murraysovereign Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Did you know Trinindad and Tobago at one time in the late 80's applied to become a Canadian province? Â I think that was the Turks and Caicos Islands. It bubbles up again from time to time, last was just a couple of years ago. Â That's my nit-pick for today. Carry on. Quote
billcoe Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Did you know Trinindad and Tobago at one time in the late 80's applied to become a Canadian province? Â ______________________________________________________ Â I think Alabama and Mississippi tried that as well and were roundly rebuffed. Â Far as that goes, there are only a handful of citizens in those 2 states who can even spell Soccur. - socer. - Â socker. - Â soccker. - Â soker. - Â soccerr. - Â socceer, WTF? Â Football. Quote
G-spotter Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Damn Murray, you're right. Although I'd prefer T+T to T+C anyday. Â Proposed union with Canada Main article: Proposals for new Canadian provinces and territories A great many of the tourists who visit the islands are Canadian. Owing to this, the islands' status as a British colony, and historic trade links, some politicians in Canada and the Turks and Caicos have suggested some form of union between the two countries. Â In 1973, Canadian New Democratic Party Member of Parliament Max Saltsman introduced the first failed attempt at consolidating the islands. Â The idea was brought up again in 1986 by Progressive Conservative MP Dan McKenzie, but it was rejected by his party's caucus committee on external affairs in 1987. The committee, chaired by MP David Daubney, looked at immigration, banking, health care, and tourism issues in making its decision. Â In 2004, Conservative MP Peter Goldring visited the Turks and Caicos to explore the possibility once more. Â For the islands to join Canada as a full province would require amending the Canadian constitution, which is considered highly unlikely. The last new province, Newfoundland and Labrador, was brought into the country in 1949 by an act of British Parliament. Joining as a territory would be easier, as territories can be created by an act of federal law. In addition, its population of less than 20,000 people is considered insufficient for provincial status. However, this attitude may change should the territories of Yukon or Nunavut - both with about 30,000 people each - ever become provinces. Â In 2004, the province of Nova Scotia voted to invite Turks and Caicos to join the province, should the islands ever become part of Canada. This would bypass the problems with admitting Turks and Caicos as a separate province. (CBC) Quote
G-spotter Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Altho it does mention here that T+T along with much of the Carribean has been considered for provincial status at various times. Personally I still agree with the Rhino Party free trade platform of free trading PEI to the US in return for Hawaii.
