Even if it could be done I see a major issue with no solution, what do you do with Quebec?
Democrats would love it, GOP would not pick up many votes
I don’t want to have to deal with the Quebecois any more than the Canucks do.
Also, to ensure continuity with our hallowed universal-health-care ideals, we Canadians would be provided with “fraud-proof health cards, valid anywhere in the 50 states, 10 provinces or three territories. Americans would not be entitled to this benefit.”
I mean, that's just adorable in so many ways. I have strong doubts as to whether this woman can be trusted with scissors.
The US should give Quebec New England and New York State and take Alberta and the Yukon in return.
Here’s a better Idea: Canada and the U.S. become THREE nations. Quebec establishes independence. The U.S. conservative states merge with the Canadian western provinces. Ontario and the U.S. northeastern states merge into a third country. Everybody’s happy!
She’s way behind george bush and the other globalists
As Canada becomes more economically free, and America becomes less so, I’d like Canada to remain a distinct country so I have a place where I can escape in a few years.
wait I just thought of another problem, if we merged we would have nowhere to send Jim Carrey back to!
Ooops, almost forgot--and MUCH better hockey teams.
The Canadians will never, ever go for that.
Canada Ping!
Give the blue states to Canada. One big socialist healthcare paradise until the money runs out.
Canaduh? Eh?
America says FK nohh.
No that I think of it, Canada just seems uninteresting.
I mean, except for Whistler I can’t think of a reason to go.
I’d rather go to Mexico and points south of there.
Canada doesn’t have anything that America already has on a much bigger scale.
Not putting Canada down but, you should at least have a holiday we celebrate in America or a really nice national anthem that is stirring.
All your best entertainers leave and come to America.
Your politicians come to to America for medical care.
I will say you have something we’d like which is your oil. Alas our monkey rained representatives have deemed it best you sell to China.
I think we shouldn’t merge so much as you wouldbbe acquired in a hostile take over but, that would ruin our stars and stripes.
Yuh ain’t worth that, it or anything else.
Yer nice enough people but, you stay on your side of the border and we’ll come visit occasionally.
If that happens, expect the game of Curling to become as popular as Soccer. Watching Curling on TV was baffling and amusing. A broom sweeps a flat round dick over the ice, sort of like hockey, but faster and different rules. It think Curling is from the Scots.
Here's my take: Who wants Canada, a giant socialist drain on tax dollars? The poor sods are already in a death spiral and don't even realize it because their media is so stunted. Don't look at the Federal numbers, look at the provincial numbers, where the effects of 50 years of socialist medicine have taken a heavy toll on budgets. Forty-five percent of Ontario's annual budget is consumed by medicare alone, without including their fat pensions. With costs increasing each year in the double digits, you do the exponential math. Ontario has maybe 5 years to Armageddon.
To top it off, the eastern provinces are West Virginia poor, the Quebeckers are separatist blood-racists, the far North is a write-off, British California is full of drug addicts and maryjane growers.... it would seem that Alberta/Saskatchewan are the only keepers with their beef, oil and grain.
If you want my opinion.....Bad idea, unless you take the pick of the litter.
