Would Canada accept the USA as the 11 province?

Absolutly not!! We wouldn't take the states if bush wrapped it up and  gave it to us with a bow. The states would screw up our economic triumphs and social gains. The us would only be a step in the wrong direction.

that's a good question, it almost became that way back in the beginning, I thought about this one for a bit and came up with this scenario; After the revolution the thirteen colonies would have made huge land grabs in their own interests,Everything east of the Mississippi would belong to the original thirteen with Georgia being the largest( the colony of Georgia would have taken almost all of the deep south just by the fact of her location alone) West of the Mississippi would be 4 or 5 large countries with Texas and California being the largest,The early 1800's would have been near constant warfare as countries fought over who would be the big dog. Spain and France would be easily tossed out with Georgia, Carolina, and Virginia taking the bulk of their land, The smaller northern colonies would form some sort of confederation to control a British presence in Canada,      Today we would probably look something like this; There would be probably a dozen different countries in North America today, each with a form of government similar to what we have now, some more conservative, some more liberal, a NATO type of confederation would exist for mutual defense and economic needs. I could see Texas, California and Georgia being three of the worlds top economic and military powers , as for what the world would look like, that's anyone's guess

I'd say it is highly unlikely. You would need the 16 component nations to join together. You would need them all to have Communist Governments and for all their leaders to perceive their interests as being best reflected in a new Federation. Thirdly, you would need Russia to be a great power and I don't foresee that happening for a whole range of reasons.

F*ck Canada, Alberta should separate and become a super-rich nation rather than paying 14billion per year to the federal government. BC can come too, their cool.

I have been to Canada many many times for my business and my husband used to work in Trois River.  I love Canada and I do think their system is much better than the system we have in the US.  I would love to live in Canada except for one thing:  it is too darn cold up there and I love the USA.  The USA has gotten off on the wrong foot the past 15 or so years but I have faith we can get back on track after the next presidential election.

I would love to have Canada as part or the USA. I think they would be a good and positive influence on us. But I don't think the Canadians would go for it. They think we Americans are all cucking frazy.

Not in your lifetime Sweetheart.  This is one country the US hasn't tried to invade for a couple of hundred years and therefore has no jurisdiction.  Besides Canada has Prime Ministers not Presidents...So don't worry about it...OK?

PR would be the 53rd state, after Afganistan and Iraq.  LOOK OUT, CANADA, YOU'RE NEXT!

Canada has a small professional force of about 50,000.  they have no seperate Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corp.  They are all "Candian Forces".  They serve in NATO and NORAD command functions and provide forces to NATO and the UN.  \n\nWe have more Soliders, Airmen, Sailors and Marines in North Carolina than the entire military of Canada!

NO. Canada has no opportunity for non-Canadians. Refer to http://www.notcanada.com/

Canada has a lot of oil. According to all the liberals, that is the only reason Bush invaded Iraq, so it makes sense that Canada would be next. Plus it's closer to home.

Parts of Canada have considered joining the US occasionally. For example, the reason that the rail line going to British Columbia was built was because BC was considering joining the US if it was not built. \n\nThe US had hoped to annex parts of Canada in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, and the "Patriot War" of 1837. The phrase "Manifest Destiny" was sometimes used as a shorthand expression for the notion that the United States should occupy all of North America. During the Polk administration, the slogan "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight" was used to describe where the Americans wanted the border with British North America to be drawn. In the Oregon treaty of 1846, the border was placed at the 49th parallel instead for most of western North America (except for some confusion around Angle Inlet, on the Minnesota-Manitoba border).   \n\nCanada and the US have very different cultures. Being a dual citizen, and having lived half my life in one of the two and half my life in the other, I can say this with a lot more authority than Canadians or Americans who occasionally visit for vacations or for business or for shopping, or know the other country from watching TV and movies. The two countries are quite different in many ways that are not immediately apparent unless you live for an extended period in both. The citizens of both countries have huge misconceptions about the other country, both positive and negative. I suspect that the cultures of the two have never been the same, and are not really getting any closer with time, even in the era of easy travel and communications. I think a merger would be very difficult for this reason.\n\n- - - - - - - - \nmoreacidthanalkaline, you are incorrect. The US has gained territory by invasion, or attempted to, repeatedly:\n1. it seized land from the indigenous peoples\n2. all of the American Southwest acquired from Mexico after an invastion in the Mexican-American war. \n3. the invasion leading to the Aroostook War (on the New Brunswick-Maine border)\n4. repeated invasions during the War of 1812, the Revolutionary War and the Patriot War of 1837\n5. Hawaiian acquisition might be viewed as the result of an invasion of sorts \n6. Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philipines were annexed as the result of the Spanish-American War; not exactly an invasion, but still aggressive action\n7. American Samoa\n8. Florida was acquired after an American invasion\n\nAnd many other more minor examples. There are plenty of examples of aggressive American action in the past, some that resulted in the acquisition of territory, some that resulted in the acquisition of influence, power, markets etc. \n\nI do not think the US wants to acquire Iraq. I would say that would be one of those most unlikely events ever.
