I do belive in the original US Articles of Confederation, Canada was allowed to become a member of the United States at their own will..personally I think that should be a Canada, America & Mexico but we be able to trade states or counties or even just citys

Sure - and we have a newly appointed finance minister as well. The one that just left wasn’t conservative enough. One problem - what do we do with Quebec?

Not going to happen. Quebec is not going to become part of a huge English speaking super country. It will secede long before the US and English Canada ever merge.

I’m unclear why we would need amendments to absorb Canada.

We annexed Texas, an independent country, by a joint resolution of both houses of Congress after the President was unable to get the necessary 2/3 in the Senate to ratify a treaty of annexation.

Based on this precedent, all we need is a majority in Congress.

Adding new states is a process with lots of precedent. Based on their population, about 12% of ours, Canada should be admitted as about 8 states.

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and hell no.

Why would we want Quebec and why would they want our congress and Federal reserve? Sounds like a match made in hell to me. If anything the trend for the next 20 years will be towards smaller states, not larger ones.

Sorry, my math makes no sense. Canada should come in as 4 or 5 states giving them 8 or 10 senators.

I say that we take Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan and tell the rest to come back later when they have something better to offer.

We are getting to the goal of 57 states with those 3...

The 4 Maritime Provinces might get in as one state,

No... They should be part of Maine...

Tim Horton’s is not enough.

I'd rather have Dunkin and Krispy Kreme..

What about British Columbia??

We don’t need to “join forces”.

The USA (and allies) just need to stop acting like total puss*es if they want to be powerful leaders.
