Will we get a discount on Maple Syrup?
Combine no. If Canada wants to join the U. S., fine.
We do not want to conflate our Constitution and laws.
Our Constitution remains our founding and governing document.
Our laws remain the laws on the books.
Canada’s provinces merely become states of the United States.
They then conform to the laws and structure our states abide by.
I do't see this happening though, except for an extreme situation like a little ice age making Canada uninhabitable, ar an imperialist China.
We need to remember that in Bush 43’s day there was talk of a “North American Union” of the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Think European Union with national sovereignty being chucked out the window. In the UK right now real conservatives are rallying around UKIP to throw off the chains of the EU.
I even remember a certain presidential candidate in 2012 whose birth name was “Willard” speaking of a “North American” solution to our energy problems.
“I made the point that if Quebec prevailed with “sovereignty association,” and the rest of Canada was sorting out what to do next in national terms,”
I was in grade school in Vancouver when the 1995 referendum by the Quebecers to secede was made. I actually wanted those a-holes to GTFO out of canada because they’re the biggest whiners in the country.
“Comments? “
Leave Quebec out of the deal, the Frogs can’t be a part of the deal. They’ve been screwing up Canada since it became a country. They are, like all French, insufferable prigs who need to be left in a corner by themselves.
You don’t want the 2 nations to merge as a political entity, you’ll just have 30 million more Democrats. There should be an economic merger, like the EU states. Freer flow of goods and people. You might even see a northward exodus of progressives and socialists who can finally live out their Scandinavian socialist fantasies.
The liberals would love this. Like annexing Britain or France.
Not going to happen, but fun to think about in these days from which there is no real escape.

As most of us on this forum enjoy the musings of Mark Steyn, we would also gain the elegant insights of one Rex Murphy. Rex could fillet Mr. Obama effortlessly.
Given our current condition what advantage would Canada gain from union with us? Bad deal for them; like a polished and well to do lady marrying a bankrupt self absorbed wastrel
Agreements and mergers are too messy. Wait until hunting season and just cross the border and finish the job we quit in 1812 for Pete’s sake.
This way the Quebec thing is solved - speak SPANISH!
And that should help our Global Warming Carbon Credit search enormously!
