There's apparently a move afoot in Canada to have the Turks & Caicos Islands join up as the country's 11th province. It's currently a British Crown Colony, so it's not exactly a done deal, but from the news article I read there's support on both sides of the aisle. If there's a topic that an Albertan conservative and a Quebecois liberal can agree on, you have to think there's something to it.
There is something mildly humorous about Canada having a province that isn't ice-bound 10 months out of the year, but there are plenty of retirees and snowbirds who are probably phoning their MP to get the deal done.
