700...Eleventh Province

When it is plus 35 it is hard to focus on the need for a warm [note to those living in Victoria: your city is not warm in the middle of winter it is just less cold] place for Canadians to park their butts and their money during the middle of yet another freeeeeeezing winter.

This morning's Globe and Mail is trying to sharpen that focus with a piece on the ongoing want and need of the Turks and Caicos Islands to find a home inside our native land.

The idea of annexing the small chain of islands, population of which is about the size of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan at 36,000, has been bandied about since the time of Sir Robert Borden, circa World War One.

Right now the Islands are going through a bit of a corruption scandal and are looking for a place to call home.
