It's economically better for everyone. We all depend on cross border trade. The border just makes that trade more expensive. Also, freedom of movement across all of North America would be beneficial to all. The list goes on and on.
Politically they're not so different either.....they have 50% blue state/red state. If Canada joined "blue" states would be the majority.

Even if you chalk up the blue states red states like that, i mean they just had freakin bush as their pres. Can you imagine if we had Bush as our pres? I don't know your religious beliefs either but the last thing I want is anyone with an open religious agenda like 90% of the Republicans leading my country. We can limit the cost of trade fairly easily without giving up sovereignty. Besides, oh okay i'll stop this is too war room. Go GSP. I don't thik he'd care about georgie boy either
