To the editor: With our inhabitants being solely one-ninth of the U.S., I doubt that we’d have a lot affect in an amalgamated nation (“Sure, America completely ought to annex Greenland and Canada. Right here’s why,” Michael Hiltzik column, April 2). As an alternative, I suggest that Canada ought to invite chosen states to affix us. We’ll take California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. The NFL groups in these states should forfeit their franchises and be part of the Canadian Soccer League.

To the editor: How about making every Canadian province and territory a separate state? Most are left-leaning and including 26 senators and a handful of representatives to Congress might solely be good for Democrats. We might even let Quebec keep unbiased since Trump has made English the official language. According to renaming issues (Gulf of America) we might name ourselves the US of North America.
