I say yes, but only if we get to rename it “Canuckistan”...

[Ciexyz]

I want to be able to travel to Canada without having to pay almost a hundred bucks for a friggin' passport.

[Tall_Texan]

Actually, they’d be the 54th State after Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and Mexico.

You made me laugh milk out of my nose.

We get:

Alberta
Saskatchewan

They get:

Vermont
The coast of CA, OR, and WA
Maine

Will Canada Become the 51st State?

I thought they already were.

[Red Badger]

... Though I wouldn’t mind just taking conservative Alberta and leaving the rest.

Would the NFL have to have 100 Meter fields?.........

The group’s problem appears to be that there is very nearly zero desire for such a union in either country.

I wouldn’t personally be averse to some of the Canadian provinces joining, if their people desired to, but I’m not interested enough to spend time promoting the idea.

The Canadians in many ways have the best of both worlds. They are protected against any potential threat by the US military, which they don’t have to pay for, and they can spend their time lecturing us about the evils of our militarism.

Canada as a single state would be larger than the other 50 combined...

Not after Globull Warming takes effect..........

Hey, they don't get San Diego.

Shouldn’t be too tough to do. The dollars are almost equivalent and they drive on the correct side of the road.

The multi-lingual signs have to go, though.

Canadian land lost to sea rise would be mostly in the North, where very few people live anyway. Meanwhile, the US loses most of FL, LA and other heavily populated areas.

Global warming would make a lot more of Canada inhabitable. I think they’d be a net gainer.

What would really screw Canada over would be a renewed ice age. :)

[Roy Tucker]

Yuck! No thanks. Republicans would never win another election. Happy to have them where they are, 80% of them huddled within 100 miles of our border.

Nah, year round hockey and the skiing would be awesome!........

[Sherman Logan]

Have you considered moving to Greenland or Antarctica?

[Pining_4_TX]

It is confusing, isn’t it? Pretty soon all the Americans will be overseas, and all the foreigners will be here.

Wait until the Canadians find out they will have to switch to low flush toilets. Then you’ll see open rebellion!

And then there’s this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RHVoFpncgA

that’s stupid.

we can’t run our own country.

The framework for a North American super-state already exists. It's called the U.S. Constitution.

There's just one problem: the Socialists hate the Constitution. That's the reason for the SPP...they can write up their own Constitution to replace the current one.
