Although your question is somewhat incoherant, you make an excellent point. Canada and Mexico have actually, incrediblly excellent relations for two countries one might at first suppose to be so very different. In almost every dispute over violations of the NAFTA by Americans, the Canadians and Mexicans have usually supported each other against their greedy and often unfair neighbors.
As you noted, Mexicans who live in Canada and Canadians who live in Mexico assimilate into each other's cultures and societies much, much faster than either Mexicans in the US or Americans in Mexico.
The Mexicans have had a saying for over a hundred years "Poor Mexico, so far from God, so close to the Gringos." In some parts of Eastern Canada they have had a very similar saying dating back to the 1800s. "Canada, too far from God, too close to the Yanks!" So interesting that for two countries so different in history, climate, race, language, culture we think so much alike and share such a common problem, our mutual neighbors!
I have lived for 12 years here in Mexico as part of a rich and warm Mexican family and have found the mix of Mexican and Canadian to be a wonderful benefit for both sides. It is interesting to note that in the Canadian Chamber of Commerce here in Mexico city the language always used is Spanish. French-Canadian, English-Canadian and Mexican members ALL speak Spanish. (In the American Chamber not only is everything ALWAYS in English, but many arrogant gringos there have never even bothered to learn much Spanish despite YEARS living in the country!)
(Something to think about - Considering that LA is the 3rd largest "Mexican" city and the 4th largest "Canadian" city. If the Mexicans had not lost California in the War of American Aggression and had not Canada permitted the British to sign away our claims to Washington and Oregon, Canada and Mexico might well have shared a common border. How much better that world might have been...........)

I am a proud Canadian, but is Canada number 1 in hockey? On the weekend I heard that in the top 12 goal scorers in the NHL, not one Canadian player was in the group! Don Cherry will cringe at that thought!
Canadians and Mexicans should form stronger bonds. We both are in the shadow of the US, and have huge resourses to sell to the Americans. But we should do a better job at attracting pretty Sinoritas!

I'm not sure what you are asking here, because I don't see an actual question. Anyways, I can tell you that Canada is no more friendly towards "illegal" immigrants than is the USA. Canada welcomes "legal" immigrants, though. There is some interesting information about this at the Canadian Immigration website I've pasted below. Check it out.

Not true! The fumbling way in which the Mexican cops have handled the Iannero murder means sets the stage for a massive tourism boycott of Mexico.

So is it that if Americans are not "With" Mexicans or Canadians. they are with terrorists? What are you smoking? It's the North American Free Trade Agreement and The United States is part of it. United States citizens, however, likely don't even know about it, or it would never have happened. Those citizens are what you would call Americans. If you are referring to the U.S. Government, you should say so because Americans are not individually part of NAFTA. nor are they "With" the terrorists.

So you propose Mexicans should go al norte straight to Canada, or you are just sharing all you know about the country? I'm not quite sure what the purpose of this post is.

Well, then. Why don't all of the illegal immigrants that come to our country keep heading north?? I don't care where they go, just so long as they don't stop here in this country.
And by the way: Yes, Canada is #1 in hockey, but have you seen the money that the NHL ISN'T making? Worst in YEARS! So they might be number one in hockey, but how long will hockey be around? It used to be the fastest growing youth sport in the world (even beating out soccer); but now it is just a shell of what it once was.
Kind of like what will become of Canada if they keep paying out more money on their social programs than they take in. . . But that is neither here nor there. Canada can have all of the illegal immigrants they like. I don't care where they go. I just care if they set up house here in the good ol' US of A.

Canadians also do not have a common border with Mexico.

Maybe it is because Canada is not Mexican neighbor?
