Question Tober. If the argument that becoming one country would destroy our identity, are you suggesting that the Algonquin Nation should separate from Canada to preserve its identity? what about Quebec? Or 'Cascadia'?
Canadian/American Merger

Actually, I remember when I lived in BC, the idea of Cascadia as a nation was attractive as a concept.
Take away the border and they would. We would be swallowed. Trucks bulging with guns and ammunition would cross the border looking for a new frontier to shoot up they way they believe their ancestors shot up the old one.
They have all been talking about doing exactly that. You can accept the fact that we have a nation and rule it as best we can, permit everybody who wants to bail out, or go the opposite way and jump into the arms of America. IMO the status quo is the best of these three choices. Its just an opinion.
Were you born that stupid? Or did you swallow the stupid stick later in life?You believe far too many of the pulp fiction books you read.
There are over 50 in Canada alone. Or do you adhere to the principle of 'two founding races'?

Practice makes perfect! Lol.
Yes. I am not saying a majority of Americans, but there are a lot of gun nuts in that population of 330,000,000, and the US gun lobby never ceases trying to open new markets. The gun nuts lap up their marketing like it is a religion. Look at the way they treat Alaska. America is obsessed with guns and gun enthusiasts by the thousands, and the idea of a new frontier closer than Alaska would attract Yanks who could never afford to go to Alaska. They would be all over Labrador, northern Ontario and Quebec, the northern prairies and BC like flies on offal.
PS Let me add to that and quantify it. I am not suggesting invading waves. I am talking about a steady trickle of unconnected individuals all with the same ideology. If an average of one truck per province with four people each entered Canada every two weeks, by the end of a year there would be 4 x 10 x 26 = 1.040 new Canadian residents, all with American guns, gun manners and gun ideologies, living in remote areas of Canada. What is the difference between Americans and Canadians? Americans permit military assault weapons, semi-automatic handguns, armour piercing and tracer ammunition. In America it is considered acceptable to leave loaded weapons under the bed and elsewhere in the home within reach of children. None of those things are permitted here. Given the present lack of policing in those areas now, the chances are pretty good that in no time at all northern Canada would become an armed Texas of the north. Canadians have no experience of that kind of culture, and I don’t think many Canadians have any realistic idea what it would be like living that way. A great many Americans justify their demand to being armed by saying they are afraid to not be armed in their own homes, neighbourhoods and country. Does anybody here really want that?
I am a shooter, and was immersed in the gun culture for years. I doubt very much that you were. Like every sub-culture it has its own loosely ordered world view. You don't have to agree with my view of the culture I was a member of, but you would be less than honest with yourself if you did not give thought to the fact that I believe what I say.

Must be. Maybe when(if) he reaches puberty he will have a better grasp of reality.
You believing what you say and it having any basis in reality are two completely different things.
There is no doubt in my mind that you believe what you say. What you say is very exaggerated, in my opinion. Also, don't make assumptions about people, what I have knowledge of and experience in is for me to inform you not for you to presume.
Congratulations, for an American hater, you even have gerryh rolling his eyes at you, that is no small accomplishment.
