Now obviously Kevin O’Leary would in no way at all be representing Canada if he was to discuss anything relating to Canada as a whole. I am curious, when countries get together to discuss trade and economic cooperation, are some ‘business leaders’ ever involved? Like in the background obviously.
I guess anyone is allowed to talk about whatever they want, I could go down to the US and talk about anything I wanted (nobody would listen, but that’s another story!).

I would actually be interested to see an objective breakdown of the pros and cons if Canada and the U.S. unified from both country's perspectives.
There are several different types of unions that stop short of annexation. For example, Scotland is unified with England in the United Kingdom, but they are not annexed by England and have their own parliament and law making abilities. Or the EU example as also pointed out where countries maintain their sovereignty buy unify on some policies.
I am not saying I would be in favour of a Canadian-American union, but I think the discussion is interesting anyway.
