literally the same culture and level of muttness, same history, same territory... Just give quebec their independence, we assimilate you and puerto rico and there you go, 60 stars on the flag and literally everybody wins.
Leafs get: >an actual flag >less bullied for being irrelevant >better prices >the opportunity to become part of an actual nation and not a joke like "canada" is >people a thousand years from now seeing you as a citizen of the greatest country on the history of humanity instead of a side-character. The we wuzzers from 3000 will trace their heritage back to you and be proud of it.
we'd get: >even better prices
Just stop acting like a bunch of hipsters and assimilate as soon as possible you bunch of pussies.
what compelled the British to defend Canada so much during the war of 1812?
Noah Price
This. Republican subhumans get fucked.
Owen Miller
Little brother cuck countries should just get swallowed up by their alpha betters, Russia had(has)the right idea
Cooper Moore
At this point literally just healthcare.
When (if) the US sorts that out you will probably see more people pushing to join.
Cameron Torres
We fought a war over the Falkland Islands, no country just gives up their territory. Better question is why did the Americans want Canada in the first place
Josiah Garcia
honestly, there's more difference between the west and east coast than canadians have with either. They are literally sissier americans but this will be solved in a matter of decades when assimilation begins.
Levi Scott
better question is why did americans not want canada in the first place, especially during the cold war. It doesn't make any sense, it's like a piece of history is missing or something
Liam Brooks
Because as it is Canada acts as a soft diplomatic proxy for the US. Canadians (with basically any degree) can work indefinitely in the US so they already have the labor pool, and have a ton of treaties so there is mutual access to natural resources.
The US has been soft annexing Canada for the past 80 years. I fully expect the next NAFTA rewrite (or the next-next one) will contain a customs union and that will be it.
Liam Brown

>dont even have a domestic league for their most popular sport
This is the most cucked thing about canada, how can a wealthy country dont have any worthy profesional sports? Its all franchises in american leagues and the CFL wich barely pays enough to be considered profesional
Caleb Reed
Canada and US share similar cultures, but they are by no means the same. American culture is very driven by “the American dream” and self empowerment, to the point it creates adversarial situations in many societal structures. Whereas Canadian culture tends to be somewhat more loyalist and collaborative. For example, generally Canadians view the government and police officers more favourably then Americans.
If you follow the genesis for both cultures, Canadians made fundamentally different choices from Americans in their respective early histories, and this carries influence until today.
As much as there are cultural differences with the québécois, Canada survived by in large because the British, the French, and many Native loyalists were able to overcome their differences and work together to defend the colony. American history, on the other hand is more defined by conquest with events such as the revolution and the civil war.
I have passed up job opportunities because I have zero desire to live in the states. The day Canada becomes a 51st state is day I emigrate elsewhere. Luckily, I don’t think that day will happen.
Jackson Gomez
>Canadians (with basically any degree) can work indefinitely in the US How? As far as I'm aware we have to go through the same tedious process of getting an H-1B visa that other citizens have to go through. The only alternative is a temporary TN visa if your profession is covered under NAFTA (and they pretty much all require a degree and having already found an employer)
Charles Lopez
During the cold war would be pointless. A better question will be, why not during the late 19th century where we could of pumped out a navy able to contest the British on north American waters. But the answer for this is just... Canada was poor as fuck back then, we already had the largest reserve of known oil, more timber, more iron and so forth. It'd make more sense to annex Mexico than Canada at any period in time.
William Nelson
>The only alternative is a temporary TN visa if your profession is covered under NAFTA (and they pretty much all require a degree and having already found an employer) Yes, an infinitely renewable temporary visa for basically every profession which pays better in the US. You can also (unofficially but easily) switch from that directly to a green card.
Brody Johnson
>For example, generally Canadians view the government and police officers more favourably then Americans.
Except for your traffic cameras, border guards, and a few cops in downton Montreal, I encountered no cops in Canada.
Here in the USA, "land of the free", cops are around every corner up your ass.
Elijah Sanchez
No, they are our polar opposites. Americans saying that we should annex them are brain-dead retards that should be shot,
Colton Johnson
>"Among the types of professionals who are eligible to seek admission as TN nonimmigrants are accountants, engineers, lawyers, pharmacists, scientists, and teachers." Fair enough but I think that "any degree" is a bit of an exaggeration
Dominic Bennett
Little thing called "War of 1812"...Canadian wanted so badly to suck the monarchy off they went to war and we said "fukkit" and let them stay with UK
I do wish they would join us and I think the world would be a better place if they did.,
Charles Moore
>polar opposites As far as comparing countries to one another, you actually believe this?
Exactly. Since there is less conflict within the society (and between the society and government), there is less need for the enforcement of rules by force. Canadian cops tend to serve more as a societal lubricant. American cops literally need to maintain the peace (and be criticized for doing so).
Justin Fisher
that's what must be boring about canada though. America has always something cool or engaging happening in the nation and i really enjoy this fast-paced lifestyle because i'd be bored as hell living in Canada or in the old world.
Jace Allen
>people a thousand years from now seeing you as a citizen of the greatest country on the history of humanity
The UK started a war over a shitty island by Vancouver with us once
Noah White
To each his own. I enjoy having a more stable and safe society which gives me more real freedom to focus on my interests, rather than needing to worry about what will happen next in the political circus, or whether I feel safe enough to go here/there/do this.
Henry Thomas
>Frogposter That explains why you're such a retard. America is America, Canada is Canada; keep it that way.
Chase Williams
We don't need the sort of cops we have here.
Most of them are little more than licensed criminals themselves.
Jackson Edwards
Name a country more similar to Canada than America and vice versa Mr Polar opposites
The fact someone like you exist is disgusting. You should publicly executed. Modern Canada is a ticking time bomb, annexing it would spell the end of the US. Leave them be, faggot.
Jackson Wilson
You do realize that, that exact line of thinking is a self-fullfilling prophecy. If you think that way about your cops and treat them that way, they need to worry about citizens that don’t respect them, which makes them more edgy in general.
Either way, it’s a chicken-and-egg problem. The cops behaviour also helps to enforce that mindset. Can’t be changed easily, but this is why the two countries are where they are.
Henry Stewart
Extremely based.
Austin Thompson
America started the war.
Henry Lewis
shouldnt we save them though? If you had a sissy brother and he was kidnapped you would just let him be raped to death?
Yeah we were trying to liberate Canada from UK. But they refused so whatever. Now they have to salute the Queen (who has ultimate veto over all their laws, the absolute state)
Caleb Reyes
>being an "independent" country who still kneels to some rich thot on the other side of the world
How cucked can you be?
Jonathan Thompson
And now they get have to suffer the horrible effects of going along with us, like a respected head of state, longer life expectancy, free healthcare...
Isaac Miller
MARG BAR AMRIKA
Logan Fisher
>respected head of state muh respectability.
>longer life expectancy have fun being old
>free healthcare thats just everyone besides for us cmon britbong
John Ramirez
While Canada recognizes the Queen’s ability to veto, the Queen recognizes Canada’s independence and agrees never to veto. So here abilities are mostly symbolic.
Trust, it’s a concept difficult for Americans to understand, since Americans are always so worried about people screwing each other.
Gabriel Turner
daily life in America isn't so bad. There's something for everyone and it doesn't take much to be comfortable.
Owen Jackson
trust me, canada basically is america at this point.. atleast the cities are wannabe america. the country will slowly fall suit soon. and us realizes there is not much worth working with canada is trudeau is trying to be pigheaded and stay strong against negotiations slightly against their favour. as if we really have a ground to stand on. not that hes wrong in his choices but, he should know whats best for this country. but in any case, even the people here think and speak like americans, with perfect american accent. it almost is no different like i usually say aside from the people being less fat and stupid
Blake Wright
It's almost like we've read a history book or two.
Dominic Parker
It was to drive the British out form North America and to put an end to the proxy war involving indians
>t. invaded 50 countries since WWII but didn't declare war once
Easton Harris
I don’t think America is bad. I love traveling there, and Americans in general are good people. I think I could live a happy life there if I wanted to. I just wouldn’t trade it for the life I have here.
Robert Wright
Please ignore my retarded countrymen.
John Nguyen
I don’t think others are untrustworthy, even Americans. I can trust Americans. I just think American culture has a trust issue.
Carter Ward

Nice cuckstamp
Mason Garcia
There was no Indian proxy war, William Henry Harrison invented it and Henry Clay pushed it.
