A U.S. and Canada merger would be a huge mistake for both sides.

That woman should be charged with treason or something. She's Canada's version of Benedict Arnold.

We can argue it all day so let me end it here... Carly Rae Jepsen. Is that enough? If not ... Nickleback.

Having dual citizenship would be nice. For working, for travel, whatever. I wouldn't be opposed to some kind of relaxed border / combined union, EU style. It will probably never happen though. Until like, cheesy Sci-Fi 'World Council' stuff.

Didn't the US already get the ability to police in our country?

well I love Canada, but yet again the 'polite' canadians are sounding quite jerkish here.
Probably they also love the NFL, trash the CFL, can't get enough American culture on tv etc, go golfing in palm springs and say how great Las Vegas is.

Why can't you be more like the other Icelandic poster we have? He's like a ray of sunshine, and always positive, and you always post chastising, angry posts. Be more like Thor, you're ruining our awesome perception of Iceland.
Make no mistake, we will "America" Iceland if this continues.

Also, not wanting your country to merge in any way with another country is not jerkish.

I also love to vacation in Mexico, but there's no way I'd want to live there. There's a pretty vast chasm between liking aspects of a country and not wanting it to merge with yours. I don't think it's a very difficult concept to understand.

LOL, the mother of Eric Francis. Should I say more?
How about the North American Union, already a topic for many years. No thanks.
The Amero, a NAU currency proposed by Herbert Grubel formerly of the Simon Fraser University, is published by the Fraser Institute.
Quote:
|
Conspiracy theorists contend that the governments of the United States, Canada, and Mexico are already taking steps to implement such a currency, as part of a New World Order (NWO).
|
Feel like the water is getting warmer fellow frogs? I always love when conspiracy theory is thrown into the mix. Instant negative vibe that even many here perpetuate.
A NAU would result in ANOTHER level of government (and therefore rules, bureaucracy and taxation) above and beyond what we already have. But we may not have a choice.
The Federal Reserve is up against a wall. In order to prop up the "US" dollar, they are currently pumping $85 billion per month into poor investment vehicles such as housing and US bonds. Whenever they even THINK about tapering it, the stock market takes a dive. They, and subsequently, the US gov't, are f'd. It is not a matter of IF but WHEN their petrol dollar collapses.
We, having so close ties to their economy will also immediately be impacted. As is the case historically, a new finanicial tool will have to emerge quickly. This will likely be the Amero using special drawing rights (SDRs) from the IMF.
At that point, we are toast. No more sovereignty, no more Canada.
BC, AB, SK, the territories, and perhaps MB could be viable on their own and should seriously consider this aspect.

I was trying to say to the angry guys bashing the US to be happier.....
Be happy the US isn't all bad, think of the good things you like about them.
I'm so happy right now. I'm going over to Thor's and have a beer.

Why? Because we have an opinion contrary to yours and that of the columnist? There are plenty of good reasons to not want to have any part of merging things, not the least of which, for me at least, is the crap economy and atrocious banking system. There just aren't really enough compelling reasons to 'merge.'
What an odd comment to make, that it makes us jerks because we'd prefer not to merge with another country. I'm sure plenty of countries would say "yeah, um NO" to a suggestion to merge with another. Perhaps Iceland should consider merging with Russia.
