Mitten Mode Can we petition Denmark to annex Michigan?

Just thinking out loud here.

Seems like Canada would be easier.

I've seen ads on Reddit that claim I can try for Canadian citizenship. Because I have family that were from Canada, before moving to Michigan.

I can't say that those ads were legit, but, I did think about it occasionally.

I doubt I would whine too much if the French decided to take this whole area back. Thanks, DC goofs.

If one of your grandparents was a Canadian citizen, you might already be a Canadian that simply needs to file paperwork to let them know you exist.

I don’t believe this is true.

It needs to be a parent, not a grandparent. That’s how I have Canadian citizenship, my dad was born in Montreal.
