I was searching through my history notes earlier, when i discovered a tidbit I wrote down - "Florida and Canada could join the country w/o approval from Congress, unlike the other states".
After further discussion with my History teacher, apparently, it was one of the first American laws - the US would absorb Canada if its populace wished so. Now, this law was made back when Canada only went as far west as Lake Superior, it wasn't the 2nd largest country in the world yet. However, is this law still intact?
I'm not saying "Canada SHOULD be in the US", but the idea intrigues me. Will there be a scenario where Canada finds its best interests in joining the USA? (Something tells me we might change our name to "The United States of North America" at that point...) I know there was a show about this, but I haven't necessarily seen it.
So elaborate. What if? How if? May if?(I am looking forward to FRIENDLY Canadian opinions...also maybe a hailer from The Isles could enlighten us on Canada's inception) (but seriously Canadians, i mean you no harm. Here's some chocolate, and a moose shirt)
Yeah, America would pretty much be shunned. Canada is a much loved country on the world stage. Mainly in Europe.
Don't forget China, our best buddy.
it'll take some time for Canadian investments to actually make some of that stuff useful [Primarily the fresh water, there's no real long distance trade of the stuff, and the Oil, it's locked away very nicely.
Well, we could do it, and we are kind of going it, but it costs a lot and here in Canada, we care a bit more about the environment.
