Should USA annex Canada?

Sorry, that was rude, but do you get coverage of French social politics in the states? I've been there alot & try as I might have found it almost impossible to find any news outside of the state I was in.

Don't get so bent out of shape. I am not insulting France, simply stating the truth about what many Americans think. France was thrown into the spotlight during the Iraq War and people looked for reasons to criticise France. Everything from fashion to social policies were chosen as fair targets. I don't think there are any Americans who really do not like the French (unlike my experience in France has shown me about the French opinion of Americans), but there is a cliche that France is a country with a socialist socio-political structure that is causing corruption, crime, and unemployment to skyrocket, as well as that all the French are stuck-up, snail-munching hypocrites who like to think themselves intellectuals. I have lived in America all my life, so I dare say I know American sentiment better than a European. I never said I thought that about the French, I simply stated that regretably it was the case. Chill

EDIT: Oh yeah, and your comment about France being across the ocean is pretty much moot. Just because a country is across the sea does not mean we are not interested in it. You can say the same thing for America, why would Europeans be interested in America? It is across a sea after all. This is not the 16th century.

I think you just made his point for him.

I don't think Canadians hate the USA so much as they detest Canada being thought of as an addendum to the US.

We tried, on 3 different occasions, to take Canada for ourselves. We got whipped every time we tried. Not bright to try again, and that is what an annexation effort would entail.

They want to come join us of their own free will, fine by me, but I'm happy enough with a friendly neighbor to the North.

lol Seamus, I do not think anyone was serious about that. :P Unless I am greatly mistaken, every post about it, including the thread starter was in jest. To be honest with you though, I do not think I would want Canada to enter the States if they begged. Not anything against the Canadians, just how the heck would our flag look then with 51 stars? We have to stop that at all costs. (unless maybe we merge Canada into Alaska...or maybe if we just sell Hawaii to Cuba...)

I like France. As evidenced by my user title
