Hey everyone.

I finally got tired of hearing so many people talk about wishing the Turks and Caicos were ours, and now I'm trying to make it a reality.

Please sign this petition and spread the word. If you're up to it, contact your local MP as well. Let's get our islands in the sun already!

http://www.petitiononline.com/pressgng/petition.html

I've already contacted my MP and Lawrence Cannon, and I intend on making a facebook petition/group of sorts just to drive the point home. Even without pressure, support for joining with Canada still hovers around 60%!

Sincerely,

Arctic_Menace

I figured that most Canadians would get behind this. We get our own warm place in the Caribbean. :P

Of course not! Canadians just want a chain of tropical islands to call their own. :P

Besides, the Turks and Caicos are small, and would be incredibly easy to manage.

Would it be a full annexation, or we merely provide administration to what is otherwise a sovereign territory?

I.e. will it be the 11th province?

Can we take the Bermuda, Barbados, and the West Indies Federation while we're at it?

That would probably be worked out between both sides if it ever got to the debate table. Also, Nova Scotia voted in 2004 to let the islands become part of Nova Scotia to bypass those tricky constitutional issues/amendments.

Signed. Curious about why the Government has shown no interest in this in the past though. Might be a high Cost involved that we're overlooking. Even so, it can't be so high that it's insurmountable and given the potential benefits it seems worth the risks.

I'm not so sure now that we should do this now.

If this happens, after a few years, the islands will probably be entirely populated by old retired Canadians in speedos and bikinis... or even worse.......!!! PDT_Armataz_01_32

At least they'd be in Canada, and not Florida. :wink:

Huh? We nearly added the Turks & Caicos 20 years ago. Hopefully this will be the correction of an error previously made.

I doubt they'd allow too much population growth.
