Quote:Pfft, never going to happen. Sure, right now a lot of people are all OMG Globama! USA is A-OK! But from a practical point of view, Canada will never be absorbed into 'Uhmerca, nation or continental union wise. Why?The reason Uh..Mericans claim to be from Canada, is that no one can get angry with Canada. So... What other English speaking country (which is getting harder since the past few decades has seen American English drift even farther from English) might we pretend to be from? Personally, I'd go for Belize myself.
What will obnoxious american tourist overseas claim they're from? Mexico? I highly doubt that.
