The US and Canada should merge, amirite?

35 Million Canadians work and live in the US?????? I mean Canada has a population of 38 Million. I think there's something wrong.

The US is already too big to govern well. Making it bigger isn't a solution.

I came here to say this exact thing. I've been saying this for over a decade, America needs to split into like 7 countries.

It's a wonder that such a big country even has a "function" democracy and still is a big player in the world

Yeah no thanks. I live in Vermont and see how Canada is. Respect for my fellow moose + maple friends but I'm good.

'Issues resulting from borders' I just cannot but find that a very interesting thing to say.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

the Canadian border gives the US much less issues than the Mexican border

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Only because of it's location.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

More as in a lack of hostility that you may see regarding other countries borders, i.e. US and Mexico, Pakistan and Afghanistan, Bangladesh and India etc.

No, I don't think I'd like that. But thank you anyway.

I don't think that Canadians would tolerate Trump & Trumpism, which seems to prevail among a segment of the US population.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

They are putting up with Trudeau. I think you need to either research more, or get off of the internet.

No Canada's actually a pretty great country. American politicians would ruin that for them.

Why do you hate Americans?

I don't, I just think America is fairly tragic.

no thanks 👍. we don't want constant mass shootings and expensive healthcare over here

by Anonymous 2 years ago

I'll pass. I used to think it would be a good idea. The last decade the political dumpster fire the US government has been feeding is going to keep me separate.

Big Canada sounds preferential, yeah.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Why? So many issues between the two. For example: Canada charges higher taxes for 'free healthcare'. The 'free healthcare' is generations lower than what is available in the USA! So many Canadians go to the USA for healthcare, while only a few USA citizens (with dual citizenship) go to Canada for healthcare. That is just one example! Canada also does not believe int he 2nd amendment. SCOTUS confirmed the 2nd amendment in the USA is alive and well.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

The second ammendment has almost single handedly ruined the USA, and Canadian healthcare is not 'generations lower than what is available in the USA'. Taxes vs health insurance, why would you rather be paying multitudes extra to a private company?

by Anonymous 2 years ago

In the US, If I need a procedure or an operation, i can get it today. No problem since I am responsible for myself. Whether I pay cash, use insurance, or a combination, not an issue. Not the same as Canada. Hence, we have tens of thousands of Canadians every year visiting the US for medical treatment. Please explain how the 2nd Amendment has almost single handedly ruined the USA. I am very interested in your reasoning.

The USA has a greater range of experimental procedures available for purchase. Because why wouldn't it; with a profit-motive system, pharmaceutical companies will gladly take your money. The wait times for countries with universal healthcare is largely propaganda designed to finagle idiots into supporting a system that is first and foremost designed to extort money out of citizens. I'm not as familiar with Canada, but I've had treatment in the UK and have never been faced with unreasonable waiting periods; I could have my kidney out today if that's what I needed, and not be faced with inordinate medical bills for the privilege of being sick, not being able to work, and presumably going through prolonged treatment (dialysis). But you won't be told. Mention death panels, next. >Please explain how the 2nd Amendment has almost single handedly ruined the USA. I am very interested in your reasoning. An amendment wildly misinterpreted (well-regulated militias) to allow people to ignore the very real tragedies associated with widespread gun ownership in the name of 'freedom'. It'd be hilarious if it weren't so tragic, the brain rot that exists in American culture to allow these things to happen basically unchecked.

Wow. You are just vomiting your media's talking points. I hope you wake up some day.

As much as i love canada, yeah...USA is too big it needs to shrink. Thats the only chance we have at effective free healthcare really.

Tbh a think an economic union achieves this in a better way

by Anonymous 2 years ago

What purpose would this achieve? The US is already broken down into 50 states, and the states have quite a bit of autonomy (as illustrated during the pandemic). Would Canada be the 51st state? or the 51st through 56th state, or whatever? Other than the simple fact that it would never, ever happen, I can't see why you would even want it to happen.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

I think it would be great if everyone involved is ok with it. But that being said Canadians don't want to join the union and that goes against the whole principle of self determination. Unless they change their Minds and want to join, I'm not ok with them being forced to join.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

uhh no? Not sure it's needed plus Canada is apart of the commonwealth us annexing Canada would create issues in the long run.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Wow lots of people here really the US is better...weird. Maybe they love regular mass shootings, unregulated capitalism and paying extortionate amounts for healthcare and education. All Americans I've met have been lovely, kind people. Truly. But Americas issues are almost comically grotesque

You could make this same general argument about many neighboring countries, and it would almost always (literally always?) be a bad idea. There's currently a war on over one of those situations, and a near war over another.
