USA/Canada merger ?

Read an article in the local paper and he had a lot of good points.

Mainly, get rid of the boarder.

Opinions ?

Just noticed the spelling error in the title.

berkeley that.

Title fixed.

I wouldn't have an issue with it, but I'm not so sure our friends up north would feel the same.

Edit: LOL, and Lesley proves me right.

We couldn't deport Justin beiber if we merged.

May not be easy. We have strict landlord tenant laws up here.

berk that!! times 2!

But then who would be America's hat? The arctic ice? I suppose we don't need a hat in the summer quite as much as in the winter...

The answer is:

Annexation.

I hear there are US citizens up there that are in great peril. Great peril I say!

We should do it, but you get to keep Quebec!

If we were to merge, can we force them to stop putting gravy on fries? I mean, that right there is enough to keep them and us separate.

Poutine may be an affront to nature but the vinegar on fries idea is divine.

Thank the Brit's for vinegar. That said I applaud the idea of returning to British rule, aside from the CCTV/police state nature.

Please not Sarcasm. But only a little...

Not a chance.

If you ordered the hamburger platter (splatter platter) in my HS cafeteria, you not only got gravy on the fries, but all over the burger too. You had to eat it with a fork and knife.

Gravy + fries = awesome.

I agree borders are dumb. Take them away and our friends in Mexico have nothing to cross. I say Canada and America should unite, get rid of Obamacare, and take over Mexico.

And switch to single-payer, let's do it!

berkeley that X3

Love you guys, just don't want to be you.

It's closer than you realize :P

Back in my Coast Guard days, I was involved in a program called Shiprider, in which USCG and RCMP personnel would ride along with each other on patrols. This allowed us to continue pursuit of vessels across the border. Customs and local law enforcement on both sides already work together on International Border Enforcement Teams, is a joint intel sharing and communications link.

Canada and the US are far more alike than they are different, and unification would benefit both countries. If Mexico was included, and the union was more encompassing than that silly grouping the Europeans did, it would go a long way to improving everything.

America will eventually take over the world anyway, resistance is futile.

You have to remember an Americans idea of gravy is that white paste they pour on their blandified food.

My gravy ain't no white paste. I like gravy on smashed taters, gravy on fries does sound awesome.

I always wondered how the US would benefit from controlling Mexico. Seems very problematic. Could we solve Mexico's problems?

Better plan that I came up with a while ago.

US invades Canada.
Take over the bottom 100 miles or so, then build a giant wall there.
Use area north of the wall as a giant prison/resource zone, with Canadians as forced labor in the sweltering hell of the salt mines.

The last thing I want is for it to be easier for jagoff Canadians to come over the line and buy US milk and gas.
(Disclaimer: Most Canucks IN Canada are fine. Just the ones who come to the states to shop, they're mostly dicks)

Of course we could, and it wouldn't even require much government effort. Once the border is gone, people will begin moving down there, bringing money, jobs, and more money.

That money will fix Mexicos problem.

Poutine is amazing.

I've never had white gravy. And gravy is wrong on fries, as wrong as taking a perfectly good car (or even a crappy one) and making a ute out of it.
