Do you think the USA and Canada will ever be one country?

While I don't think they would ever become one country because of its values, racial, cultural, and religious diversity, it's people seem to treat each other as one big family.

No.  Canada is a lot more like Europe than America in many ways.  What they should do is form a united currency which would cut a lot of the costs out of trade.

We can only speculate on that. Look into the counter world of this. Each choice you make causes something different to happen. History has the same effect. I believe somewhere that happned. All the worlds are balanced. Okay i got off topic.\nI believe there would be no more u.s.a\n~Blessed be~

Yes they can.  Lots of Canadians own property in the US just as lots of people from the US own property in Canada.

the U.S is already working on that, they plan to annex Mexico and Canada by 2010 I don't know what the people think but both governments have not rejected the idea, that is the reason for the supper hi way that runs from Canada to Mexico.

I'm sure anyone from the USA would say they'd get along great.  But 85% of our goods and services are sent to the US.  So, I'm sure without our things, the US could potentially buy from someone else, but there's also the possibility of it being more expensive than they could get from us here in Canada.

Do they?  When did that start?  I'm Canadian and my husband and I have spent lots of time in the US and have many US friends and certainly have never felt hated.

Are you aware of the North American Union?\n\nNorth American Union to Replace the USA? \nPresident Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, \nhttp://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=14965

Probably not,  We would need one language, one culture and total political agreement.  There has not been peace for thousands of years, I doubt if we start anytime soon.

I am vehemently opposed to any attempt by any official to erase our borders, and conflate the cultures and governments of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Canada and Mexico might benefit from the deal, with the added economic and militaristic prowess of the US being added to their nation’s body, but the US will suffer from Mexico’s corruption and large unemployed population. It simply isn’t a good idea. Furthermore such a large portion of the US, especially in Middle America, are too fond of the US’s sovereignty and identity to ever dream of intermingling any aspect of our government or culture with Mexico or Canada. I surmise Canada feels the same way.

I doubt that the 3 leaders all agreed to passively hand over their power and national interests to some ill-defined tribunal. However, there are people out there that would like to see something like that happen. I don't doubt that certain anti-American types would like too see American independence and power diluted. A multinational tribunal government over North America would accomplish just that.\n\nRather than the one-North-American government that you envision here, I think there's an equal danger that we'll see balkanization of the North American continent over the next few decades. Canada almost split in two over a dispute centered around Quebec a few years ago. The U.S. is now somewhat polarized into "red" & "blue" states with different attitudes towards individual rights, tax policy, the role of federal government vs. states rights, and other issues. As long as the economic situation is weak, Mexico has the potential for division within its population. I think its just as likely that we may see regional movements where disenfranchised groups try to split off from central governments that are taking advantage of them.

I think the US and Canada get along quite well, actually.  We are like siblings sometimes.  We squabble over silly things, but when it comes to important things, I think we get along well, or at least agree to disagree.  I am a proud dual citizen, US/Canada and I love both countries very much.  There will always be ignorant people in both countries who verbally put the other down, but there will always be those uneducated, intolerant types.  Luckily, they are not the majority.

I am Canadian with many relatives in the US.  I have spent 35 years between the two countries and let me tell you, there are many social differences between the two countries.  I could spend the next two hours writing on the subject, but I will try to sum it up quickly and simply.  \n\nThe United Nations examines many cultural and social aspects when they determine their top 50 countries to live in list.\n\nLiteracy, infant mortality, life expectancy, murder rates, corruption, and poverty to list but a few. Using these aspects to measure a country's "status" as it were.  Canada has fallen on the list over the years to Norway, but for most of the 90'S we were #1.  The US was around the 25-30 area.\n\nI point out to my American relatives (all of whom believe that their nation is the best in the world, even though many have never travelled) that their communist neighbour Cuba has a higher standard of living than they do according to the UN.\n\nAs humble as we Canadians like to think we are, we are very proud and grateful that many of the negative social challenges that are ever present in the US don't exist here (at least not on the scale it is in the US).  I don't know one Canadian who would ever want our two nations to merge.\n\nWe have a relatively unknown multi-cultured utopia up here and we would like to keep it that way.

I am an American, and of course I have heard of Canada.\n\nI always say that I think the States is extremely lucky to share such a very long border with such quiet, friendly, polite, civilized neighbors!\n\nI have nothing but respect and affection for Canada and Canadians.\n\nIt is a beautiful country, and I, for one, was always treated well when I visited there.\n\nI have been to Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto, seen Nova Scotia, and visited small towns in the Western Provinces. Lovely cities, each very different, and very interesting to see. The small towns out West were charming, and very friendly.
