Anyone ever watched the CBC mini series H2O ?
Canada has about 10% of our neighbour's population count, while flushed with natural resources they are running out of starting with clean water. If they go full far right, we become 51.
Doubtful we'd be allowed to be a state. A Puerto Rico scenario would probably be best case, or more likely, Afghanistan.
Exactly .... we would be kept independent politically ... but dependent economically ... why would anyone want the expense of making us comfortable when they could just take all the wealth without the cost of governing a bunch of people.
They want the resources ... not the country.
Which is basically the situation we've been in since NAFTA was signed.
Exactly what I thought when I read the headline. One of the reasons we are relatively safe its because our neighbor protects us, but if they turn against us we are f*cked.
We would have options in that scenario. Europe and it's nuclear powers might be persuaded to protect us, and failing that it's said we're months away from a bomb ourselves. Now, living right next to an unfriendly US would be rocky (while biologically possible), people might want to give up just for California lettuce.
