What's Wrong With Montana? Petition Gains Steam Asking To Sell It To Cover National Debt

(WWJ) An effort to sell Montana to Canada -- which we can only imagine is tongue-in-cheek -- is gaining steam in the world of the internet.

The creator of the change.org petition says we could unload it to pay for the national debt.

"We have too much debt and Montana is useless," the petition reads. As for getting Canada to go for the deal, "Just tell them it has beavers or something," 

He even included a map of what the North America would look like if Montana belonged to our neighbor to the north.

So yeah or nah for Montana, Canada? https://t.co/s8dyuv6S3T

Nearly 9,000 people, and counting, have signed on the dotted line.

The Great Falls Tribune in Montana took it with a laugh, asking "Are you trying to hurt our feelings, man?"

They also asked if they get to keep Yellowstone National Park, whether they had to learn French and why Alaska wasn't targeted as it "doesn't even touch the other states."
