It's days like today that I wish canada was a state-in fact, a few states, then they'd have more EVs. If all the canadian provinces joined, what would there EVs be?

I dunno the actual pop'l of them all, but just estimating, it would be 3 for Yukon, NWT, and Nunavut, 5 for BC, 5 for Alberta, 4 for Manitoba, 4 for Sasketchewan, 16 for Ontario, 10 for Quebec, 4 for NB, 5 for Nova Scotia, 3 for PEI and 3 for Newfoundland, or so, which would mean 68 new EVs, most of which would go to the Democrats.

They'd win BC, Ontario, Quebec, NB and Nova Scotia, at least, eh?

I like Canada; I love America.

I'm just saying that it would be great to have Canada as part of the US; then the Democrats would have an even greater chance of winning the election Smiley

Plus also, I think most americans would like to have Canadians as US citizens, they are always so polite. it would help our world image no end Tongue

As long as you spare me the conclusion that I should move to Canada becvause I posted about how many EVs Canada would have, in a post that said nothing positive or negative about Canada.

Our nation is glorious because we keep incorporating states. Imagine how much our economy  would grow if all of a sudden we added another g8 economy beside us?

In all ways, except for the fact the Republicans would find it harder to win elections, the admission of Canada could only benefit us.

Plus, it would make free public healthcare a state issue, because it is unlikely that the Canucks will get rid of it, therefore allowing current US states to introduce it without it having to be nationwide, which would probably be too expensive. Although with the extra money from the new economy....

Because we have nearly 300 million people, and a President who is rasing spending on the military and cutting taxes.

I think if individual states want it, they should be able to have it.

It is possible, as has been proven by a couple.

I'm not saying they *will*, i'm saying that if they did, I would welcome them with open arms.

also, it would bring the US pretty close to the worlds biggest country, at least rivalling Russia, anyway.

jmf-if people like you got there way back in the 19th century, you wouldn't even be part of the US.

Voluntary expansion has made this country great. if Canada joined, i am more then sure it would only help our own country.

And maybe the EVs for the territories could be edited, CO, eh? Cheesy

I know Alberta is fairly conservative, and that BC is extremely liberal, but I didn't know that Sasketchewan and Manitoba would be Democratic too. Even more reason for their admittance Wink

B/C a great discussion on the integration of Canada became a discussion on individual members, and then you spent a couple of pages analysing the debate, and now its on an entirely different route.

Shouldn't we be trying to stick together? Don't let Rove win Sad

No, he put it as moderate. Although I think Minnesota is in the wrong one.

I just think we should stick together as a country, especially after 9/11.
