Should Canada have a Referendum on becoming part of USA?

[JuanGoodman]

"No two nations in the world are as integrated, economically and socially, as are the United States and Canada.

We share geography, values and the largest unprotected border in the world.

Regardless of this close friendship, our two countries are on a slow-motion collision course—with each other and with the rest of the world.

While we wrestle with internal political gridlock and fiscal challenges and clash over border problems, the economies of the larger world change and flourish."

we would have cheaper internet and cell phones and American Netflix

it's a win win

Let the people decide !

You should add a poll for a TERB referendum.
I would contend we are not as integrated socially as one might think.
I also dont think we are on any serious collision course. We just have an idiot in power down south.
We definitely do not share many American values.
So on that note, I would vote no.

 

[JuanGoodman]

So on that note, I would vote no.

but should we have a referendum?

 

[Grist]

Over my dead body

 

[oil&gas]

Make it a refendum on Canada becoming a vassal state of
the U.S. lest some voters will be misled to believe we will be
as well treated as the other 51 states.

but should we have a referendum?

I meant I would vote no to even having a referendum.
I cannot imagine myself as anything other than Canadian.

 

[JuanGoodman]

Over my dead body

you don't want a referendum?

or you don't want to be part of USA?

 

[SaturnFan]

HELL NO!! That orange pasty faced convicted felon is nothing but a bully and a thug!!

but why not let people decide?

 

[JuanGoodman]

again, all of you are just stating your preference

that is not my question

should Canadians have a chance to decide

not just you

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

but why not let people decide?

Well, I am speaking for myself here.
I am also sure most Canadians would say the same thing as you can glean from some responses here.

that's what you guys felt about Trudeau but that's not what Canadians want

maybe you are wrong again?

Referendum would be a democratic way

 

[JuanGoodman]

Canadians would say the same thing as you can glean from some responses here.

all I can glean from some responses is that people who responded do not understand even a simplest of questions, unfortunately

question is "should we have a referendum" and not "do you want Canada to be part of USA"

Well for one a referendum legitimizes a demand.
You would be acknowledging that there is "some support" in Canada for something like a merger with the US.
When it comes to protecting sovereignty and independence of Canada, such things cannot be encouraged.
Even if such opinions are in the minority and it is undemocratic to do so.
But despite my feelings about it, I think most Canadians would say no to both having a referendum, and to merging with the US.

it would be a simple question, yes or no

if you feel the majority would vote like you, what is the problem then?

 

[JuanGoodman]

all the new immigrants that Trudeau let in would vote yes for sure

they came to Canada as a second choice, they all want to go to America

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

There is no threat of Canadians voting otherwise.
But as I explained, it should not be encouraged because we'd be legitimizing the demand.

 

[JuanGoodman]

it should not be encouraged because we'd be legitimizing the demand.

what is wrong with "legitimizing the demand" if majority voted YES?

are you afraid that you might be wrong?
