    Can we tilt it a bit, maybe let Mexico have Oregon and Idaho and let Canada have Georgia and Florida? Canadians need a place to hit the beach in the winter without needing a passport, and some Mexicans would love to move somewhere where it never got hot. Plenty of Canadian retirees already live in Florida part time.

        Could we maybe somehow still have Orlando and Daytona Beach? Like just that one part, where all the fun is? Maybe it’s an EEC free zone or something. We’ll give it to Greenland and Denmark as tribute, they are a bunch of bros those guys and gals.

        And every snowbird employs 20 Latinos who are there year round raising families. South Floridas demographics have higher representation from like 10 other Latin American countries before Mexican though, so maybe it should be it’s own sort of city state with the rest going to Mexico.
