Soon, we will be buying parts of America.
Why would we merger with them when we can flat out buy them.

Of course, buying parts of the US is the preferred method for the following reasons:
1. Canadians get to choose those regions we will assimilate.
2. Buying is a free-market principle; merging and sharing is socialism.
3. When real estate is purchased, we as the owners will decide who the residents will be.
4. Land values appreciate. Canada will be able sell portions at a profit to highest bidders.
5. Purchasing resource -rich regions will allow Canadians to benefit without having to despoil our own pristine areas.
6. Purchasing is acquiring though stealth rather than war. Americans will freely participate in our manifest destiny.
7. Areas we will not purchase will become "Bantustans" isolating barbaric peoples. Good fences make good neighbours.
8. The Bantustans will provide a reservoir of cheap labour.
I like the way you think. Most of those are already happening in Florida and Arizona....you know...the good places. Soon all the Americans will be left with are ****holes like Massachusetts and New Jersey
Don't understand the difference between head of government and head of state, eh?I have little difficulty accepting Islamic peoples and including them as part of our multi-cultural culture. But do you really want to do that with Americans? IMO we're better off letting them keep their drug culture, their greenback culture, their gun culture and their "me first" culture where it belongs, in America. We do not play the music Hail to the Chief when our PM enters the room and hopefully we never will. America is too extremist.

Any closer contact between America and Canada will change Canada irrevocably. We'll fuk you folks up permanently.

Opening the Northern resources is critical. Otherwise they sit stranded. Power blocs are emerging. From China to Russia and all thru the Stans.
Do you mean the way America perceives it has a "national interest" in the Gulf that justifies making war on the people of the region?
Nope. Look to the agreements that Russia, China and all the Stans are making. The new silk road and a rich one it will be. We need huge investment in the North to tap the resources.
No argument there. I lived in Nunavut and it's a bitch of a climate. Snow is still on the ground and the bays are full of ice at the beginning of June. You always know when Frobisher Bay will be ice free because the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker arrives June 7 or thereabouts every year. Bra-less season in Nunavut is July when women undo the zippers on their windbreakers. August and September are autumn. Once the Northwest Passage becomes accessible to shipping during ice-free months, the sea route from Europe to Asia will be drastically shortened. Sooner or later it will become a major shipping lane.
A Canadian-US merger could only work to Canada's disadvantage. All world studies show us to be superior to America in quality of life, standard of living, health care, cleanliness and all of the things that make us what we are. America literally has nothing to offer - look at their current political impasse with extreme right-wing politicians threatening to trash the economy if they don't get their way? The extreme right savaged the world between 1939 and 1945. The average American doesn't need what it is offering but he can't do much about it. We don't want it either and all we have to do is say "no".

Yeah but once many right wing delusionals see that your system (one similar to the FDR reform we used to have) is so much better they will stop voting Republican and all will be better for the majority of people.
But nothing lasts forever.
I'd be nice to me if I where you. One day soon we could be your slave masters.
Bah! , now I need to go shower
I feel yucky just talking to you dirty Americans.

Republicans allowed Tea Baggers to further screw up their party and now they regret having done so. If this continues more people will vote patriotic and take away all power from the delusional right wing. That will make it better for all.

BaalsTears,
What is patriotism except the last refuge of the scoundrel such as yourself?
Where I live most people are Mexicans. Do you hate the Mexicans too? Canada has much to learn from Mexico.
