Even just the 10 provinces would be a big change.

If Canada joined as multiple states it would be interesting…

You could probably grind the penguins into something useful.

The endangered species act actually needs some updates. As it stands, it incentivizes people who discover an endangered species on their land to shovel and shut up rather than conservation.
