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.

(86,963 posts)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?
