Who wants a UNITED north america?

[Surreptishus]

'West Indians' or 'India Indians'? 

The 'India Indian' language is Urdu. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Many languages are spoken in India. Hindi is the official language. Urdu is the offical language of Pakistan.

 

Anyway, I have no problems with a European Union type united north america, but having Canada join the US... no. I don't want to be associated with the foreign policy of the US. Although with Harper in power now, and his backing of the US on their stance on Iran, It may look like Canada will be hated around the world too.

 

Canada and USA joining EU style wouldnt pose as many problems as with the actual EU. Also foreign policy wouldn't be directly affected... at first anyway. Its a unification of monetary policy, although this will affect all other areas in time.

[Dark_Raven]

That would be awesome! But then we'd have another language, French .

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Oh noes back to France they go.

[Surreptishus]

Would it kill you to stop being so bigoted?

 

 

edit: despite the "oh noes" it fits with a pattern of behaviour.

Anyone who uses "Oh Noes" saying is not being serious.

[Dark_Raven]

Canada does have a lot of land that could be used and I saw oil being mentioned. We would welcome them into the fold.

[Fenghuang]

Canada? What do they have to offer us? Moose? A food source. Trees? Lumber for constructing new buildings. Hmm anything else?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

One of the largest oil reserves in the world... oh crap... shouldn't have said that...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

Dude, we're totally invading you so we can give you democracy now.

Yeah, I get the two languages confused sometimes. Thanks for the correction.

[Surreptishus]

They actually sound very similar. So its easy to get them confused.

[astr0creep]

Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world and it also has something the US craves desperately, more than oil in the coming years and that is

 

water.

 

 

And we will never join you. Not until you fix your sh**.

[deganawida]

Heck, there's a number of states in the current US that could fall of the face of the earth for all I care, why would I want more territory added?

Its actually the same language.

[Walsingham]

I say you return the Eastern seaboard to us, and Texas to the Mexicans. Stir things up a little. It may not be sensible, but it would be interesting as hell.

Alaska has never been Canadian/French. We bought it off the Russians for a song and a dance.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I was also quite confused about that...

Yeah, but half the panhandle was ours but Teddy threatened war with the British so they caved in the negotiations. The deal with the russians was vague, it said that it included all the land up to the mountains. Problem was, they didn't know if they meant the mountains on the coast, or the mountains inland. Canada and the british argued it was the coastal mountains, while the US argued inland. If the British hadn't been pansies and just sided with their colony, then the Yukon would have a couple western ports right now.

I stand corrected.

 

"The news of the British North America Act, 1867, was nervously received in Washington, DC. It would create, on July 1, 1867, "one dominion under the name of Canada," and this led to expressions of "grave misgivings on the establishment of a monarchial state to the north" in what Canadians then called "the republic to the south." (See McNaughton's excellent Short History of Canada.) U.S. Secretary of State William Seward thus urged, and the United States Senate thus approved, the treaty authorizing the purchase of Alaska from Russia for US$7,200,000 on 9 April 1867. The United States took possession and the American flag was raised over Alaska on 18 October, which is commemorated as Alaska Day."

 

We got screwd out of our arrogance. USA - 1 Canada - 1 000 998

 

:D

[metadigital]

Hey, why not Indian as well?

The 'India Indian' language is Urdu.

 

Also, AU would be awful, it'd be confused with Australia, then again, maybe we can just annex them, New Zealand, Malaysia, and a few other Pacific Islands too!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Kiwis mightn't like that, and the US is terra non grata in Australia at the moment, but I still think they'd cede, eventually ...

SEE! We had to buy it to keep you redcoats in line. Getting a crapload of oil was just a bonus.

 

I wonder what $7,200,000 in 1867 is equivelant to in todays dollars.

[astr0creep]

Add a zero?

[Ellester]

Where the heck is the Hispanic race on that site. There is no way the US is 81% white. They must have lumped the Hispanics with the Caucasians... Canada predominately white, I

I would rather see Canada annex USA .. in fact I would rather see Europe annex the both of you .. we have more experiance with this whole "world police" thing.. ^_^

[taks]

As long as we have Canada's health care system and get rid of the Republicans and Democrats.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
