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.

Check out this handy website for more info.
