[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] It's a shame that those three attempted American invasions of Canada during the War of 1812 didn't succeed... then we wouldn't have to worry about this issue at all! ;) The idea of a unification of the USA and Canada is so ludicrous for several reasons, not the least of which is the simple fact that Canada would be dominated even more by the current USA states than it is now in terms of culture and economy. Currently, they've got status, a distinct identity in name, and an independent voice in world affairs. Why would they want to give that up? I could possibly see the US and Canada merging under some kind of continent-wide union similar to what the Europeans are doing now in the EU, but even that would be extremely unlikely given the overwhelming dominance of the US. It's easier to set up a union in Europe because the founding countries that got the ball rolling were more or less equal. Besides, even if Canada did try to join the US, we'd end up with Great Britain declaring war on us to make sure that the Queen doesn't lose any of the jewels of her crown. :p (Kidding, kidding...)
