Not it is not time. Nor is it time for a North American Union.

Nope - that is what criminals do - and no one has the liberty to engage in such reckless behavior.

There are almost no countries on Earth, I would want Canada to be less integrated with, than the USA.

It's time to also be able to move and work freely between those two nations without any need to obtain citizenship and green card just like EU nations.

Canada should be like a US State, and USA should be like a Canadian province, yet still different nations.

Why is it you freaky people just LOVE the "citizens of the world" nonsense? Tell me something... Since you OBVIOUSLY fantasize about this utopian fantasy, SURELY you wouldn't mind living under Sharia law, or would you?

You see the thing about your delusional "citizens of the world" nonsense is someone will ALWAYS try to be the boss and they will rule in ways you certainly won't like. Why is it you communism romantics can't ever see the harsh reality that goes with your utopian delusions?


Don't we have enough trouble just trying to maintain our own country? Now you want to go and throw other countries into the mix?


I wonder if instead of hitting on a bong while living in mom's basement, you actually tried taking part of reality... getting a job, working at buying a home, having a family, etc., you might learn a little. Because while this country is going to hell in a hand basket, it still is the closest thing to liberty in the world... and turning it into a free for all will NOT make it better.

We already have enough liberal elements to deal with here - so it makes sense to provide some mechanism of quarantine.

I could see me warming up to that idea... quarantining the leftists.

You know how badly your porous border with Mexico has hurt the USA?
A porous border with the USA would be the ultimate disaster for Canada and by the way, it will NEVER happen!

Your lefties are a tad conservative for me. We have enough of our own conservative voters. Keep your version of lefties.

Keep your liberty and your second amendment on your side of the border. That goes double for your Republicans. Thank you.

American woman, stay away from me
American women, mama let me be
Don't come hangin' around my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
I don't need your war machine
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, I said stay away
American woman, listen what I say.

Up until recently you could cross from Canada into the states quickly and easily with no questions asked...Then after the 9 11 panic...We Canadians actually need a passport to get in. What was an open border is no longer open as it once was. There is only one thing that I feel apprehensive about if the border was actually non-existent - would be the flood of illegal immigrants coming north...We do not have the millions of illegals that you have- Our illegals number only in the thousands.. The other thing is criminality and gun importation. We never had much of a gun problem until only in the last decade...All of our illegal fire arms as shipped from you to us....America would have to provide some security services that would guarantee that the movement of arms into Canada would be severely curtailed...Other than that- I don't have a problem with a united Canada and America...Just don't bring in Mexico.
