TORONTO – Detroit made history Thursday afternoon becoming the largest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy. If the bankruptcy filing is approved, the city’s assets may be liquidated in a massive auction to repay the city’s estimated $14-20 billion debt. But rather than seeing the former hub of North America’s automotive industry picked clean by creditors, Global News puts forth another suggestion:
What if Canada just buys Detroit, warts and all?

I suspect if I bought Detroit for a dollar and set fire to the whole city I could sell it at a considerable profit.
Beat me to it.
DAMN YER EYES
Don’t forget
YOur country Canada you have so many dollars in your pocket has sponder to work and live there in order stay in Canada that what I hear
HA HA HA
That good one
BOY Doctor Detriot was on other day on Bounce TV
After 5 years of Obama, and relatively good government in Canada, the Canadian dollar is roughly par.
All we need is a few weeks of good US government, and we will have the usual.
I like Canadians. Not quite sure why they sold out their freedoms for a mess of stewed potage, and wish them luck, hoping they can recover from that.
I like Americans. Not quite sure why some seem to want to sell out their freedoms for a mess of stewed potage. Wish us luck, and hope we can recover from that.
The problem of Socialism is eventually you run out of other people’s money.
Detroit has more dirt in it than any hole you ever saw.
I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are trying to say.
We already have Alex Trebek, Michael J. Fox, and Avril Lavigne.
Now, that's funny.
Good point. They deserve a bankrupt city. They probably don’t even realize it.
Huh??!!

Your comment makes zero sense. Newfoundland is a “have province” thanks to natural resources, has extremely friendly people, and great music.

Never heard Newfie jokes, eh?
I’ve heard lots of Newfie jokes—I haven’t heard any Detroit jokes. One more reason to prefer keepind Nfld.

Perhaps you can translate that to American for me.
