I believe this is incorrect, in the US thats the rule, but in Canada I was under the impression that both the mergers and the through traffic had equal right of way. I've been googling for the last 5 minutes and everything I've come up with supports that position although i have yet to find a official source for Canada like I did for the US.

Both drivers have equal right of way in a merge. on page 5. So in theory if they won't let you in, make your own room and you're both 50% at fault for the damages, maybe that'll teach em
