Is It time for Canada to become USA's 52nd state?
It seems that the time is right. They always have ridden on the US's coat tails and have usually always gotten the better part of the bargain. If The USA went away, their economy would shut down, refuges would would be trying to sneak into the US. I can see it now, desperate Quebecers swimming the St Laurence river. Instead of 'wetbacks' I figure we would call them 'popsicles'.
Which brings up why I think that should be the 52nd state and not the 51st. Mexico deserves the next statehood. After all they actually used to own a lot of the southwest and are in the process of moving back in. The US has been supporting them, as we have Canada for centuries. I figure Mexico would bring a positive vibe to the country. At least they are willing to work and have decent food.

If Hawaii hadn't been a US territory with a large naval base at the time that WWII began then Hawaii would now be occupied by the empire of Japan, along with most of the Pacific islands and large swaths of southern China. And there's no telling what condition Europe would be in. Native Hawaiians may think they're living on the most isolated place in the world, but truthfully Hawaii was the fulcrum of the 20th century and things could have been much worse, for the rest of the world and for them.

Canada is not an itsy bitsy country as you referred it was. France first established a colonie over here and guess what, no witch hunt Then we were invaded by the brits, they took away out religion and right to speak french, as Lord Durham said, assimilation through immigration. Them the 13th colonies happened. Then there were tension between the colonies and england. Then quebec act came releasing us from the TEST OATH which INFLAMED the colonies. (check out wikipidia) This was the final nail IMO that sparked the American revolution. As for the rest of Canada, they are composed of english immigrant and Loyalists that were kicked out of the US because of their support toward England. Then came the Irish one of my roots, Chinese, Italians... Canadians are very proud to say, I AM CANADIAN as much as Americans will say how much they are proud to be Americans. BTW, Mexico is really getting a sweet deal these days, awwwwwwwww http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnw/2006122...ttle&printer=1 Now those hot popsicles can get a fat check at home, illegals or not. As for Hawaii, i'm sure they would have passed the honor of becoming a state if they had a choice. WWII or not, they still were invaded in the rudest way possible and that wasn't done by the Japs either. So NIC Canada is basically a bunch of rejected US citizens, English immigrants, Quebec our royal thorn in their @ss and immigrants from various countries. And in the end..... The american indian natives, the Hawaiians would be bewildered reading this shit as to whom was here first for they were in the beginning way before small pox hit that nation that truly was america. NIC, that shit happened, deal with it. If you consider Hawaiians as citizen of the US, atleast deal with their past and how they became a part of your 'great' land of the free country. Like I said, the price tag is way to high, let mexico be the 51th state for now. J'adore la façon dont certaine personne se croit le nombril du monde a cause de son affiliation partisanne LOL!!! |

Well if you wanted to get technical, if Mexico were admitted to the union it would comprise states 51 through 81, not that it's ever gonna happen. Canada would then be states 81 through 94.
Nic, 50 states is plenty. Canada and Mexico already have republics of their own with democratically elected governments; they don't need ours. Individuals who want to become Americans have plenty of opportunities to do so, but not all Mexicans want to be Americans, and obviously most Canadians don't want to be Americans. What's with this fascist desire to absorb all of North America into the United States? |
