It has been suggested that Canada should join the United States and Become the 51st state. I agree with this on the premise that our cultures are practically identical and there would be little problem with assimlating them. Anyway My plan is to just annex the first 100miles of the canadian border with the US. It has about 90% of their population so the rest of canada would fall in line after time. If you have any better ideas please feel free.

The reasons why we should are as follows:
1. Similar culture.
2. Similar dialect of english
3. already very close
4. Canada isn't really a country anyway.....

* I don't mean to make fun of canadians or insult anyone This post is meant strictly as a hypothetical, I mean I LOVE CANADIANS there just so damn fun lol.

What would happen to the rest of Canada past the first 100 miles?

The reasons why we should are as follows:
1. Similar culture.
2. Similar dialect of english
3. already very close
4. Canada is really a country anyway.....


How is 'Canada is really a country anyway.....' a reason???

Anyway... no, cananda also speaks french.

It would not be the 51st state, but a number of new states.

Why should they join the US, there is no good reason to.

There are plenty of reasons:
1. Their economy would get a boost, espiecially in the technology sector.
2. Their military would become one of the strongest in the world instantly (which would protect them from all their new found enemies)
3. Less taxes on imported goods
4. They could be just as arrogant as they want now.

Also they could just be one big state, like texas..... wait that didn't really work out........ well we'd figure something out. Plus they wouldn't be ruled by their ruthless dictator queen Elizabeth the Second!

Actually, the statistic is that 90% of Canadian's live within 320 km (200 miles) of the US, and if you only went that far north, the oil sands and hibernia would still be Canadian (so Alberta would still have the lowest taxes of any state/province in N. America).

There's very good reason...

1. We have a better enonomy.
2. We are God's chosen country.
3. We have more freedom than you.
4. God is on our side.
5. We're peacekeepers of the world.
6. We're the world police.
7. God is on our side, because we are His chosen country.
8. We got guns. BIG guns. We'll pwn j00 nooby pacifist Canadians in ANY war. Plus, with God's smiting powers, we'll pwn j00.
9. We have Dubya. You don't.
10. We have God.
11. You don't.
12. We got nukes.
13. We're the land of the free. You're not.
14. Our flag pwnz j00r sissy "maple" flag. Who needs trees, anyway?
15. We got the BEST enviroment. Plus, in World War 1, we held 80% of the world's oil. You didn't.
16. Our country has a better name.
17. AMERICA! **** yeah!

(sarcasm)

I'm sorry, TheEvilMass, but this is a very dumb idea.

4. Canada isn't really a country anyway.....

you=moron

How arrogant to think that a sovereign nation would roll over begging to be a part of the US.

1. Canada is already a world leader in most hightech industries.
2. Who cares, Canada has only ever been invaded twice (Britain and the United States)
3. There aren't supposed to be taxes on stuff imported from the US (NAFTA)
4. I don't need to comment on this do I?

I know, DAMN can't you people get my Satire!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would the US want Canada as a state? Miles and miles of nothing doesn't sound very appealing.

Why would Canada want to be a state? They've already got a decent system for providing everyone with healthcare, why take a step backward?

because we are cool.....

There are plenty of reasons:
1. Their economy would get a boost, espiecially in the technology sector.

Canada already has some of the most radically advanced technology in bio, nano, military, and civil fields. We are surpassing the US in many of them.

2. Their military would become one of the strongest in the world instantly (which would protect them from all their new found enemies)

Canada has THE BEST Air Force in THE WORLD. And the only reason we would NEED a stronger military would be the "newfound enemies" of the USA!!!!

3. Less taxes on imported goods

You can lower taxes on our evil beef and softwood lumber without assimilating us, thank you very much.

4. They could be just as arrogant as they want now.

Canadian's aren't arrogant. We are proud of our achievements. We have TEN TIMES LESS your population, and we are outstripping you in several fields.

Also they could just be one big state, like texas..... wait that didn't really work out........ well we'd figure something out. Plus they wouldn't be ruled by their ruthless dictator queen Elizabeth the Second!

Canada has many Provinces and Territories. We could never be a single State. My God, I'm surprised you have the intelligence to type.

There are so many fallacious logical errors in your post I cannot enunciate them all and keep my sanity.

Yes Yes..... But wouldn't it be great to have the world all over burn you flag too? hmm think about it? Don't you want to be refered to as the Great Satan? Its fun it really is... plus no more monarch just you know have the US rule you in every way... Let Freedom Ring!!

Yeah, but what do we do with the French?

hmmm bad grammer day..... maybe I should spell check or something....

Wouldn't it just be a lot better if some of the US annexed and became provinces in Canada? BLUE STATES UNITE! JOIN CANADA!

Yeah, but what do we do with the French?

Make them learn spanish, just for shits and giggles....

How arrogant to think that a sovereign nation would roll over begging to be a part of the US.


Texas did exactly that.

Anyway, since most of you seem to be INCREDIBLY dense, and are actually taking offense to the OP's post, I'll just clarify:

HE WAS ONLY KIDDING.

The internet is serious business, and that post you quoted isn't filled with sarcasm at all. :cool:

you don't get it, he wasn't being serous. Most americans don't think we own the world but he few who do deserve to be shot while being sodomized by an angry pig. Also We do have enough nukes to conquer the world. And by conquer I mean tottally destroy it three times over... If that counts. LOL also by saying all americans are stupid is in itself stupid considering we have some of the best schools in the world here. Also Dubya... you know bushy boy, that curropt bastard who stole the elections (as you put it) anyway... the focus is on canada and why they should join this great nation. (I SEE the ARROGANCE AND I AM PROUD OF IT)

Also if your refering to me as stupid try again your talking to someone with a 168 IQ.... I Like to boast myself too also if you can't see that we are all being sarcastic well then......(Blinded by ignorance)..... too bad! Lol

Well, now that wouldn't be very fun would it? Canadians have their own fun, some might say more fun. I think, though, that Canada should sever ties with the Commonwealth, it makes them look like the UK's puppet government. Does anyone watch Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central? Oh, and Canada secretly rules the world, but their just too nice to say so.

No thanks. However, the blue states are welcome to join Canada. Especially Hawaii. Cuz it's warm and grows pineapples. :D

Why would the US want Canada as a state? Miles and miles of nothing doesn't sound very appealing.

Precisely. Just think about it: miles and miles of unspoiled nature awaiting the hordes of overweight tourists leaving their trash everywhere.

Yes, funny show. And I am aware that the canadian Gov secretly rules the world and "selects" 1000 children every year to be "puriefied" anyway... The common wealth LOL, what a losley organized worthless organization. Honestly can anyone tell me what they do? There all supposed to be democratic but when one gets overthrown (cough Pakistan cough) they only get a slap on the wrist. I think its just the UK trying to hold on to some of their former glory..

But I digresss.... the name of the state shouldn't be named canada but perhaps America Two or northern Mexico (after Mexico takes over the US in WWIII)

Well, if you guys get rid of those nasty government and trade deficits and are willing to adopt the Canadian dollar, we might just think about letting you join as the 11th province.

Also if your refering to me as stupid try again your talking to someone with a 168 IQ.... I Like to boast myself too also if you can't see that we are all being sarcastic well then......(Blinded by ignorance)..... too bad! Lol

168 IQ according to what? What test?

Take this one (http://uk.tickle.com/test/iq.html) and we shall see

For it, if only because it would shorten the pre-show at Ranger games: we'd no longer have a Canadian National Anthem to wait through... :D

My last IQ test was my freshmen year of high school and that was the score I got... I am now in my sophmore year of college So its probably a lot higher... Then again I could fall and hurt my head any day now can't I? LOL essentially I am a genius considering anything above 150 is considered that. 168 is the last concrete number I got I would take another one but those TEsts take forever!!! and they are so damn annoying "does this shape fit in which hole and vice versa blah blah blah" anyway.... back to canada...

You can lower taxes on our evil beef and softwood lumber without assimilating us, thank you very much.

You can lower your illegal taxes on our evil beef and softwood lumber... I might add.

see all I wanted was an answer... well want to help the US invade greenland?

i'm half breed canadian-American and I got the best of both worlds...except I burn uber easily, but thats why I'm rich.......oh, and Canada has a cooler flag than America, I mean come on, syrup is awesome....we're the syrup people.

In every war with the states, Canada has won, also we burnt down your white house, so don't get any ideas.

The US will not annex Canada, its the other way around... (http://cwd.ptbcanadian.com/)

yes syrup is good but beware of the path of syrup. If you abuse it it will be running your life. you will wake up in the middle of the night getting a fix only to find out that your out and that all the stores are close. You will then resort to finding some maple tree and getting the syrup out of that... syrup will run your life and you would always keep a bottle in close proximity....... Beware of syrup beware...... it is good on pancakes though....

Bullshit argument. I consider it spam.......

In every war with the states, Canada has won, also we burnt down your white house, so don't get any ideas.
A. You never won any wars against the US.
B. It wasn't canada it was britain
C. Canada didn't come into bein until 1982 with the pass of the consititution act in English paralment..
D. We burnt york down and it was fun. but the brits came back and burn our capital too.
E. i know the alphabet
F. Canada's military is not very good, someone mentioned canada having the best airforce.. far from it, everyone knows israel has the best air force in the world...
G. g comes after F

Enjoy!

Also if your refering to me as stupid try again your talking to someone with a 168 IQ.... I Like to boast myself too also if you can't see that we are all being sarcastic well then......(Blinded by ignorance)..... too bad! Lol
High IQ is hardly anything special around here. Besides, I've met some remarkably stupid people with surprisingly high IQs so I don't think it means much.

As for having a higher IQ because you're older, the opposite is just as likely, at least if you took a proper IQ test (not online). Any real IQ test is scaled based on your age so that older people have to do better to get the same score (up to a certain age, when they scale flattens out).

Anyway, as far as the real topic of the thread goes, as an American citizen, I like the idea of absorbing Canada - it might makes things a little better around here. But as a Canadian citizen, I shudder at the thought of Canada being subjected to American policy and politicians, and think we're just fine on our own thank you.

Interesting though that most Americans like the idea of joining Canada, but most Canadians don't like the idea of joining America, it makes you think doesn't it? :D

Yeah that does seem to be the case. Also i find it depends on what provice your from.. People from PEI seem to like the idea while People from Quebec seem to hate it.... I don't know anyone from BC. Albertans(is that what you call them) seem to hate it as well. And people from Ontario seem to like it somewhat but more half and half. And most Americans love the idea of adding another state no matter what it really is.... hell it can be cuba or china for all we care... lol


Also midgets are working to destroy us... they are working from tunnels the canadians made for them and canada was WMD's we MUST destroy them before they destroy us.. We must "free" the people of canada. (and by free I mean bomb them and make their lives a living hell...

Yeah, but what do we do with the French?
The same thing everyone wants to do with them anyway. Throw them all in a bag and let them slap fight their way out. My money's on the woman and that many available French women can't be all that bad. ;)

4. Canada isn't really a country anyway.....

Since when is Canada not a real counrty?

I also don't think the people of Canada would like the idea very much.

Oh, c'mon, who are we kidding?

Okay I cede the fact that canada is a real country, but I think a country needs to be soverign for at least 30 years before i can be "real" and canada hasn't been soverign for that long... their still on probabtion... nation wise that is..

A. You never won any wars against the US.
B. It wasn't canada it was britain
C. Canada didn't come into bein until 1982 with the pass of the consititution act in English paralment..

F. Canada's military is not very good, someone mentioned canada having the best airforce.. far from it, everyone knows israel has the best air force in the world...
G. g comes after F

Enjoy!
A. You invaded, you were pushed back. I call us a win.
B. With Canadian (both Upper and Lower) militia.
C. That is pure bullshit. Let's get one thing straight: we were a country before that. 1982 was a modification of the constitution. Does the states become a new country every time an amendment is added to the constitution?
D. So we had a few setbacks... doesn't mean we lost the war.
E. Good for you
F. While the guy mentionning Canada as the best airforce in the world may be a bit delusionnal, you are equally so when you say that everyone knows Israel has the best airforce. Even if true, I didn't know it. My entire family don't know it, so your statement is false.
G. depending on which frame of reference you use.

It would not be the 51st state, but a number of new states.

Why should they join the US, there is no good reason to.

More blue states. Heh.

Bring Canadian socialism to US?

Develop the NAU?

How arrogant to think that a sovereign nation would roll over begging to be a part of the US.


If the Conservaitves were the federal goverment. They'd be welcoming the U.S with one arm and burning the Maple Leaf with the other.

Yeah, but what do we do with the French?
Kill 'em.

Also if your refering to me as stupid try again your talking to someone with a 168 IQ.... I Like to boast myself too also if you can't see that we are all being sarcastic well then......(Blinded by ignorance)..... too bad! Lol
Stop being so arrogrant. I.Q. simply measure how quickly your brain works, and has nothing to do with actual intelligence and does not change with age (as you claim later on). The smartest person I ever met was actually a complete idiot, no common sense at all.

And it wasn't good satire, by the way.

I know, DAMN can't you people get my Satire!!!!!!!!!!!

The best satire is the one that fools people to believe your not joking. Take it as a compliment.

I'd prefer Canada and the United States stay seperate, especially since it is on my list of places I might move when older.

See now your making pull out proof to backup my outlandish claims! (yes I used outlandish HAHA). First off.. Canada didn't exist in 1812 it was not a country and therefore couldn't have won a war. Canada was involved for a good part of it and canadian troops did win some battles but the war was won by neither party. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_history_of_Canada read it is somewhat informative. Essentially Canada wasn't soverign until 1982 where they actually had the power to make changes on their own. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_Air_Force go here you can see their air forcei is top notch. anyway I wasn't saying that everytime you change you consititution it makes you a new country. I was pointing out that you weren't a country until 1982 not a new one. You were mearly a piece of Uk property until then.

If we did join, bush would be dead within a month or two.

We could all be one big liberal, bilingual, really big country-family-thing :)

After we annex Canada, Mexico can annex Texas again xD

If we did join, bush would be dead within a month or two.

Amen to that! :cool:

Yeah too bad we can't de-annex countries huh? we could do a trade type of deal? Texas for canada thats a good deal... We just need to find someone who wants texas.... Maybe France?

ok for everyone who doesnt know what I.Q. is....

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT I.Q. IS :confused:

its debated constantly by scientists whether is the mass of knowledge your brain has or CAN have or how quickly you comprehend things, and alot of other b.s.

but your I.Q. typically stays the same IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY GROW AS YOU AGE. you can be the smartest ten-year-old with an I.Q. of 190 but then as you grow you simply become an average 21-year-old and have an I.Q. of 135. obviously an extreme happening but your I.Q typically stays the same

Originally Mexico owned Texas, we'll consider it a gift ;)

France will only want it if Britain wanted it first o.o

I know, DAMN can't you people get my Satire!!!!!!!!!!!

I got it...

I know that, but some jokes have poor taste. This part is where I stopped laughing and started getting upset:




Its a quote from a movie mang :cool:


A. You invaded, you were pushed back. I call us a win.


We were pushed back by British forces, fyi. Also, I don't think a single war between a colony of an empire and a fledgling nation with no navy to speak of counts.

Of corse, if you'd like for a modern U.S.A. and a modern Canada to have a go at it, we could see what the results would be. :D

I.Q.= Intelligence Quotient

Yes yes get the freaking point. I digress for one moment and state my Iq and everyone gets all pissed.... Please stop with the IQ stuff if you want I'll make a thread dedicated to that honestly people if you want to argue whose IQ is bigger or what really makes an IQ go ahead but at another post please.

Now back to canada...
Maybe we should make them choose a new leaf for a flag? Also they should all learn portuguese. its a really good language.

It has been suggested that Canada should join the United States and Become the 51st state. I agree with this on the premise that our cultures are practically identical and there would be little problem with assimlating them. Anyway My plan is to just annex the first 100miles of the canadian border with the US. It has about 90% of their population so the rest of canada would fall in line after time. If you have any better ideas please feel free.

The reasons why we should are as follows:
1. Similar culture.
2. Similar dialect of english
3. already very close
4. Canada isn't really a country anyway.....

* I don't mean to make fun of canadians or insult anyone This post is meant strictly as a hypothetical, I mean I LOVE CANADIANS there just so damn fun lol.

This is a bit late but are you some kind of retard?

Canadian culture is the opposite of American culture. Read the book Fire and Ice for scientific proof.

Canada isn't really a country anyway... MY ASS. How the hell are we not a country?

Pfffttt, stereotypical Americans, how I love them.

no one likes the u.s were a loved country everyone loves canada

There are plenty of reasons:
1. Their economy would get a boost, espiecially in the technology sector.
2. Their military would become one of the strongest in the world instantly (which would protect them from all their new found enemies)
3. Less taxes on imported goods
4. They could be just as arrogant as they want now.

1) Why do you assume our economy would benefit from it. We already have treaty with you to facilitate exchange. Also, the difference between our currency help a lot the commercial balance between US and Canada in favor of Canada.
2) We don't care about military because we know nobody will ever invade us. Especially with you as neighbor. Also, we are not interested in flunking billion in defense...
3) ???, On many thing, USA is way more protectionist than us. We may actually pay less then you do
4) You mean like you are rigth now?

Its a quote from a movie mang :cool:
and yet, I don't find it funny...

Besides not all comedies are funny. Have you ever heard of Attack of the Killer Tomato? So, just because a movie use a line, it doesn't mean it is worth repeating.

The ratio of tested mental age to chronological age, usually expressed as a quotient multiplied by 100.

Ah, dictionary.com you have a million uses :)

thats all im going to say about I.Q

Okay heres my logic: Canada already speak English and a good portion speaks French.. with Portuguese being one of the most widely speken languages it is the next logical choice. They need to learn something new. Spanish is too obvoius too.


Also when I say don't question Zodd I mean question him but only in a pleasant MANOR!!! I think

Canada has THE BEST Air Force in THE WORLD. And the only reason we would NEED a stronger military would be the "newfound enemies" of the USA!!!!

As much as I like to make fun of the Air Force (Go Navy!), I highly doubt Canada has the better Air Force. Regardless, I'd like to see any hot-shot Air Force pilot from any country take on a pilot in the US Navy. No contest!

America has its problems -cough- religious nutjobs -cough- bushies -cough- being very arrogant -cough- being generally stupid -cough- many other things, but what what we REALLY need is not a 51st state, but a civil war :D

Nah, the USA should be the tenth territory of Canada.
Maybe then we would not have asshats like Bush running countries.

About the economical reasons, I don't think it would be a very good idea for Canada to get any more involved in the economy of our neighbours to the South. I think that eventually, the American market is going to slump and the only way we'll be able to stay in the game is if we expand to European and Asian markets. That's just my theory though.

There's very good reason...

1. We have a better enonomy.
2. We are God's chosen country.
3. We have more freedom than you.
4. God is on our side.
5. We're peacekeepers of the world.
6. We're the world police.
7. God is on our side, because we are His chosen country.
8. We got guns. BIG guns. We'll pwn j00 nooby pacifist Canadians in ANY war. Plus, with God's smiting powers, we'll pwn j00.
9. We have Dubya. You don't.
10. We have God.
11. You don't.
12. We got nukes.
13. We're the land of the free. You're not.
14. Our flag pwnz j00r sissy "maple" flag. Who needs trees, anyway?
15. We got the BEST enviroment. Plus, in World War 1, we held 80% of the world's oil. You didn't.
16. Our country has a better name.
17. AMERICA! **** yeah!

(sarcasm)

I'm sorry, TheEvilMass, but this is a very dumb idea.

I know your being sarcastic, but aren't the Jews God's chosen people?
And if that were the case, wouldn't Israel be his chosen country?
(I'm a methodist by the way, I just pay attention to what it syas in the bible.)

Okay heres my logic: Canada already speak English and a good portion speaks French.. with Portuguese being one of the most widely speken languages it is the next logical choice. They need to learn something new. Spanish is too obvoius too.


Also when I say don't question Zodd I mean question him but only in a pleasant MANOR!!! I think


Logic:

Canada's languages: French and English
Our language: English

(French + English) - (English) = French *big gasp* :eek:

Nah, the USA should be the tenth territory of Canada.

Hey genius, Canada has 13 provinces.

Okay new plan of action we drop all the southern states call it Christ land and mege with canada and call it the United States of Logical nations or something along that lines...

As long as The United States of Canada gets to keep D.C., and Christ land gets the check for what they've spent ;)

To define Southern states should we use the 36' 30" line? xD

go here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada

Educate yourself on our canadian brothern, they know about us and we must know about them and If we don't they could win WWIV so watch out..

Hey genius, Canada has 13 provinces.
Well, that's a new one.

What about the 3 territories?

Hey genius, Canada has 13 provinces.
We have ten provinces and three territories. Not thirteen.

Hey genius, Canada has 13 provinces.

Hey genius, Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories.

To define Southern states should we use the 36' 30" line? xD

Well first things first you got the old confedracy, then you got to go with utah, arizona, Keep nevada (I love me some hookers and gambling) and basically any other state that uses Yall and is ranked below 25 in the worse education systems in the country.

We have ten provinces and three territories. Not thirteen.


Then why is it called the thirteen provinces of Canada? As well as you used the word territory, defining *any* space of land.

Now, if any nation would benefit from being absorbed into the United States, it'd be Mexico. Hell, most of the southern states are already speaking both english and spanish, so its not like the merging would be difficult.

Well first things first you got the old confedracy, then you got to go with utah, arizona, Keep nevada (I love me some hookers and gambling) and basically any other state that uses Yall and is ranked below 25 in the worse education systems in the country.

Then we'd lose D.C. :(

Speaking as a Canadian, I'd say you really are a complete fool. I do not know one Canadian who supports this view, but of course, lots of Americans just think "Let's take Canada, they'll become just like us eventually." We don't -want- to be like you.

America just sucks cultures into theirs. Canada lets them show. America is run by a war-raging psychotic, who Canadians supported since he was just too ignorant of Canada to care about them. Canada is peaceful. Why do you Americans think shooting people is good, anyway?

Your suggestion is stupid. We'll never support it.

(And apologies to any Americans who aren't the typical stereotype, I know not all Americans are war-crazed ignorant idiots.)

Canada has THE BEST Air Force in THE WORLD. And the only reason we would NEED a stronger military would be the "newfound enemies" of the USA!!!!

I know, I bet you could even have given Sadam's Air Force a run for the money!

Texas did exactly that.


Ack, there's that damn nervous twitch again.

You have to understand that even though Texas was its own soveregn nation for nine years, it was pretty much just America the entire damn time. The entire government was made up of Americans (though there were a few Mexicans in our Congress). Our fight for independence was fueled by rich Americans (along with the native Mexicans, who later got the shaft) landowners, who were also one of the main causes for starting it in the first place (granted, there had been a few rebellions before the bulk of Americans arrived, but they had been but down easily by the Mexican army).

So, heh, it isn't really surprising, considering the bulk of our population was American, that they'd eventually get home sick, say "Aw, **** it" and join the US.

Yes, I do loathe Americans, and yes, I'm Texan.

I hate war, I voted for Kerry, I don't want to *take* Canada, I don't like guns. There :)

It is not called the 13 provinces of Canada. Whoever said that don't know the first thing about how we run things here.

Seems like a good idea to me.

It is not called the 13 provinces of Canada. Whoever said that don't know the first thing about how we run things here.


Hehe, I won the geography bee at our school this year by these two questions:

Q: How many provinces are in Canada?
A: 13


Q: What continent crosses both the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn?
A: Africa


I blame America xD

You mean doesn't not don't?

Speaking as an American, I can say that taking Canada would be stupid. We're not as similar as most people like to think (I live really close to the border, so I know). They have many far-fetched policies (sorry, no offence, just my point-of-view), and I don't really think the Canadians would stand for it. If they managed to get over their fear of guns, they could revolt. It wouldn't last long, but they could shake things up a bit. It might be considered a good move, politically speaking, but it wouldn't work out.

Plus, we need to keep Canadian drivers OFF the American roads. For the love of God, keep them off the roads.

Yeah, but what do we do with the French?


There are more french in the US than Canada, you moron.

Response to the concept in general: FUCK NO!

Technically we are American. I leave you with these words for the greatest Canadian Comedy - Folk trio the Arrogant worms:

I am not American,
Though I live in North America
Which is part of the Americas
Which should make me an American

Geographically Canadians,
Are certainly Americans
As are Venisallians,
But not Hawaiians

They're out in the middle of the Ocean
Just like the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Who shoudn't say they are Americans,
Or even Virgins

How could two whole continents,
Lose their name to one Constitute
Where were we when the U.S. went,
And took the word American away?

But to be fair to them,
Their other name options,
Like U.S.A.ers or United Statesians,
Were pretty bad

Still I want to be as American,
As the French are European,
Or those in Antarctica are Antarctican
Even if they're just penguins

That leaves us Canadians as Northern North American,
But Alaska’s Norther curse them
We're surrounded by Americans
Americans, Americans!

I just called those U.S.A.ers Americans
A name meant for two continents not just them
For if I said I was American,
People would probably think I came from Maine

Still I think I have a plan,
Let's become Antarctican,
And join up with the penguins
For just like them, we're not American!

Well, I have to say that the state of US education is even poorer than I thought. Just forget everything you learned in that class as soon as your exams are over.

Now, if any nation would benefit from being absorbed into the United States, it'd be Mexico. Hell, most of the southern states are already speaking both english and spanish, so its not like the merging would be difficult.
Yeah, and about half the Mexican GDP is generated by US-based companies, and the Mexican president and his staff report to the US Congress more often than to the Mexican Congress (heck, they sometimes completely ignore the Mexican Congress).

You mean doesn't not don't?
oui.

Well, I have to say that the state of US education is even poorer than I thought. Just forget everything you learned in that class as soon as your exams are over.


I learn more from reading than school, I ace'd my exams while reading in class ;) School just ended today by the way.

For the record:

Any person who calls himself an "American", and lives in the U.S.A is a moron. There is no such thing as a country named "America". America is a geographical location (Specifically North and South America). Officially, we're United States citizens (and I refer to myself as such when traveling abroad, or I just say I'm from "those rebellious colonies" if I'm in the U.K.).

okay I got to go and I can't particpat anymore in this thread. You guys can continue but please note I am not really a narsasitic asshole imperialistic american, just showing off a negative sterotype for shits a giggles. Anyway CANADA is ours and we must RaPe their Land in order to get the DJIA up another 25% So Say-ith ZODD!!!!!!

American refers to citizens of the United States of America, though technically you're right. If you are from Canada and you say you're American people will look at you funny.

IMHO for people from the U.S. to call themselves "Americans" is a bit egotistical, as that implies we own the entire region. If I was in Canada, I'd just say I was from the States.

wait have to come back to squelsh moron... The offical name of the United States is: The United States of America hence known as americans... Not US-ian United states refers to our political establishment not our national indentity, if we were the United States of bob we would be called Bobians!!!!
The US is a group of somewhat independent American STates that grouped togther. By your logic, you being from the UK, we would call you a UK-ian!!!!

Well now, aren't we one-in-a-million? I mean, just about every person who lives in the US refers to themselves as 'Americans', and even leaders of foreign countries refer to 'United States Citizens' as Americans, but noo, we have to be "Politically Accurate", don't we? Before your next post, remember to remove that stick from your butt. It might make you more pleasant.

Why would Canada ever want to join with the U.S.???? Americans are idiots, like Bush!!! Canada is much better alone... And we are much more free then you americans! Who has an trade embargo with Cuba? You!!! We don't have any nukes, our people don't die in wars almost every day! You kill inocent people(Iraq Etc.) and you don't even have free health care!!!! I think that Canada should stay alone cause we're much smarter then you!!! :headbang:

[QUOTE=Galimn]There's very good reason...

1. We have a better enonomy. That's true, but US economy would weaken with canada
2. We are God's chosen country. There is no god, and you are such an egoist
3. We have more freedom than you. True, if you are from canada
4. God is on our side. still there is no god and you are being egoistic
5. We're peacekeepers of the world. no, US wages war against anyone they want

16. Our country has a better name. uhh... no
17. AMERICA! **** yeah! shut up with your narcisistic bullshit

btw, sweden rocks!!!

something about (not all americans, but everyones like you)

1. You think you own the world
2. You are patronising and wrong
3. You think that you are better than everyone else just because you have guns
4. Your political system is corrupt and your president cheated in the elections
5. You are basically stupid
6. Your cars are ruining the ozon layer and you are poisoning the earth more than anyone else.

DO I NEED TO SAY MORE???

I don't hate America, I just hate nationalist pigs...

If anyone cares to continue this unnecesary argument you can mail me on the following adress: da_ruler_89@hotmail.com

First, the word is EGOTIST. Second, bush didn't cheat, he just bent the system. Third, thank whatever replacement you have for God (booze, drugs, "free" healthcare, whatever it is) that gore didn't become president. Fourth, there is no proof that the ozone hole is even man-made, much less our fault, and even if it is unnatural, China and India and MUCH more at blame than the rest of the world combined, yet the UN ignores them when checking on clean air laws. Fifth, Canada suckles at the teat of American power already, so why not just admit the fact that Canada is just a large scale San Francisco, and make them join.

And yet, you proposed the law to pass out Marijuana to druggies on the streets to reduce crime level. Hmm...

"Who has an trade embargo..." Don't you mean "Who has 'a' trade embargo..."? And you say you're smarter. You can't even use English properly. No wonder you banned guns.

I was pointing out that you weren't a country until 1982 not a new one. You were mearly a piece of Uk property until then.

We are a country since 1867 when Canada was created. We had the hability to make our own laws and tax from there. We actually had a constitution written that year. Britain never really interfere after 1867

In 1982, few change have been made, but it was mostly for the show. Anyway, we are still stuck with the queen face on our penny (note to canadian fellow, did'nt the new queen face we got 2-3 years ago really disadvantage her?)

ok for everyone who doesnt know what I.Q. is....

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT I.Q. IS

its debated constantly by scientists whether is the mass of knowledge your brain has or CAN have or how quickly you comprehend things, and alot of other b.s.

but your I.Q. typically stays the same IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY GROW AS YOU AGE. you can be the smartest ten-year-old with an I.Q. of 190 but then as you grow you simply become an average 21-year-old and have an I.Q. of 135. obviously an extreme happening but your I.Q typically stays the same

Mathematicaly I.Q. is the ratio between your mental age/real age. That why 100 is normal. The only way you could gain I.Q. is from the massive education you can get between 10 and 25 years. This, because it is hard to design an IQ test that will fit a 10 years old and a 40 years old

No. No, no, no. No. No. No, nononono. No? No. [Expletive Deleted] Canada. [Expletive Deleted] those French-English bastards. [Expletive Deleted] those socialist panzies. They're almost as bad as the French, themselves. The only way I would even consider supporting the annexation of Canada would be if they were indefinately limited to three electoral votes. We'd never have a conservative President again, it would be horrible. And I'm not even talking about not having a Republican President. No one even remotely conservative would ever be elected if we gave Canada full rights as a state.

I won't be completely negative and spiteful, though. Here are some things Canada should do if they ever want to qualify for U.S. annexation:

1) Ditch their moronic healthcare system. National healthcare is a ridiculous idea that results in under-motivated Doctors that do half-ass jobs, as there is no reason for them to perform better than any other, and completely kills medicine as a source of economic growth.

2) Stop smoking pot. Hippies are a thing of the past, and neo hippies are complete idiots.

3) Stop claiming you burned down the White House. You weren't even a real damned country at the time, the "Dominion of Canada" wasn't formed for more than fifty years after the War of 1812 took place, and the military force that led the march on D.C. was entirely British, even if there were small pockets of Canadian natives scattered throughout the overall forces of the British.

4) Watch Jay and Silent Bob: Strike Back and laugh at it. Potheads are morons, and they are funny to watch. Just because it makes you look stupid doesn't mean it's not the funniest shit on Earth.

5) Watch Team America, and learn to worship it.

No. No, no, no. No. No. No, nononono. No? No. [Expletive Deleted] Canada. [Expletive Deleted] those French-English bastards. [Expletive Deleted] those socialist panzies.

Amen, Brother!
Conservatives. If there were more in office, this country would be go back to its good ol' roots. And that's a good thing.

Also if your refering to me as stupid try again your talking to someone with a 168 IQ.... I Like to boast myself too also if you can't see that we are all being sarcastic well then......(Blinded by ignorance)..... too bad! Lol
Someone with an IQ of 168 writes "you're" as "your" twice in one sentence?

1) Ditch their moronic healthcare system. National healthcare is a ridiculous idea that results in under-motivated Doctors that do half-ass jobs, as there is no reason for them to perform better than any other, and completely kills medicine as a source of economic growth.

You can say what you like as long as you don't mind people thinking you're a moron. The official term for a citizen of the USA is American .
You, my good sir, are a dolt!

Second, bush didn't cheat, he just bent the system.
Please... how is bending the system not cheating?

Third, thank whatever replacement you have for God (booze, drugs, "free" healthcare, whatever it is) that gore didn't become president.

Fourth, there is no proof that the ozone hole is even man-made, much less our fault, and even if it is unnatural, China and India and MUCH more at blame than the rest of the world combined, yet the UN ignores them when checking on clean air laws.
The ozone hole has been scientifically linked to human habits like CFCs. Besides, the UN is not a government but a collective of nations. If it ignores a problem, it's as much your fault than my fault than anyone's fault.

Don't play the victim here, Bush is the one who fires scientific advisors until he finds one who toe the party line. Bush is the one who slashes environmental protections already in place. Both Bush and Clinton refused to do their part to help by ratifying Kyoto because they feel that the US industries would be forced to invest massively and that hurts the bottom-line.

Where I live, acid rain is very real and the air currents tell us that the acid in my rain comes from Chicago and Detroit. The environment is a global concern. If China doesn't want to help, we have to do without them as it would serve no-one to have a dying planet.

Fifth, Canada suckles at the teat of American power already, so why not just admit the fact that Canada is just a large scale San Francisco, and make them join.
And yet we are independant and didn't go to your little war in Irak. You may think we suckle at the teat, but you are just as dependant on our goods and services.

Why would Canada ever want to join with the U.S.???? Americans are idiots, like Bush!!! Canada is much better alone... And we are much more free then you americans! Who has an trade embargo with Cuba? You!!! We don't have any nukes, our people don't die in wars almost every day! You kill inocent people(Iraq Etc.) and you don't even have free health care!!!! I think that Canada should stay alone cause we're much smarter then you!!! :headbang:

1) When you call people stupid, you should try to spell everything correctly.
2) We do, because they're stupid communists. But, you're right, we should hurry up and kill Castro and lift the embargo.
3) We kill "inocent" people in Iraq? Like... the Husseins? Oh, I forgot. Before Team America showed up, Iraq was a happy place. "They had flowery meadows, and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate where the children danced and laughed and played all day long with gumdrop smiles." Moron.
4) You're much smarter "then" us, eh? It's than, you dipshit. Learn basic grammar.

*applauds*

Let's face it, people. If Canada were as great as you're making it out to be, it'd be top dog in the world. But they aren't.

Then why is it called the thirteen provinces of Canada? As well as you used the word territory, defining *any* space of land.

The 3 territories located in the north of the country are 3 big chunk of land with less than 10 000 citizen. Since we did'nt want them to have the same weigth as other province to control Canada, we made them "territory" with there own government but without many power in Ottawa.

Because the American healthcare system seems to be working so much better. :rolleyes:

At least we can get doctors that are paid primarily on how much work they do. You see, capitalism creates a little thing called "motivation." Communism, which is what national healthcare falls under - not saying Canadians are Communist, although some are - does not.

Considering our current standings in the health category, I'd say we must be doing something right. Maybe the Canadians don't realize this as they're too busy smoking their Happy Leaves.
Let's face it, people. If Canada were as great as you're making it out to be, it'd be top dog in the world. But they aren't.
