   Once annexed by Canada, the slightly-distressed 50 states will be combined into one large province, to be re-named “South Manitoba”. Plans will then commence to distribute Maple Leaf flags and Swiss Chalet restaurants from the 49th parallel all the way down to the region formerly known as Texas.

     I've already started learning the #Canadian national anthem, "O Canada". I figure it will be useful to know when either #Canada annexes #USA or we need to flee to Canada.
