@DoomsdaysCW I suggested something similar on Mastodon and was instantly shot down by Canadians.
@jackyan Ugh. Well, Maine was once part of Canada not too long ago...
@DoomsdaysCW Depends what you mean by 'Maine'. Originally part of Massachusetts, approximately the northern third of present Maine (often referred to generally as Aroostook) was in dispute between the US and Britain for about half a century before present borders were agreed. That's the main (or at least original) reason it's less developed than surrounding areas. Various parts of Maine have been under various powers at different times, including France, GB, and the short-lived Acadian republic.
