Petition aims to reduce national debt by selling Montana to Canada

(KABB/WOAI) — A petition with thousands of signatures calls on the United States to sell the state of Montana to reduce the national debt.

A group calling itself "Christian moms against private education" started a petition on Change.org to sell Montana to Canada for $1 trillion. The U.S. national debt is currently $22 trillion.

"We have too much debt and Montana is useless. Just tell them it has beavers or something," the petition's page reads.
