For sure! We just had a national election and nothing changed.

Now, since we were the inventors of the telephone (Graham Bell's homestead
is within an hours drive of my house), I guess we get first dibbs on
country code=1

The United States of America should feel free to obtain a new country code,
the new code would be tranparent for all dialing within the country and you
would get the additional room that the current Canadian area codes use.

Bon Chance!
