You could do a follow up topic on how the Northwest Territory became Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin Territories and got statehood. That would work well with your maps and videos. I love historical maps. Plus you could tell us which cities like Cincinnati and Detroit are from older settlements and forts and which ones came later.

Well, if Minneapolis want to get rid of ICE their welcome to come back. We would never dare to try to take it, but the option could be open depending on how they feel about the choice. Aside, nice to see a realistic depiction of Rupert's Land

It looks like Ontario was part of Quebec back then.
