Should Canada merge with the USA?

[Saruhan]

It's been a part of France and Britain... yeah, a province of SO MANY different nations...

You left out spain

We've never been a part of Spain

[Vetalia]

No more confusing than North/South Dakota or West Virginia/Regular Virginia

Plus, 99.9% of the time people just call it "DC" or "Washington DC".

Spanish people first set on what is now Canadian land in the south-western part of what is now British Columbia in 1791. They made land claims there until the Spanish Empire lost that land to the British in 1818.

Spain never had a claim on what is now Canadian soil.

EDIT: At least when they were expelled by the British.

Wikipedia lied to me then.

Did they even have people on it though?

Hold on while I try checking it with non-Wiki sources.

Here's a better idea.

Just read the article. Now I feel stupid. I'll redact my statement.

It was never very important.

No, you seem to be correct Nightkill. There were a few tiny Spanish ports (maybe not necessarily full colonies) in what is now Vancouver Island.

BRILLIANT!!
I shall begin placing propaganda in Canada and the appropriate states.

They did.

I knew that there had be Spanish explorers there, but did they ever put colonists there or just say "there's a new piece of land, yoink!"?

[Nightkill the Emperor]

They had a few, but not many.

Ah, fur trader arrangement or something?

[The Nationalist Republic of America]

America and Canada are separate countries, so no.

I don't know, it's not an area I'm very well versed in. I just recall learning it in class years ago and checked it today when it came up.

Ah, but Southern BC isn't really something most people think of when it comes to Canada, mostly people don't think about it at all

[Oneracon]

So let's sum this up...

Canada: Great Britain, France, Spain (small ports on Vancouver Island, lost pre-1800s), the Netherlands (mostly in the 1600s)
USA: Great Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Russia, and the Sovereign Kingdom of Hawaii

Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. That's all I've been to in Canada.

I finished Canadian history last year, and I do remember my teacher mentioning brief Spanish settlement on what is now British Columbia. Although, I also remember someone else saying is was Spanish Colombians, not direct Spanish, hence the name.
