  • Should Canada join the US?

    I heard about this board from the board at http://www.unitednorthamerica.org/phpBB2/index.php on http://www.unitednorthamerica.org/. What that website is proposing is that Canada join the US. What does everyone here think of this. There are some pros and cons at http://www.unitednorthamerica.org/procon.htm. What I think most people would find here would find the most interesting is the uniform continental defense perimiter which would allow for both American and Canadian border guards stationed on the common border to be stationed elsewhere (Mexican border, airports, and ports).

    Personally, I am for it. My only concern is that it could lead to Democrat control of the federal government, but I suspect that may not be a problem. It seems like the Republicans would be able to integrate Canadian conservatives more easily than the democrats could integrate Canadian liberals.

    What has the Colonel to say on this? My relatives and friends in Canada would say 'no go'.

      There was a study done by Pew Internet Research, and the number of Canadians who want to join the US is 19.9%.

        Do we get their firearms laws, or do they get ours?

        If we get theirs, my answery is N.F.W.!

          Reduction in taxes by up to 50%.
          :LOL

          So let see if I have this right Americans will be paying for Canada’s stupid social programs.

          Increase land mass by 104%.

          Great millions of square miles of useless barren tundra.

          This has got to be one of the top ten stupidest things I have ever heard of.

            I'm curious where that 19.9% is. For instance, I suspect there is a high concentration in Alberta. When Alberta leaves, the situation is different making the rest of the provinces think differently. It would be a domino effect. All you need is for one or two provinces to leave and Canada will soon be dead.

              Don't worry, we wouldn't get their firearms laws. The most likely path for Canada joining the US involves each province joining seperately leading the the government in Ottawa being dissolved and all of its nonsense laws about firearms (and many other things) dead.

                Actually, they would die. Most likely each province joins seperately leading to the death of the government in Ottawa which would kill their nonsense socialist programs. In theory the new states could keep them, but they would be overwhelmed so that will never happen.

                They said the same thing about Alaska when it was purchased.

                  Im a canadian, im totally in favor of it. Thats favor without a 'u'!!!

                  I dont want the feds telling my province of Ontario that we need full public health care. Im tired of our weak military and our stupid foreign policy, im tired of high taxes and social programs that dont work all that well (although they arent as bad as unitednorthamerica makes them out to be), and im tired of the anti-american sentiment in this country. I love my city and my province, but fuck the confederation of Canada. Alberta is ok too lol.

                    The military would certainly vote no. Too much history to give up. We're proud to be Canadians.

                      What's the last thing the Canadians went to as Canadians, not as a UN force? Latest mention I know is they were one of five brigades on D-Day. They were the only paratroopers to destroy their allocated targets

                        I/SFOR, KFOR, OEF Afghanistan, ODS, OAF, ISAF, and it was a Canadian Corps in WWII. Juno Beach was taken by two Canadian divisions, not bdes.

                          Weren't I/SFOR and KFOR UN forces? Or were they NATO? What are OAF and ISAF?

                          I said brigades cuz I wasn't sure, but it sounded right.

                          The Canadians got Juno, US got Omaha and Utah, and the Brits got Gold and Sword, right?

                            Good point, but Alaska was empty. Canada is filled with millions of liberals.

                              I/SFOR and KFOR are NATO ops.

                              OAF - Operation Allied Force
                              ISAF - Intenational Stablization Assistance Force - currently a NATO op.

                              Correct on D-Day.
