Talk about bad investments. I’m pretty sure it comes with the residents, and nobody in their right mind wants those.

Canada is already buying considerable chunks of Detroit.

I doubt we could pay them enough to take it.

Why in the world would Canada, or anyone for that matter, want the giant error that is Detroit?

One potential upside- because the current residents are not Canadian citizens, they wouldn’t be allowed to vote for mayor or council.

Detroit is the only city in the US that lies north of Canada. Canada wouldn’t possibly want to eliminate that distinction.

Detroit is upside down. Liabilities exceed assets. Expenses exceed income.

Banks won’t complete foreclosures, because then they own the property and have to start spending money on the worthless asset.

A British/Canadian army captured Detroit without firing a shot during the War of 1812. At the end of the war, they made us take it back. This is why we lost that war.

If Canada buys Detroit they have to take the populous, there is no deal unless they take them all.

If they agree to that, they can have it for a Canadian dollar IMO.

Hey now, that’s just meanspirited!

Canadians might be poor tippers at USA restaurants, but no need to punish their whole country for how a few clueless and rude tourists act in public!

Can we give Detroit to Mexico? It would be a refreshing change of affairs for us to give them our problems and not the other way around.
