Yep, there's a meeting scheduled to discuss American and Canadian economies becoming more and more integrated, and such, and one of the topics is going to be integrating the two dollars...though some say its not likely to happen...
What do you guys think? Could it be called the Amero? heheheh.

Interesting, though first they're going to have to up the Canadian's economy a bit, aren't they?... What's the current exchange rate right now?
The "amero" ? Gods, no! ACK!

When I first heard the ECU was going to be called Euro I thought "Are these people even adults? What kind of kiddy name is that??" When I saw what the banknotes were going to look like I thought "What kind of boring, playing-it-safe, messy-composition SHITmoney is this??" Sorry. I never objected to the ECU because it had a normal name. But now, I ask myself why oh why? Why hast thou forsaken us??!
Anyway, since Canada is already a pseudo-United States I don't see what the trouble is here (unless the French people object, which they will certainly do since French people tend to be rather nationalistic. About as nationalistic as the British are conservative.)

RW, I love you like a brother, but if you ever say that again, I will kill you. Painfully. The day Canada joins America is the day I move to a small island and surround it with artillery. Hell, it will be easy to buy.
PS to Jubes: Our main problem is our debt. 1/3 of all revenue made by the government goes to paying the interest on it! We need to abolish the following: The Department of Northern and Indian Affairs, the CBC, anything at all related to Sheila Copps, Quebec, and multi-culturalism. Once that's done, we should be okay. I'll probably think of more things to cut from the budget later. Oh! I forgot official bilingualism. Slash that, too.

Amero? Where do they come up w/ this stuff?! Let's see... The US currency is called the dollar... The Canadian currency is called the dollar... Now, if we combine the two, is it possible they might call it... the dollar? *starts smacking the people who came up w/ all that*

I say, avoid seeking unity and let nature take its course.
After Quebec secedes, which it will eventually, since nobody can satisfy the French and French wannabes, Canada will start to crumble, starting with the economically depressed and isolated (Quebec's in between) Maritimes. Said provinces will join the U.S. of their own free will, simply for the economic benefits.
Then the rest will start to backslide. Inside of 50 years after Quebec's succession, the whole place will be U.S. anyway.
*EG*

I'm not sure I agree with you there. There has been a swing back to the right in recent years, and that could very well get us back on track. The Maritimes do have problems, but they can be fixed. As I mentioned above, when a third of the federal budget has to pay the annual interest on the debt, you limit your options.
And as for Quebec, all we need is some politician to stand up and say "The next person to call a referendum will be hung for treason." The Supreme Court has declared the Seperation is illegal. Not to mention the fact that the Natives control 1/3 of the province and are armed to the teeth. THe Natives had a referedum of their own. 97% voted to remain in Canada. We have problems, but we'll survive.
