Brad Wall Might Have A Great Idea Here

   It's certainly not a new idea, though, first promulgated in 1917. It would see the Caribbean Island nation of Turks and Caicos become Canada's 11th province. And why not? A chance for a sunshine destination within Canada in the winter? Our own version of Hawaii? Who wouldn't like that idea.
   Apparently, the Canadian government. The current Harper government was approached by officials of the island, who pitched the idea of the merger. Only to be told "no thanks". The former Chretien government also thumbs-downed the proposal.
   Enter Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall. He's suggesting (perhaps with tongue in cheek, but then again maybe not) that our province annex Turks and Caicos to form what Mr. Wall calls "Saskatchewarm", adding that would mean the end of the "easy to draw, hard to
hard to pronounce" quip about our province.
   Personally, I think the idea should be taken seriously by the Feds. Yes, there would be a cost involved, but just think of the economic spin-offs. Plus the fact we've just come out of one of the coldest winters in decades. That alone should be reason enough to give it serious thought.
   But I must admit, I do like the idea of Saskatchewarm.
