If you could carve out a piece of Canada and make it YOURS, which piece would you take and why?

I have a couple of suggestions to get the ol' thinkin' box working:

1. The cool overpass thing on an intersection of the 401: I would declare as provincial law that there be a .01 cent tax levied on all motorists passing through my province.

2. I would take Vancouver Island: It is already cut off from the mainland, so all I would have to do is change some flags over and mark my territory like a wolf. I think it would take quite a bit of coffee...

3. An oilpatch in Alberta: HELLOOOOO, gas at 94.9 here. It's like a liscence to print money. Look at crazy ol' Klein!

4. Thunder Bay, since I am pretty sure Ontario wouldn't miss it.

The Tantalus range, up by Squamish. It's stunning. I could hike it forever.

NO TRESPASSERS!

All of it...

I'd probably take PEI and float it off to sea.

I'll take Ellesmere Island... who's going to dispute it?

But really, I'd like to take the Ottawa Valley... there is just something old and wise about it...

I'd like to own my neighbours niece's ass for a while. She's 19 and fucking gorgeous. And I don't just call anyone that. Anyways it won't happen even in my dreams.

I'd like to own the,..cemetary,... at the 401 and 427. Anybody ever notice that. Got to be a dozen or so tombstones there. Anybody?

Niven, outside Yellowknife. Overlooking the lake and old town, beautiful. The rocks, the fishing, away from people.... The northern lights in the winter. The wildlife, ranging from Ptarmagin to Arctic fox.....

My wife would leave me of course... but what can ya do, its the nicest piece of country in Canada

hmm, definately go up north, take the ice, and make a giant igloo, from a slow moving glacier, than in years time, it will get sqwooshed, craving a valley I shall call my own.. after i get something to melt it...give it some years.. 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, however long it takes!

I like the long sandy beaches along the west coast of Ontario. Beautiful orange sunsets, the surf rolling in, the warm summer nights. Plust the beautiful hiking territory as you go north from Southhampton and Sauble Beach to the Bruce Peninsula

Absolutely gorgeous!. this would be my Canada.

Powderedmaggot

The west coast of Ontario? Where the fuck is that? I always thought Ontario's only coast line was in Hudson Bay. I would consider that to be North coast.

Janey

that's what the entire beach strand from bayfield (near Sarnia)to Bruce peninsula is called.
