Sorta, but a (voluntary) union of Canada and the US would be good for both countries I think.
I would go for better working relations than any type of formal union. What that means at this point, I am not sure?

I like Canada having its own Sovereignty. Now and into the future.

Has anyone considered that it's Canada that's the aggressor? :hmm:

You're both wrong.

Dig deeper.
The maple industry was also hammered by the ice storm of 1995/96. Something like 70% of all the trees in Vermont, the producer of the world's best maple syrup, were damaged.

Yes, Alan Alda considered it in "Canadian Bacon".

What is it with all these foreigners trying to stir up trouble between the US and Canada?

Maybe they're just jealous the two countries have the longest undefended border in the world...

They also have one of the shortest, most heavily defended borders on the other side though:rotfl:

Obviously you have no conception of what a heavily defended border looks like. Google some pictures of the Korean DMZ with its minefields, concertina and gun emplacements then get back to me.

The French are always pissed off. No matter what Quebec is always pissing and moaning. Granted I like them alot more than the rest of Canada but they'd be alot more useful if they actually decided to be Canadian before anything else.

There's a reason they call themselves "French" Canadian's I guess instead of Canadian French.

Everyone needs to relax before someone brings up General Wolfe and the Plains of Abraham.
