[O.C. - Old Cracker]

As an American, I would vote a resounding "NO". Remember what happened to the West German economy when it joined with its poor illiterate cousin to the East.

Annexing Canada — even minus Quebec — would be a catyastrophe!

it woudl mean adding over 25 million voters, most of whom would immediately become yellow-dog Democrats.

SORRY, "O,C.," the "Canadians" We Know are FAR MORE Like Us than ANY Other Culture.

West of "QUEBEC," "Canada" IS "America."

"America,"--especially "Protestant, Christian, West-European America,"--has LONG HAD a "Spiritual Ally" in Canada.

A "Union With" Western Canada (Toronto & West) is a Natural Progression of Our Culture!!

There are VERY FEW "Nation-States" which adhere to "Faschism/Communism," & there are Virtually NO "Free" Nations willing to accept the "Precepts of 'Fascism/Totarialism!'"

The "EGOCENTRIC FOOLS" of the "Montreal Governing Body" STILL BELIEVE THAT the VAST, Interconnected WEB of WORLDWIDE Knowlege is ISOLATED FROM "Canada!"

HOW STUPID!!"

We have Arrived at a VAST, TOTALLY INTERCONNECTED STATE of Affairs. There are NO MORE SECRETS.

IRRESPECTIVE of our "Plans/Desires," America & Canada are ONE!!

NOT "Such a Bad Thing!!"

So we have a "Connection with" the "Good Guys!!"

I HOPE this "Merger" is REAL!!

I Cannot imagine a Better Influence on our Culture than That of the "Canadians!" «p> Sadly, I fear that the "Jerkweeds of our Culture" will find a Way to "Sabotage" what COULD BE one of the Greatest Cultural Mergers in History.

America & "Non-French-Speaking" Canada are NATURAL Allies.

Sadly, the "Frankophiles" of Quebec are IGNORANT OF the Islamic Disaster they "Court!"

Until the "Ignorant Followers of "Islam" LEARN the "Basic Tenets of "Christianity & Islam," we will see Ignorant "Suicide Bombers" continuing to Disrupt Holy Prayers.

Neither Christianity nor "Islam" Condones "Aggressive Suicide."

Someone (Some BAD PERSON) has mis-interpreted "Scripture" to "Promote/allow" aggressive suicide!!

NO CURRENT RELIGION accepts such a practice!!

The "Suicide Bombers" have NO scriptural justification for their act.

Murder is NOT "Condoned" by ANY Religion.

I would not equate Canada with East Germany. Canada is not poor, and is not illiterate.

For example, under Alberta province lie hydrocarbon reserves equal to that of Saudi Arabia. Granted, it is harder to extract, but the technology exists today.

Combined with similar oil and tar sands in our mountain states, we could become freed from importing oil.

I see nothing wrong with a few more willing states. My bet is that Canadians are at least as well educated as our own present population is (not as well as should/could be....granted).

My "NO" would be there beside yours. And thanks for the neat analogy - I don't want to have to remember "what happened" to the US economy when it joined with its poor illiterate cousin to the North.

The other negative part of this whole treatise is that unless there could be a massive deportation of all things Frogged, we would still have to deal with a Canadian Quebec. The imbecilic nature of Canadian leftism would be magnified without a tempering moderate influence from the rest of Canada.

I believe Saturday Night Live -- or some similar show -- once called Cadada the Retarded Giant of the North.
