Would it be so bad if Canada became a part of America?

i dont want america to even be near canada, let alone invade uskirbyfanatic

I agree. Let's build a wall.

then mexico, then all of South America, Europe, Asia, and Austrailia.

/sarcasm That would suck I'm tired of Americans thinking we (Canucks) Don't need a country.

Dude Canada is already part of the America.

Proof! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29g57XTYgLE&mode=related&search= :P

NOOOOOOO.

Hell no.

I want nothing to do with the US.

Here's the deal. You guys can have Quebec.

In fact, you won't even have to invade. I am officially GIVING you Quebec. Enjoy.

Hey hey hey...we don't want Quebec either. We weren't even going to annex Quebec after we invaded.

[QUOTE="GettingTired"]That would be bad actually. A majority of Canadians are snobs. This thread is a good example. Pretty much like the French.UrbanSpartan125

Atleast we're not the #1 contributer to global warming... Anyway, there is a line called the border, stay on your side, PLEASE,& we will stay on ours, for the most part (travelling & whatnot).

You basically just admitted that we're snobs.

lol, I know but I get a little sensitive when Americans want to take over our country.

Hahahahahahahaha oh my god I've never laughed so hard at a post on the internet in my life. That was sarcasm right? Do you have any idea what our natural resources are worth?

I think the Canadians constantly eggsagerate how different they are to us. I mean it's like they do that just to look different and not be part of the highly-bashed country so they say this stuff like "we're not like them, so don't start hating us too". It's rather annoying.camreeno360

It's true, we're nothing like you. Canada is a vast country, only Southern Ontario is similar to mainstream US culture.

You do know what happened to the last country that boasted about its natural resources to us, right? I get the feeling that it won't be long until we find out that Canada has obtained WMDs...

It would be bad if the people thought it was bad. If it was well received, it would be a good thing because people are happy. And if people are happy, only good things can come from that.

But, noone would like the idea, so it would be a mostly bad decision. The US economy is very strong though in that is able to handle such large tragedies, such as 9/11. So i know the US economy could handle it. Not so sure about Canada, they could bring our economy down.

And what type of government would be have? Capitalistic government i guess.

What difference does that make? Southern Ontario's population is minimal compared to the total population, which still means that most Canadians are nothing like Americans.

[QUOTE="whitetiger3521"]No it wouldnt be bad.. We all wanna be Canadicans! Denjin_hadouken

Theres cultural differences that point out that Canada is not the same as America. Bags of Milk:|CommanderShiro

It would work perfectly! Canada is only 20% french and the rest is english (for the americans that dont know that) We all speak the same language with the same accents....no we do not say EH unless we want to get our asses kiked ;). We would be the most feard country in the world and no other country could ever stand up to us.

Personally i wouldnt mind the name

United States of Canada

However every single country in the world would disagree to this because they would have no power in the world. Canada and america are basically the same countries with some minor diffrences. Canada has an awsome navy fleet and america has the most feard army in the world. ONE DAY It will happen....we should just leave quebec behind and let them be there own country and join the states. That means we would have no french and 335 million people

First, that name would NEVER work out. EVAR. It would make it seem like the States are part of Canada, and Americans would not be happy over that.

The name would be like... The United American States... or The United Northern States. Something like that.

Yeah, I highly doubt Canada, or any other country for that matter, would agree to merge with the U.S. unless they were really desperate.

I think in the future there will be less countries.....so I believe it will one day happen...just like Europe will be one country. I'm not talking about in our lifetime, however.

I doubt it, because that would spawn new world wars.

About that percentage of us are Mexican and we atleast have a choice between Spanish, French, German, and occasionally Japanese. Sucks for you guys.

Another thing. Why do you constantly use the word "melting pot" as derogatory? And different accents? Yeah, about as different as a blue house and a house that's blue...You pronounce your vowels a little different, that's it. You're exaggerating. Both America and Canada share lots of Anglo Saxon traditions such as architecture, cuisine, language, and all the main things...Well in the Northeast at least.

Where in my post did it make a derogatory implication that America is a melting pot? It just means that our culture is different. I didnt say which one is good/bad. Also if you've been anywhere to any other province/territory other than Ontario, you'd know that even Canadians have VERY different accents, so I'm not even going to bother with the U.S accent comparison. You cant exclude anything, Southeast and Southwest are not Canadians? What about up north, where our first nations people inhibit? They dont even speak English most of the time, rather, their native tongue. As for Anglo-Saxon traditions, not really...our diverse ethnic composition really takes away from that, and it's becoming more apparent by the day.

Have you been outside of BC at all? I've been to Quebec, PEI, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario (my residence) and Canadians in general (even of Caucasian descent), speak with very different accents. With regards to my ethnic background, yes I'm an "easterner", but I speak English as good as the rest of you "Westerners" because I was raised here since a young age and no less "Canadian" than you.

1. So what? More proof that we're not America Jr.

2. Same as above.

3. Americans are stereotyped as fat Mcdonalds eating couch potatoes.

4. Our military is quite advanced actually.

But American culture demands/expects that immigrants to conform to mainstream American/white way of live, so even with 1/3 of your population being non-white, it doesn't make a strong point. Also only 20% of Canadians are of English descent, it's true, check Wikipedia.

I dont hate America at all, I'm just a defender of Canadian identity. I didnt say Canada is more diverse, I said Canada composed of diverse ethnic groups. Sorry about the southwest/southeast thing, but my argument remains. With only 20% of Canadians being of English descent, and our society lenient towards immigrant's integration into mainstream Canadian society (we dont push them), and the way our society/country is structured. I still argue that Canada != America Jr.

America is a melting pot, Canada is a salad bowl. (assimilation vs multiculturalism), yes out government actually promotes multiculturalism.
