What do you think: "The United States of Canada"?

maybe the UK should join the US? if so we want 150 electoral college votes because we got double the population of california :smug: (and we need some extra votes because we would feel lonely over here)

[elite_hunter_sh3]

heck no i dont want a peaceful canada to join a nation that is soon gonna be attacked by nations around the world (china, iran) more and more countries are getting pissed at the american government. like all major empires they have the rise to power and their downfall, examples, Egyptian empirew(ancient) roman empire, french empire(napoleon), British Empire, German Empire (ww1 and ww2), japan empire, Soviet Union , china is now rising to power but they will fall its a matter of time.

Y'know that's a concept most separationists fail to understand. Canadian provinces would make a pretty sizable voting block in Federal politics. Not only in the electoral college but also in the US Congress and especially in the Senate, where you get two seats for every state (ie: province) regardless of population.

Far from being the serfs the Canucks imagine they would be, in truth with their population, territory and natural resources, they'd be the new big dog on the US political block and have a heckuva lot more say in the actions of this country than they do now.

Is culture really distinguished by national boundaries anymore in this day and age of multiculturalism, and global travel/communications?

Presently I don't see any pressing need for a union of Canada and the US but in 50 years time? Will our decendants wish we had done it back when we had the chance to do so in peace?

[edit]

And on a more serious note -

If Canada joined the US, I would leave. Don't get me wrong, I love Americans and all, but I have too many misgivings about certain social and political aspects of US public life (nikimcbee's point #1 explains why - yes, I'm a socialist and want to be at least in a non-disdained minority). In Canada I'm at least mostly comfortable.

Canada is its own society, or perhaps its own multiple societies (I'm sure people in the West would agree that they have their own stances on things that are different from those of us in Ontario). I'd rather it stay that way - I genuinely do like Canada the way it is and I've every intention of being a good Canadian citizen as long as it does. :)

(point of curiosity - although I was born and mostly raised in Russia, Canada is the only country whose citizenship/passport I ever held)

one of the problems quebecers have is they feel they are losing their culture

they are losing their culture to Multi Culturalism and dont realize it
it seems you have something in common with the quebecers then

[fatty]

I don't think it will happen, at least not in our lifetimes. Our two countries have been steadily shifting towards interdependence, but to actually get rid of the border would require a pretty enormous revolution. Deletion of our federal government, switching currencies, learning a new anthem, getting new passports, replacing all our signs with words like "colour" in them... and yes, learning that a zee isn't a zed and what the hell a foot is... :damn:

No harm done. But in all seriousness, It's not a race thing. We (the US) voted and chose to speak English (over German). But I would expect if you immigrate here, you would adopt our language. I have experienced the "ugly American" first hand, and it's embarressing. Unless you're a tourist, please speak english. There is no hate or malice behind this, but the USA is a melting pot and English is our language.

Just for the record, however, the US doesn't have an official language in the way other countries do :p
English is just a de-facto main language. True about 'melting pot', though.

As for the U.S. joining Canada or Canada joining the U.S., I'm happy just the way it is.

Just think, with 2 very diverse cultures, it makes both countries good for travel. Why visit another country that is just like this one.

We should just continue working together. Even a joint force is fine but to ask each country to give up even a little of what makes us proud of where we live can not be a good thing either.
