Not scared. Just know a garbage ideology and assholes you can't possibly do business with in good faith when I see 'em.

:rolleyes:

What about the northern territories? Nunavut, NWT and the Yukon?
I'd leave 'em as territories. As I understand it, "territories" for you are much like they are for us. . . areas so thinly-populated they'd have real difficulties making it as states/provinces. They're heavily subsidized by the national government because they simply don't have enough people to form viable political entities.

Nunavut is unique. In the short time between signatures, Nunavut was its own independent sovereign nation. It joined Canada keeping its sovereign Rights and Government.

I'm not even opposed to that. The NAU has been predicted for a long time, and seems inevitable to me. And you probably could keep your health care. Health care is primarily done state-by-state in the U.S. The Obamacare thing is just to pay for insurance, which you wouldn't need. And as I said elsewhere, probably noplace in the world are there two countries whose ethnicities, languages, borders, governmental systems, and cultures would dovetail as smoothly as Canada and the U.S.

Should probably try for at least two states, though. Ya get more senators that way. I could see the Maritimes, Kay-beck, Ontario, the Prairie State, and BC.

NAU won't happen unless it's like the EU - each nation has their own identity still, culture, etc, just in certain things like trade and travel, we 'mesh'.

It MIGHT have happened if Trump hadn't started this BS, but this fuck up of his has kicked up Canadian's against being American "bigly".

If the NAU happens, it won't be for generations.

Like all obvious, sensible ideas, the "common man" using "common sense" will resist it with his dying breath.

The "common man" is an idiot.

So... nothing then, no evidence.

Not surprised.
Exactly. The evidence was not provided to the party insiders that did the whitewash. A non biased outside investigation is required. At the very least we will then know how much evidence has been hidden or destroyed.

Come on Dix, let's be serious.
Oh I am serious. He's not the man they portray. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people don't know that because the TDS is so severe that it likely won't ever happen. But hey, that's ok. He knows who he is & will do everything he can to MAGA!! I just wish Canada had politicians who cared as much about us.

We've had our own Trump for a decade; look what it brought us.

You say "non-biased" and yet there's no proof that the commissioner who did the investigation was biased in her report.

Just "Oh she's a liberal thus biased".

Why not just simply say you don't trust the RCMP, don't trust our Intelligence agencies, don't trust anyone? It'd save you lots of time.
