Maybe one day we can all be on nation but the world is not even close to that point in time. I give it about 500-1000 years.

But Canada and the States are. Why do I need a passport to visit the states? Fear of outsiders? That's all a giant load of bull. It's all about control, and politics - most of which is unnecessary, inconvenient, and morally negative. Why should I have to deal with that kind of inconvenience because a bureaucrat needs to up his salary/make an excuse for what he's doing and another politician scared enough grandmas about the evil's of the outside world so he can get re-elected?
Call me idealistic, but I don't trust where this is going. The exact opposite of what you assumed I was thinking about. I'm more worried than hopeful of where these two countries are going.
