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.

This can certainly be argued both ways. Sure, it takes away from jobs at home.  But it has helped to cut costs, streamline organizations and boost profits (which has positive effects on the economy). It strengthens relationships with these countires. I am Canadian.  Working for an American company. I've worked for a few US companies.\nThe U.S., or any country for that matter, can not, in any way possible, supply itself with the materials and support to be entirely self-sufficient.

Canada is a good neighbor, but I think they have a bit of an inferiority complex. Beautiful country nice place to visit.  Relations will probably improve now that a Conservative is in office.  We had some great times during the Mulroney-Reagan years

You are absolutely right but unfortunately I don't see it changing anytime soon. History has shown us time and again that as the gap between the haves and the have nots widens, empires crumble. America will ultimately complete its cycle as the dominant world empire and some other empire will rise up to take its place. If our "corporate leaders" were not so focused on short term profit maybe the process can be slowed down somewhat. But in our present economic climate, where worldwide corporations have no allegiance to particular nations, I don't see that happening anytime soon

Canada....our crime rate is lower...health care is better...(proven by 2005 Harvard (American) study), we are not hated around the world, we have a better social safety net.  I love Canada.  I don't hate our friends in the states....they are relatively the same...just some poor political angles.

Let's NOT assume there's going to be a world government, get RID of that idea...other countries need to work a lot harder at solving their own problems instead of trying to vote themselves into the United States or whatever...

Although it is possible - I don't believe it will happen in the near future.\n\nUS and Canada have good economical and political relationships, and both are members of G8 (8 major economies) and they formed NAFTA (along with Mexico).  But I don't think people will want to make another union - at least Quebec will be against.  and anyway - when a country is TOO big, the governance is getting even more difficult, the inner tensions are getting even bigger...  So I don't believe that in 80-100 years that can happen...

OH CANADA ALL THE WAY!  free health care, good education, wonderful wildlife, clean air, nice ppl a it's liked around the world.  its always top 5 in best education or best country to live.  i don't even know if the US makes it onto the lists. however there are some nice parts in the US but overall Canada is where its at.\n\nIn response to democracy, Canada's govt is way more fair and equal than the US.  look at the electoral voting system in the US.  and Canada doesn't have a senate.

Hopefully.  Canada has been doing it for a long time now, and their air and streets are much cleaner than the US.

What's the question? Canada has a fairly lax immigration process, the US is more rigid. People illegally enter both countries and siphon resources away from citizens and legal immigrants. The US INS has a PR problem, and our reactionary politicians generally only add fuel to the fire.

You might want to educate yourself before asking questions such as this....here, did a little research for ya:\n\nEconomic Impact\nIt is difficult to overstate the impact of international trade on the economies of Canada and the United States. In 2000, 43 percent of Canada's gross domestic product was comprised of exports and over 30 percent of total employment in the country was supported by exports. With 86 percent of all Canadian exports last year destined for the US, it is clear that trade with the United States creates an enormous number of jobs for Canadians.\n\nThough the United States is not as export-oriented as is Canada, international trade does contribute significantly to the US economy. Last year, U.S. exports of goods and services comprised roughly 12 percent of the United States' GDP. (Exports to Canada accounted for roughly 20 percent of all US exports.) It has been estimated that nearly two million jobs in the United States are supported by US exports to Canada.\n\nOf Canada's 2000 imports, 74 percent came from the U.S., while 86 percent of Canada's total exports were shipped to the United States. The volume of Canada-U.S. trade last year was far greater than the total amount of Canada's trade with all of its other trading partners combined.\n\nIn 1994, the fundamental principles of trade liberalization established by the FTA were further expanded, both in terms of scope and coverage, under the North American Free Trade Agreement, which added Mexico to the regime. These trade agreements have helped fuel unparalleled economic growth, with bilateral trade between Canada and the United States nearly tripling during the past twelve years.\n\nThere's more at the link below:

It is a possibility.  There are a few countries, including India and China, which are starting to gain in power and strength.  This is a good thing for world stability.  It is unhealthy for one country to be the ultimate superpower and to think it can run the entire world.  Increasing power gains by other countries will challenge the US and "put it in its place."

It depends on what you are looking for.  "Better" is a word that can mean anything, and can be defined only by the person using it.\n\nPeople in both countries are very friendly, kind, helpful and caring.  They have many of the same aspirations and goals. They want the same things  or similar things for their children.  They both have strong family values.  Both countries care strongly about their citizens, and citizens of both countries care strongly about thier countries.  For the most part, they have similar cultural and ethinc groups.  Both countries have a very strong second language group - French in Canada, Spanish in the US.  Both countries have similar good records in terms of acceptance of different cultural groups, but also similar problems in terms of cultural and ethnic misunderstandings, intolerance, and prejudice.  Both countries are trying to deal with various controversial social issues, each in its own way - abortion, same sex marriage, medical cannabis, etc.  In the US these issues tend to be dealt with state by state, while in Canada they tend to be dealt with nationally.  Both countries have a democratic form of government.  Both countries have a federal/national government as well as state/provincial governments.  Both countries use English as its main language.  Both countries have great variety in terms of landscape, geology, coastline, etc.  Canada and the US are each other's best trading partners.  We share professional sports organizations - the NHL, etc. and interest in the same sports - hockey, baseball, football.  Players from each country play on teams in the other country.\n\nCanada has the US beat in may ways.  In Canada, there is far less crime, though crime in Canada is increasing.  Health care is free to all - no insurance needed, and no matter what the care that is needed.  Many professionals are paid more in Canada than in the US - note teachers and day care workers especially.  Believe it or not, the cost of living is much lower in Canada than in the US.  Care of seniors and those with special needs is better in Canada.  Contrary to what a previous person answered, the education system is much better in Canada.  Elementary and high schools are much more progressive in many ways.  University and college education costs much less in Canada than in the US.  Canada's social services safety net is much better.   Canada does much better with recycling and protectin the environment.  Canada has much more pure water resources.  Many public schools in Canada still allow the Lord's prayer as part of daily life.  \n\nHowever, in many parts of the US the weather is much better for sure.  There are more opportunities for employment, simply because the population is so much larger, which automatically creates employment.  Travel throughout the US is much easier and cheaper than travel throughout Canada.  The US dollar is more acceptable and well known in the international market place.  There are often more choices in the US in some ways - what to do, food, where to shop, etc., again related to a much larger population.  In the US people are much more dedicated to their flag and wear their patriotism much more openly than Canadians do.  The US is an easier country for retired people in some ways, including employment, and a less stressful climate.\n\nI could continue.  So I hope this answer helps put some perspective on this question.  Canadians and Americans have more in common, I think, than they have differences, and neither country is overall better than the other.  they each have their good characteristics and their problems, just like any other aspect of our world.

I say let's have a united North America.  Canada, US and Mexico.  We have great natural resources to the north, a great labor pool to the south, and if we could just make friends, we'd be the strongest nation in the world.\n\nUnfortunately, I have heard that Canadians are not so much proud of being from Canada, as proud of NOT being from the States.  So perhaps it would not be easy.  Certainly there are Americans with real hostility to Mexico, or The Wall would not have been proposed.\n\nAnd as for that wall, I consider it an abomination.

Canada like any country wants skilled workers who will positively contribute to the country and economy.

Yes, the U.S is one of the best places to live...we are also one of the world's powers, plus it would be good for the economy.
