Merger? Does that mean we can sell off all the crappy states and just keep the good ones going forward?

Fox Business... that's pretty much an oxymoron isn't it?

If the US unequivocally adopted Canadian laws, across the board, including gun control and Health care I guess. They would also have to change their name to Canada's pants, balance their books, and blow up Detroit.

Really? Hell no. If we took over the States though we'd certainly do a better job than those whole government shutdown / anti-health care clowns.

I don't see why the U.S. would want to.
They can already get anything they want from us, without the burden of governing. I think they much prefer to keep us a satellite. It's so much more efficient.

In all honesty, if it were to ever happen, it would only be done in a hostile fashion. I would also 'relax' my ideas on gun control, and be the first in line to become a fully armed Canadian insurgent. I would absolutely be willing to die to protect my Canadian identity. It is the most valued thing any of us can claim to have.

Sell them Quebec for a profit and tell them it's Canada.

I do believe the video is more about a bigger economic union, like the EU. Not a 'merger' in a governmental sense, which I'm not sure why would even be a question, it's just so far out there for both countries.
However, even in the EU example, I would just point again to that example and ask how well has that worked out for them?
Lastly, even though the US is the largest economy in the world, and still stable compared to other economies simply cause of it's size, I worry about the road they are going down, and not sure why Canada would want to be part of that.

The guy in the video brought it up, but a Canada/USA hockey team would decimate at every level. Can this get done before February?
Suter solves our left D problem too.

Obviously a full merger is out of the question. What I was more interested in is an EU type of arrangement.

Should Canada merge with the USA?
