First I was excited thinking about South Canada and North Mexico, but unfortunately they screwed up the one opportunity in history to fix Oklahoma's awkward 'protrusion', so I can't with a clean conscience support and vote for this. Better luck next time.

Now build a land bridge and connect this up with Panama

I like this idea. However, I have one small issue: this river appears to go directly through my house...
