You don't know how funny that really is. Here in NNY there have been 
proposals in the past (so far none that were really serious) for the 
Northern part of the state to secede for the US and become part of Canada. 
My own contribution to the idea was to call our new province "Upper York". 
:) BTW By my own estimation (others have put it higher), 70% of the hikers 
in the Adirondack High Peaks on a holiday weekend are Canadians. If we were 
part of Canada, at least they would be helping pay for the park they are using.
