I’ve driven through Montana once and I spent a night in Butte, but that’s the extent of my experiences in that MASSIVE state that borders Canada.
And speaking of Canada, a petition has emerged online that is calling for the United States to sell Montana to Canada for $1 trillion to help pay off America’s huge debt.
The petition started off as kind of a joke on Reddit but it took on a life of its own and as of this writing it has been signed over 19,000 times.
The petition says: “We have too much debt and Montana is useless. Just tell them it has beavers or something.”
Sounds like a plan, eh?
And here are some of the responses to the petition gaining traction online.

Probably not a good idea if you happen to LIVE in Montana, but…

What do you think? We especially want to hear from the folks who actually live in Montana.
I mean, yeah, it’s a joke… but what about selling off a PRIME chunk of land to pay off some debt? Is that the worst idea in the world?
