One world government, and the North American Union use to be a far out Conspiracy Theory. It's coming into the mainstream. 240 mentioned this earlier.

US, Canada should merge into one country

U-S-Eh!
No two nations in the world are as integrated, economically and socially, as the United States and Canada. We share geography, values and a gigantic border.
Regardless of this close friendship, our two countries are on a slow-motion collision course — with each other and with the rest of the world.
In 1987, the two countries signed the Free Trade Agreement (Mexico joined in 1994) but the US-Canada border has become more clogged than ever, hurting trade and tourism. There are heavy regulations, security controls and border police, the result of terrorist threats and extensive drug smuggling from Canada that has forced US officials to deploy drones and set up listening posts.
EGADS!!!No Thank You!!!Roger, if you wanted to induce a heart attack in me, ...you just came pretty darned close. LOL! Geez-Louise!
I simply cannot envision such a train wreck waiting to happen.
Yes, our two countries are firmly intertwined economically, socially, with similar lifestyles, etc.,...
...however, some of our differences, while small in number, have tremendous weight.
Canadians & Americans DO NOT share the same social values. That is just simply absurd!
We just do things a lot differently up here.
While I welcome the idea of giving Americans a little taste of Canada... afterall, exposing & educating, ...well, basically civilizing the ignorant masses is always a good thing, ...but when I think of the sheer numbers of American soon to be the huddled masses clamouring for freedom, ...I can't help but to believe being outnumbered 10:1 would not have a harmful effect on our Canadian way of life.
The idea of Americans arriving en masse bringing with them their prejudices, and their demagoguery would most definitely affect us adversely. I can picture them trying to dismantle our systems of healthcare, our policies of bilingualism, multicultural inclusiveness, and suggesting we should completely alter our way of life because as it stands, ...it's UNAmerican!
A nation of people obsessed & side-tracked by such issues as Religion, Abortion, Gay Marriage, Medical Marijuana, Mandatory Healthcare, Bare Breasts, and Immigration would really integrate well into a secular, non-religious nation with legalized abortion, legalized same sex marriage, decriminalized pot use, universal healthcare, top-less women in public, and a national policy of bilingualism and multicultural inclusiveness NOT!!!
...not to mention those evil fvckers would try to take all the u's out of our words,
...and prolly drink all our beer, ...and smoke all our pot too!
Canadians are simply different from Americans, ...as is our way of life, as well as the way we relate to ourselves and our neighbours (both at home & abroad) God willing, let us all pray it remains that way! Insha'Allah
Things Are Just Different in Canada
