tell them it has beavers or something."

More than 7,600 people have signed the petition, which originally had a goal of 7,500 signatures but has since been revised to 10,000.

The note about the petition was originally posted to Reddit, and the person who started it was “just surprised that so many people have ‘backed’ my cause,” according to an update.

Well - I've heard it all now. Maybe they could throw in Washington state too.

1. Perhaps they should just leave the US

and go someplace where their kind of thinking is more popular. We, here in Montana, aren't interested in being sold to Canada. I wonder which state they are in, maybe we could get more for their state, Canada already has a whole bunch of what Montana's got, wouldn't get much for all this land and National Parks and much of the water the western half of the US needs. Aside from that, we have beavers or something.




What mindless human being came up with that ignorant idea?

2. Can't we sell them South Carolina instead?

I like Montana - had a good time there this past summer. If we sell South Carolina to Canada, it would give Canadian snowbirds a place to spend winter, and we'd get rid of Lindsey Graham - win/win I say!

7. The slideshow says it originally came from Reddit...

...so yeah, I'm thinking it's a circle of jerks razzing Montana more than a real thing.

17. It probably is satire

But sadly in the Trump era satire and reality have been blurred to the extent that our reality is also our satire. That sort of a double-down on irony.

There could be sky above for the flat earthers on the other side...

And if there's stuff on the other side shouldn't it the Poker Chip Earth Society?

11. Better to sell North Dakota to the Canadians.

Less scenery and the Rethugs would lose two senators.
