4 in 10 Americans want to annex Canada

A very well-administered poll by Leger Marketing of Montreal found that nearly four in 10 Americans favor annexing Canada. So should we get ready to fly a 60-star flag (ABOVE)?

Not quite yet. The same poll found only 2 in 10 Canadians wanted to join the U.S. That statistic makes it seem like Canadians have a low opinion of the U.S.--then again, nearly 60 percent of our northern neighbours are in favour of adopting the U.S. dollar as their national currency. Yes, you read that right... they like our money, but don't want to become citizens. That's kinda like the boyfriend who wants all the privileges of living together, but doesn't want to get married. C'mon Canadians, time to commit.

And if you don't want to lose your unique culture, maybe we should join you. Yeah, if Canada annexes the U.S., then America's huge national debt would go "poof" because there would be no America. (Enough silly ranting... but do check out the poll here)

I say go for it. Conquer those liberal socialist bastards...

6 in 10 Americans want to annex Canada. I guess their socialist medicine will be safe for now

I don't think it's that simple.

This is completely shocking in every way.

Tangentally on topic: I've always wondered what the Maritime provinces would do in the event of a Quebec secession. Would they remain an exclave of Canada or would they join the United States? Would New Brunswick join Quebec, either in whole or in part? And, for that matter, what would Labrador do?

[Angleter]

Oh God, no. And "oh God, no" to the Canadese replacing their monarch with George Washington on their currency. Don't they know anything about their history?

Newfoundland and Labrador have been independent before, and perhaps the Maritimes might form their own nation too- same as Canada, but smaller and with New Brunswick as a half-Quebec.

Newfoundland and Labrador were nominally independent but were essentially still part of the British Empire. One wonders whether they'd be able to survive as a truly independent nation. Besides, Quebec has never really ceded their claims to most of Labrador. If the Quebec/Canada split were acrimonious enough, you'd have to believe Quebec would make demands on Labrador(ian? ese?) territory.

Do you think the Maritimes could survive as an independent nation?

[Greed and Death]

As proposed but Canada only gets to be one state, We can't have those Canucks causing trouble in the Senate.

[OMGeverynameistaken]

Oh God, no. And "oh God, no" to the Canadese replacing their monarch with George Washington on their currency. Don't they know anything about their history?

I think that, overall, it would only be possible to improve Canada's paper money. God that stuff is hideous.

We can let them keep their coins, though. Just take Lizzy off the front and replace her with Andrew Jackson. Everybody loves Andrew Jackson! Except Injuns, but their opinion doesn't matter.

[Innis-Gunn]

I'm amazed that 20% of those Canadians polled wanted to be annexed. I thought the animosity between the two was much more widespread than that.

Aren't their people who oppressed the natives in Canada we can put on money as well ?

I think any nation can survive as an independent nation (even Mauritania), it just might all go arse-over-tits (like Mauritania and now Ireland). Newfoundland was an economic wreck for most of its independent history (so much so that it became a British puppet dictatorship in the 1930s), but now it has a wealth of hydroelectric and wind power, so it might do well. The Labrador land dispute would indeed be quite hairy and would probably make the "Jews and Arabs all fighting over this useless strip of desert" remark pale into insignificance.

Same with the Maritimes, they could survive independent, but it wouldn't be beneficial. However, being a detached part of Canada with a hostile Quebec in between wouldn't be much fun either, and joining the US would be anathema to quite a large portion of the population.

One word: Québec. Almost half of them would rather be anything than Canadese.

I'd assumed they were just pissy about anyone trying to tell them what to do. US or Canada, they're all evil bastard oppressors and all that jazz.

[Person012345]

Do it. Then those fucking dumbasses who advocate stealing other people's land by force can find out what it's like to have bombs killing their families and destroying their homes and lives. They can get a taste of what war is really like. They won't be in favour of invading anyone for a long time afterwards.

Mais les États-Unis sont une République, comme la belle France! Les États-Unis étaient proppé-up par la belle France dans la revolution Americaine!

Now I want to shoe horn that into a conversation with french friends.

I can't remember which province it was (I think Newfoundland and Labrador, as that would make the most sense), but I seem to recall hearing that one had initially considered joining the US.

No, we need an American to put on their money so that they realize they're Americans now.

Also, Quebecois will no longer be allowed to speak French. Canada's been far too soft on them in my opinion. It's time for a crackdown. That or we sell them to France.

Yes. It was when Newfoundland was heading towards a referendum on continued independence or union with Canada, when there was a brief campaign to get union with the US added to the ballot. It wasn't, and Canada won by a very small margin.

ANNEX CANADA!!!!

[Yootwopia]

This was settled after the whole Trent Affair got worked out.

[The chrisman union]

Canada is cool as it is. Annexing it would just screw with the atmosphere of the place. Don't you have NAFU, that's sort of annexing, right?

When they were voting whether to remain independent or join Canada, after WW2, the idea of joining the US was brought up. I don't think it was ever taken seriously.

[Msigroeg]

The could try, but they'd break against the iron will of Her Majesty and the NeoBritish Empire.
