I have family there, and they keep telling me to move in with them for a few years. I was born in Saulte Sainte Marie on Kincheloe USAFB and I have the Yooper/Canadian accent anyway. I live 20 minutes from the bridge, and I have a friend who works at the border. I could still see my docs here in Michigan, and my poor college students would take my house for a while. It's just crazy. I feel like I live in bizzarro world right now. I have family in Windsor, Montreal and Toronto. It's been a few years since I have seen them.

u/owossome Feb 16 '25

For anyone wondering what would be needed for this to happen...

Let me walk through this hypothetical scenario step by step:

Constitutionally, there is no specific established mechanism for a U.S. state to unilaterally secede to another country, but given the new interpretation of the constitution and its application under the current administration, there is now a potential open window.

The process would require several major steps:

  1. Congressional Approval: Both houses of Congress would need to pass legislation approving Michigan's secession and transfer to Canada.

  2. Constitutional Amendment: Since state borders and territory are constitutionally protected, a constitutional amendment would likely be required. This needs:

    • Two-thirds approval in both houses of Congress
    • Ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures (38 states)
  3. Canadian Acceptance: Canada would need to:

    • Agree to accept Michigan as a province
    • Pass necessary legislation through Parliament
    • Potentially amend their constitution to accommodate a new province
  4. Michigan State Action:

    • State legislature approval
    • Likely a state referendum
    • Negotiations on state debt, federal property, and infrastructure
  5. International Treaties:

    • New border agreements
    • Revisions to USMCA (formerly NAFTA)
    • Military/defense arrangements
    • Great Lakes management treaties
  6. Practical Considerations:

    • Currency transition
    • Citizenship status of Michigan residents
    • Federal property transfer
    • Military base realignment
    • Social Security and federal benefit transitions
    • Great Lakes water rights renegotiation

This scenario is largely theoretical, as no U.S. state has successfully seceded since the Civil War, and Supreme Court precedent. Texas did make an attempt (Texas v. White, 1869) but failed as they had no allies, they were seeking independence and the law established that independent state secession is unconstitutional.

Being purchased however is a well established route of transfer. In 1867, the United States purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million, or roughly 2 cents per acre. The deal, negotiated by Secretary of State Wiliam H. Seward and Russian minister Edouard de Stoeckl, was controversial and dubbed "Seward's Folly".Ā The purchase added 586,412 square miles of land to the United States, more than double the size of Texas, and secured American access to the Pacific Ocean.Ā 

A purchase of Michigan by Canada would face significantly less constitutional and legal hurdles, but would require a great deal of coordination:

  1. U.S. Constitutional Requirements:
  2. Congressional approval through both houses
  3. Constitutional amendment likely required since it involves ceding U.S. territory
  4. Supreme Court review probable
  5. Federal government would need to negotiate on behalf of the U.S.

  6. Negotiation Elements:

  7. Purchase price determination

  8. Federal assets valuation (military bases, postal facilities, federal buildings)

  9. Treatment of federal debt obligations

  10. Great Lakes rights and water management

  11. Infrastructure ownership transfer

  12. Natural resource rights

  13. State-Level Process:

  14. Michigan state legislature approval

  15. State referendum likely required

  16. Negotiation of state assets and debts

  17. Public employee pension obligations

  18. State property transfer arrangements

  19. Canadian Requirements:

  20. Parliamentary approval

  21. Provincial reorganization legislation

  22. Constitutional provisions for new province

  23. Budget allocation for purchase

  24. Integration planning

  25. Citizenship Considerations:

  26. Options for Michigan residents (dual citizenship possibilities)

  27. Immigration/naturalization process

  28. Property rights preservation

  29. Business entity transitions

  30. International Agreements:

  31. Border treaty modifications

  32. Trade agreement adjustments

  33. Defense arrangements

  34. Environmental protection treaties

  35. Great Lakes management

  36. Economic/Financial:

  37. Currency transition planning

  38. Banking system integration

  39. Tax system harmonization

  40. Public debt responsibility

  41. Property deed transfers

This type of territorial purchase, has a historical precedent like the Alaska Purchase.

There's no direct historical comparison for this type of purchase between two developed nations in the modern era but it could be done. The U.S. has purchased territories fairly recently as countries go (Alaska from Russia, Louisiana from France), the sale of an existing state would not be unprecedented.
