Should USA annex Canada?

[Meneldil]

@Meneldil: Canadians only pretend to hate the USA to remain on the good side of France, We also pretend to hate France to remain on the good side of the USA. Could get complicated if a American and a Frenchman is in the same room at the same time

Well, I'm actually kind of surprised by the average canadian's opinion of the US. I'm living in Sudbury (ON), and well, anti-americanism here sometimes get ridiculous, to the point that we french look like mere amateurs.
Mind you, Ontario is a rather liberal place, so for a while, I just blamed Bush and his politics. But things haven't changed with the latest election, and people seem to dislike Obama just as much as they hated Bush.

I also blamed it on the fact that I'm in political science, where people are most often rather leftist, but people from other background seem to more or less have the same opinion.

About France, it is very much oppsition to US policy that cause a lot of resentment, but also Frances social politics have lessened American's opinions of them somewhat.

Opposition to the US policy is a good thing. Allies are not only there to follow you blindly but also to tell you that you might be doing wrong.
As for our social politics, they are not news. We've been having great social politics since 1936 (and would have been the spearhead of social democracy since 1848 if it weren't for all the reactionary counter-revolutions we had to deal with), and things are unhappilly changing lately. Can't see how this would cause America's anger only now. Looks more like another attempt to bash France because it didn't blindly jumped into the 'coalition of the -stupid- willings' bandwagon.

Back on topic, Canadians literally only define themselves in opposition with the US.
Tim Horton's is awesome because it's better than Dunkin' Donuts
Canadian Healthcare is awesome because it's better than the US healthcare system.
Canada is awesome because it provided shelter to afro-american slaves
Monarchy is awesome because it prevents abuse of power
Etc. etc.
It does not matter that Americans and Canadians are actually pretty similar (at least to an European). The whole canadian identity is built through opposition with the US. I can't see how annexation would work.
