Umm how about no.

I say Canada and the US unite, and crush England...while leaving Ireland, Wales and Scotland well enough alone.

How does this teacher sleep at night?

I have a reading/essay assignment, a math assignment, and almost had a chemistry assignment.

You be quiet.

What help would Canada be? Do they even HAVE an army?

Free Health Care. That's what we got =D

I see, so every time you get shot, get healed up for free. Then go right back out. You guys are like super soldiers.

Pfft. All Britons are slaves.

I say rather than becoming part of England again, we just absorb it as another state. They can learn to drive on the right side of the road (take that how you will :p ), get lower gas prices, become part of the world's wealthiest nation, and benefit from some of the best toothpaste in the world. Because Lord knows hard candies are murder on your teeth.

It's not like Britain isn't America's #1 Best Buddy in All Things, anyway.

I read a really funny alternative history book in which America essentially gradually absorbed western European countries as states into the union, starting with Britain, then France, etc. I think it happened because (in Bizzaro-World) the Soviets had successfully encouraged Marxist revolutions (that failed IRL) in Greece and a couple other countries in the 1950's that led to the growth of the Soviet Bloc. So instead of the mere economic incentives of the Marshall Plan, the Americans panicked enough to somehow legally manuever provisions of NATO to gradually gobble up western Europe as states in the union. And so there was an entire passage early on in the book dedicated to the sheer irony of Britain being inducted as a state in the country that had once rebelled against it.

Anyway, your comments just jogged my memory on that one. Hopefully I'll remember the title or the author. I read it like eight years ago, though.

Canada's probably a great place but I will always have a little bit of contempt for them stealing the greatest three letters for their defense website.

If it makes you feel any better, all their activities require dice rolls.
