Should Canada join the US?

Answer 1

According to the site listed below, yes.
Here's a quote:

The Expansionist Party ("XP") advocates admission of Canada into the United States as up to seven states of the Union. The four Atlantic Provinces, too small to be admitted as separate states, would merge into one. (Merger of these four even within the context of an independent Canada has long been advocated, for the administrative economies it would entail.) The remaining six provinces, from Quebec west, could be admitted as states to themselves. Or the three Prairie Provinces could be merged into a single Prairie state — again, for reasons of economy. Besides, big states get more attention to their needs than do small states.

The Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut would either merge with Alaska to form a united Arctic state to champion northern interests, or be divided among the new Canadian states bordering on them by extending present provincial boundaries northward, as the people of Canada might in their sole discretion decide prior to union. If neither of these alternatives seems the best thing to do at once, the federal territories of Canada could simply become Federal territories of the United States, leaving the question of their future to be decided later.

Under the laws of the United States, no area can become a state without a ratifying plebiscite, so there can be no claim of imperialism. If the people of Canada want Canada to be part of the United States, and the people of the United States wish to grant Canadians statehood, no one in the world has any right to object.

The United States, as its name suggests, is an organization more than a nation-state. Its unity revolves not around race, language, or even shared history, but around the principles of its express social contract, the Constitution of the United States. Originally just 13 states along the eastern seaboard of North America but now 50 states spread across the entire width of the continent and extending to its northwest corner and across 2,400 miles of the Pacific Ocean, the U.S. has grown by accepting new members into the club. Unlike some areas that have asked for statehood but been rejected (the Dominican Republic, various countries of Central America, and even Hawaii, when it first applied in 1854), if Canada were to ask, it would surely be accepted, since public opinion polls show strong support among Americans for admitting Canada to the Union.

Answer 2

Noooooo. Canada is 1 of the common welth under the crown of Her Megesty The Queen of Great Britin, same as Australia, New ziland & Fokland. Canada is counted as coridor 4 USA's National security, so, the 2 countries must intigrate 2gether 4 security perposes, not joining as 1 country.

Answer 3

A bunch of years ago when problems with a certain French province
looked to heading for disaster, that was far more of a reality. Now, no way. Why ruin Canada with the disaster that is the BUsh Presidency? In fact, we in Western new York should declare ourselves independent and petition to join Canada if the republicans steal a thrid election. God' bless Canada, a nation I would be proud to defend.

Answer 4

Are you totally mental or what? If anything we should be building closer ties with the EU.
For the a**hole who doesn't think Canada is a nation

CFB TRENTON, Ont. (CP) - A high school athlete, a father of two young sons, a veteran peacekeeper, a beloved fiancee and a former Olympian were remembered as heroes Wednesday as their bodies were returned to Canadian soil, the latest casualties of Canada's controversial mission in Afghanistan.


A Canadian Forces Airbus taxied over the tarmac at CFB Trenton to a waiting line of five black hearses, one for each of the dead men: Warrant Officer Richard Francis Nolan, Warrant Officer Frank Robert Mellish, Sgt. Shane Stachnik, Pte. William Jonathan James Cushley and Pte. Mark Anthony Graham.


To the mournful drone of two bagpipers, dozens of families members sobbed and clutched each other as the flag-draped coffins emerged one by one from the plane that brought them home.


Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Rick Hillier, Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean, Chief of Land Staff Lt. Gen. Andrew Leslie, U.S. Air Force Col. David Brackett and Afghanistan's Consul General Wahid Monawar were among the dignitaries on hand to witness the emotional procession.


Nolan, Mellish, Stachnik and Cushley were killed Sunday during a fierce battle with insurgents near Kandahar in Afghanistan.


Graham, a 33-year-old former Olympian, was killed a day later when Canadian forces were accidentally strafed with cannon fire from a U.S. warplane.

Anytime you want to go over and clean up the mess, be our guest. I doubt if you ever wore a uniform , maybe girl guides. It's because of weasles like you that the US is becoming so isolated.

Answer 5

Canada already has joined the US !

Answer 6

i think the real quesiton is should the US join canada. recent polls have shown that canada is in fact better then the us. it would make much more sense if we just joined up with canada and become the united states of canadamerica. 61% of canadians agree. the us should join canada.

Answer 7

In doing what? They seem to be doing fine. And, don't forget, they are America's best neighbors and the only ones that have ever offered assistance in our recent tragedies, while our own Federal Government (the Prez, VP and Condee were either on a vacation or shopping spree) were holding on to their butts and feigning ignorance!

Answer 8

We recently joined them in brewing Molson. If we also added Labbatts and Moosehead and they began brewing Bud, Miller and Coors, the merger would be complete!

Answer 9

I used to think Canadians were such warm, wonderful people.....but you guys/girls really show your true colors here.....callous, ignorant of american people and totally uninformed are my newfound perceptions.

Answer 10

HAHAHAHAHA NO WAY... what, the US is getting so fat that we need Canada now??
