But what does that have to do with the infrastrucutre of USA being privatised for the benefit of the private owned US corporation?
Democratic Annexation of Canada into the United States

Quite right, USA will find Canada singularly unpalatable. Especially Republicans will never agree to it. Canada joining USA will mean perpetual Democratic rule in Washington DC. Perhaps 1/10th of Canada’s population (Alberta) may vote republican, but 9/10th would be loyal Democratic voters.
Nothing. You asked the question 'what is USA?' and I gave one possible answer, Ulhasnagar Sindhi Association.
It will be Australia or new Zealand for me. And we have more than enough to retire on, so money won't be a problem for us either.
Quite so, DHW. USA is a great place to visit (in fact I am going there next month, to visit my cousin in Omaha), but I wouldn't want to live there (although I did live there for seven years).
We are all Royalists here in Canada as well, Durka. We all pledge allegiance to the Queen, just by being a Canadian citizen.
Indeed. If Canada is annexed by USA, my hope would be that i could sell our lakeside house to a rich American and get out of USA before the dollar plunges.
There is no US of A anymore. It was sold off in 1992. Aren't you paying attention?
roflmao You in Oz? Judging by any Aussies I've ever met, you'll be the butt of many practical and other types of jokes. Please take a videocam and post the results here.
That may be sarcasm, but there is some truth to it. Electoral College is a strange, antiquated institution, which sometimes can go against the majority vote, as happened in 2000 (Gore got more popular votes, but Bush got more electoral college votes).
I think it has also happened once before in US history.
Well, yes. But at the same time, a vote by New York resident counts for less than a vote by Alabama resident, or a vote by Mississippi resident. Rather undemocratic, don't you think?
Of course, that also happens with the Senate. House on the other hand, is truly democratic, a state is alloted house seats based upon its population.
What you say may be true of Maritimes and Western provinces. I can see them joining USA at some stage.
But I don’t see Ontario ever joining USA. Don’t be fooled by the fact that there is no separatist talk, no separatist sentiment in Ontario (like there is in Quebec or the western provinces). If push comes to shove, Ontarians will deeply resent any thought of joining USA.
Ontario considers itself to be the linchpin of Canada, and it is not about to join any foreign country, not now, not ever. And it has sufficient population to go it alone, to make a success of it by itself. There are many nations in the world with a population of less than 10 million.
It is true that an independent Ontario may have very little influence internationally, but financially it can still remain a rich country.
No separatist talk? Apparently you haven't heard Northern Ontario sentiments about the Toronto Government
I think Canada should annex Alaska (We should have bought it from Russia; I think we could raise $7.2 million to reimburse the Yanks for what they paid for it), Washington state, and Oregon (They were part of the HBC territory anyway; no reimbursement necessary!)
