I'm all for Canada joining the United States. Hear me out:

Canada gets:

- A stronger military and security.

- can keep single payer healthcare BUT also gets public option.

- can keep culture (you think individual states don't have a culture? Lolz)

- eliminates tax burdens across the state (where now interprovincial trade barriers exist).

- increased flow of capital, both financial and human.

- a strong constitution that protects first and second amendments!

- cheaper goods.

- a stronger dollar.

- the CPP becomes a state pension and isn't affected.

- elimination of bureaucratic redundancies.

The US gets:

- so many resources that the debt might even be paid down (for both nations).

- a stronger continent security-wise.

- so many, many, many resources that are not tapped and bureaucratically blocked.

- energy abundance from oil, gas, uranium.

- a secured and strengthened arctic.

- the elimination of morons running this damn show.

- maple syrup.

So for Canada it's a massive upgrade socially, constitutionally, and financially. For the US it's financial and security.

Let's do it!
