If I had to pick, Britain. We're part of the Commonwealth anyway.

Ok I've spent most of my life under the governorship of Rick Perry and this without a doubt is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard.

As someone else who's in that exact situation, agreed.

Those borders look like they were drawn by a three-year-old. But no, Canada should not merge with the U.S.

And they're so wonderfully arbitrary too!

Your statements are so patently ridiculous.

I second that. Fuck, if you look above, most Canadians would rather be a part of Britain or France (for Quebec).

Greater Nilfgaard wrote:Ok so here's a thought. The USA and Canada share one of the longest borders in the world. They are also very close trading partners and are culturally quite similar (except for Canadian thanksgiving being too early and them pronouncing certain words wrong, but these are quite minor). Compared to US-Mexican Relations which is compounded by issues like the Drug War and Immigration, US-Canadian relations have been very smooth for generations.

So here is my proposal. Canada and the USA should officially merge. Canada can be divided into like 5-6 new American states.
Here's my idea
Partition Plan

So what does NS think?
I think this would benefit the USA because it would give us all of Canada's significant natural resources. Also with global warming the area may become prime farmland. It would be good for Canadians too, because they would finally be US citizens and could vote for the President and join Congress.

NO THIS IS NOT ECCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because that sounds sort of insane to me.

Heck in my home country we post signs in half a dozen languages because we are not arrogant enough to assume that every one speaks our tongue.


Attempts to impose a uniform culture in Canada have been going on since the 1700s. So far Quebec has ensured none were successful.


Well that's why a Military Annexing operation would you know...Impose uniform culture.

:unsure: I don't exactly support The United States most of the time and i am unsure if i would support them in a war where they merely wanted to extend territory that said though those people could seriously benifit from differing culture.

Quebec has already been subject to a military annexation by Britain. They tried to impose uniform culture. It didn't work.
