While scooting through the InterTubes this afternoon I came across a link to tonights CBC movie “Trojan Horse” over at Woman at Mile 0.

It reminded me of a post I did a few years ago referencing Article 11 of the US Articles of Confederation which reads like this:

Canada acceding to this confederation, and adjoining in the measures of the United States, shall be admitted into, and entitled to all the advantages of this Union; but no other colony shall be admitted into the same, unless such admission be agreed to by nine States.

(emphasis mine)

Yes folks, any other place that wanted to enter the union needed the agreement of 9 other states but Canada was pre-approved.

In addition to the short on the CBC site, here’s another.
