Actually, I'd enslave BL, the royal family and their Muslim friends and make them build it.

We should build a wall and make them pay for it.

You will never elect another Republican President, ever, ever again.

Nah, parties would just adapt to the new political reality.

If Canada and the US ever became one single state, I imagine that it would have to become a highly decentralized one. Probably the only thing the two sides might agree on would be a common passport and citizenship. This would mean a highly decentralized government with the individual constituent states operating almost like sovereign states in their own right except for the free movement of people. But that might not be a bag thing.

Oh, and they might agree on a common currency and a small military. However, I could imagine the US states deciding to supplement that with their own state militias and Canada being more than happy with the Federal military force.

But again, not necessarily a bad thing. Canada would save money on the military by amalgamating its military force with the US one, and states that think such a small military ain't enough could spend as much as they want above that.

To prrvent a problem like the Euro thought, we might need to impose strict limits on how much a state government could borrow. Your state wants a militia, by all means, but do it within your existing budget.

Canada needs ot reassert its sovereignty.. in trade, national defense, internal and foreign policy, on its natural resources.

That's what the nation was founded on. That's what John A. MacDonald's policies of nationalism were all about. It was all based on Canada NOT being absorbed into the United States and fighting their pernicious plot of Manifest Destiny.

It's become increasingly difficult with the pathetic PMs we've had, without interruption for the last 30 years. And its certainly not helped now by that half assed little wimp and fool Justin Trudeau and his 'internationalism' and 'post structuralism'.

But that is the only future for Canada, which has a tradition and destiny.. steadily corrupted by the quisling, cowardly Globalist governments of the last generation.
Come on , remember John Turner and Kim Campbell .

I like my American friend and I would not want another neighbour, but I am a Canadian with very different views of the world and my expectation of a country is very different. If by some Alien force intervention Canada should ever be absorbed in the mist of the US, I would quickly say arrivederci.
And go where ? Italy ?
