Conglomerates and American companies often call Canada the 51st state. To some extent it is...when looking at car sales or whatever.

It's an incredible place. Honest. But I was also being honest about the 51st state remark. Some companies only have a CA HQ to appease opinion. Others are blatant about running Canada marketing out of the US.

(90% of CA lives within 100 miles of US border.)

Well...we sorta did. It's the Ross Johnson approach. If you can't run a business properly...perhaps you can swindle somebody into overpaying for it...

I know. That's part of what's caused an upswing in the number of companies trying to promote themselves as truly Canadian. Nationalism's a growth indutry up here, for the first time since the 70s...

Can't we just diploannex a few countries? Israel can remain as a vassal since they'll have nationalism bug, and they're pretty poor, but the canadianp rovinces have a high tax value. Also, let's force vassalize Cuba and RM a few European nations to raise our standing in the world.

Oh yes, and force convert Saudi Arabia.

Greenland would be the cheapest, but probably because it is just one big lump of ice Not really that 'green' when you think of it

How about the Falkland Islands??

Positve:
1) a source of oil

Negatives:

1) British will not be too pleased

2) Argentina will be pissed


Does the one positive outweigh the two negatives?

Damn straight there, Sik.

Historical claim? I've lived here all my life and never heard of you Yanks claiming this land - jeez, most of the Loyalists fled here after you kicked 'em out in the late 1700s, they don't really wanna go back . (My family emigrated from Ireland way back when, so I don't think I've got Loyalist roots...)

Add to "Cons": 1/3 of population is francophone .

And we've got the largest oil refinery in North America, so shove that "lack of industry" .

Parts of New Brunsuick were claimed by the US in the 18th and 19th Centuries. Parts of Maine were claimed by the Brits. We made a treaty which split the difference. Then Britain pulled out the maps which said the US was right, and France pulled out the maps that said Britain was right., but we're not talking a hell of a lot of important land here.

In the late '80s, the US did try and purchase a land corridor through BC, in order to build an oil pipeline. Canada, obviously, said no.
