How much is Canada to buy? Can you ship it to the UK?

Frankly, it'd be easier to move UK to Canada.
That'd be a real Brexit!

We could also fit France nicely into Quebec. We might have to jiggle it a bit
to keep it from spilling over into Labrador though.

Hey! But you're an US Citizen!
Canadia still not being officialy your Province, you can't decide this!

Much more; our TGV fast train tracks (200 MPH) would be incompatible with all
yours snail trains LOL!!!

I enjoyed the trains very much on my visit to France last summer - except for
the last day when the RER B from Paris couldn't get past Le Bourget and I
had to take a hack cab to De Gaulle! Cost me €50 and I came close to missing
my flight!!

That's only part of the story LOL!!!

Oh yes, RER is often a shame here.

Right now RER D is more or less closed for work construction and repairs, and
this for weeks IIRC - not sure, I don't live in Paris, but people told me.

Mwah. Looks like the French can't even build new trains that are compatible
with their own infra...

That was in 2014, don't remember well this, but don't you think it's
more: "Should we build faster and quieter trains OR keep the current obsolete
infrastructure?"

While this, 1h47 of pleasure.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3rX-zAiyWg

In the drivers' cabin of a TGV Paris to Strasbourg (500 km / 300 mi), the
complete travel.

It starts accelerating at about 12:00
Speed's shown in the middle in km/h (divide by 1.6 for miles or like 300
km/h = 200 mph)

When I was 18 maybe, I had the chance to make an 1 hour trip with in the driver
cabin.

That was in 1980 maybe, these were possible, like flying with the pilot in a
plane. Of course nowadays...

The U.S. purchased Alaska from Russia and Trump tried to buy Greenland from Denmark
so buying Canada isn't that far out of the question.

Logical. We'll know both Greenland and Canada are basically inhabited but
sparsely populated with a few rare and weird animals species...

Decades ago some friends and I put Canada up for sale on eBay. It got some good
bidding before it was pulled.

Of all the replies, none address your question 24 hours later

As to adding or removing countries, Jack

Some advise: Useful then play or playfully useful, but be of use. I don't

It had been three hours and I'm pretty sure that if he head searched the
forum he would have found the answer (if not for Canada specifically, then other
countries).

I think part of the problem is that the question is so broad that answering it
seriously would require making a tutorial but thank you for linking to an existing
one so the original poster can read it if necessary.

Would also like to offer shipping to Canada as I get many request to open the
gates.

Within the states we are typically dealing with package rates from $3.79 (4oz)
to $7.15 (15.9oz).

To Canada alone looks like 17.00 for first oz. retail and close to $30 for cheapest
flat rate options.

Question is who is really ordering at these high shipping rates, and why.

Pirate ship starts at closer to ~$15 usd pretty sure as the few times I’ve order
from the USA it’s always been ~$10-~$15

It’s pirate ships simple export rate. Yes often some tweaking is needed and as
for customs duties it’s quite normal in Canada and most expect to pay it whenever
buying outside of Canada but the same would apply to any country outside the
USA
