Tbh I just want it because it's weird and bothers the latent ocd in me. But it's pretty much guaranteed America will never give it up to Canada. Unless we find some way to take like Kansas or some state smack in the middle of the US hostage.

If nothing else, it would at least make them as uncomfortable when looking at their maps and seeing a random ass "CANADA" in the middle of their country
Yeah... sorry Canada. You’ll have to do better than Kansas or West Virginia if you want to trade for Alaska. Poor Hawaii... aka Florida- won’t really work either. Everyone knows Canada is a softie so Americans could still visit Florida and you’d have to deal with all the... Florida. So it’s a win win for us. Plus The largest most powerful nation and Army is centered in Florida. Disney World. No one fucks with the mouse- the US government gave them the land the park is on to run by Disney Law. That’s how serious that shit is. You could take California. Most of America would celebrate having it gone until they realized its importance as a port, domestic oil producer and refiner, and major source of agriculture and economics. So it would take a few years for many states to realize and then 10 more for them to swallow their pride- but they’d want it back. Plus like 75% of college kids and hipsters/techies in the state already want to “totally move to Canada” so there wouldn’t be much fight
I'm too lazy to make my own list, so I'm going to use the one this person provided (link will be at the end):

There were other skirmishes prior to this iirc, but since Canada didn't really exist as an independent country until 1864-1867 those are mostly considered British wars
I dont mean to be a dick but while yall "won" a lot of these wars most of them were really another country doing mostly everything while yall just sent a handful of soldiers to hangout.
@trashmanrevenge- meh. It’s still Canada. Let em have it. Canada is like that one Baldwin brother. His resume shows a ton of A list collaborations and everyone finds him inofesnively charming- but he’s not Alec and you aren’t going to see any block busters listing his name on the poster- so why not let the Lil guy enjoy all the fans that came to his meet and greet at the Chilles bar and grill off of the 210 near Covina- Sunday from 7:30am to 9am in the tapas room before brunch?
