    I just visited T&C in August 2023. A local young lady told me that they were also once a part of The Bahamas, but this video did not expound on that fact. Such a beautiful, relaxing, and friendly place!

    Names comes from well known Turks (Ottoman Empire) . It founded by turkish pirates. Before Colombus found America. Caicos comes from turkish word kayık means bout or small ship. Thats real fact.Turkish Fez hat first make in 19 th century that doesnt explain name.

    I'm from the Turks and Caicos Islands and that second explanation as to how the islands got their name is bullshit. you got it right the first time.

    The Turks and Caicos Islands would join Canada using the same provisions in the Canadian Constitution that were used for P.E.I, B.C., and Newfoundland. However, before 1982, Canada needed Westminster support. Since the patriation of the Canadian Constitution in 1982, that is no longer necessary.
    There would be no change of Head of State, if the Turks and Caicos Islands were to become part of Canada. Both the U.K. and Canada are constitutional monarchies, ruled by Queen Elisabeth.

    Would it make more sense for Turks and Caicos to join Bahamas instead of Canada? The islands are just a southeastern extension of the Bahama Archipelago.

    • @SebastiansFacts
      @SebastiansFacts  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Probably, but.. Canada is a lot richer and more powerful than the Bahamas, so it's thus more tempting to join them. On the other hand Canada doesn't have any territories outside the mainland, which is strategically a disadvantage (at least when it comes to world politics/economics). Plus Canada is cold, and the Turks and Caicos are definitely not.. so, you get the idea :)

      we dont desalinate water. Where I lived in South Caicos they have wells and huge concrete room like structures built in the ground with just the waist high exposed out the ground and my Grandma said they used to dip water out the tanks and wells with small buckets tide to long ropes and poured them into bigger buckets. Salt was dried in giant ponds and racked them during slavery. mary prince talked about it in her autobiography

    When you talk about the T&C and this wacky Canadian idea that comes up from time to time of "annexation", you do not mention the agreement of the government in London, which is perhaps the most important of all. Believe me, Ottawa would back away from any potential punch-up with the UK - particularly over such a half baked idea.
