I don't thik that if the USA wanted us they could just take us. Well, they could, but there would be tremendous reprecussions from Europe, to say nothing of the other "nations" of the world, if this were to happen, IMHO.
Its one thing to invade an Iraq, but to invade a Canada is like picking on the one guy everyone seems to like. Even if no one punches you in the nose for it, to say nothing of everyone jumping you, passive-aggression will work it's will.
In the end, I think that we have problems enough keeping Quebec, that they idea that Canada join an even larger union is absurb and just looking for trouble. Of course, it would be nice if we took our military obligations to ourselves a little more seriously, in terms of funding, up-to-date and operational hardware, a little more integrity amongst the Brass, and alittle less input from "Pacificst-Joe".

In any case, this is all a bunch of bull, the country is doing just fine, and always will be. I'd worry more about China than America.

Maybe, but I don't see the Chinese saying, "Give us your waterways or we'll screw your economy up so bad Dickens will look like the good old days." Softwood lumber, SARS, Mahar Arar, the eastern power outage, mad cow,....
Just saying.
