Annex Canada, Mexico, New Zealand and Australia? by Patriotic American on 2002-02-24 21:17:30

Should the United States expand a bit? In my mind, we should offer the provinces and states of Canada, Mexico, and Australia membership in the union. New Zealand might also become two states (north and south island). Many economic and other benefits await us if we do this, and how could it hurt to ask. Patriotism is more than nationalism. What do you think?

Mexico couldnt give two shits about being split into states, they are all trying to escape here anyway. I do think it is a little far though trying to get to Aust and NZ, we should keep it localized.

I'd like to travel to the Florida Keys wihtout having to pass an annoying border. However, I do have a number of requests if invasion were to occur: 1) Winnipeg and Quebec City get NHL Teams again - Final! 2) All beer in Canada AND America have to be at least 5% (I don't think anyone will argue with this). 3) Ok, this is just an idea but I think it would be neat to have maple leafs instead of stars.. or mayb ejust one big maple leaf in the upper left hand corner of the flag. Besides, it's easier to associate nationalism with one defining symbol than several stars and stripes anyways, get with the program America! 4) The Democractic Party maintains its headquarters in Toronto, since we'd mostly vote Democrat anyways. 5) You guys leave all the winter sports to us, and we'll leave the rest to you, seems fair to me. 6) Take French off of English Canada's signs and labels, and we have ourselves a deal! If you guys follow those six rules, I don't think there's a single CAnadian that would avoid invasion.. in fact, more would probably fight for it. But remember the beer rule if nothing else passes! Canadians sure woudln't mind paying less taxes, but if you take our beer away we will revolt so badly, it'll make Vietnam look like Grenada.

The point is not whether Canada, Mexico, New Zealand and Australia could beat us (they very well might be able to) its that we have a lot in common and together we would make a great nation. I love these four countries, and in many ways they're better than us. We a friends and we can grow closer, even if it doesn't mean full union.

We spend more on defense than the next 15 nations COMBINED. Second, these nations do not want to be a part of America, and it is not necessary for them to become an official part of America, we trade with them and ultimately provide thier defense, America is already an informal global empire.

Yes America has the strongest military in the world, but thats on its own. they notion was that the 'combined' forces of the four countries could defeat the US. and for the most part this is true - if you discount the fact that New Zealand really doesn't have a defence force and that Mexico's is probably screwed beyond repair. Australia and Canada still stand a good chance if they call in their friends - yes that's right Americans, you can actually be friendly with other nations. and the fact that the US spends more money than anyone else should be mocked. especially considering what that money is used for; lets not forget the 'son of star wars' project. Perhaps i shouldn't be using that, considering that both Australia and Canada are close to joining the program...

Doubtable, though they could all easily rally the rest of the world against us, and THAT could beat us. More importantly, how did Australia and New Zealand enter the frey? In regards to Canada, yes, that confederation is rapidly falling apart with the Quebec mess, and BC and Alberta forming a "western allience." Like with Florida, the Louisian conglomerate and Alaska, the US should buy most of Canada. Quebec can be left to do its own thing, since the French Connection isn't worth it (I've been there). Quebec would be happy, and the US would expand. In regards to Mexico, yes, though a mess, annexation would keep the current migration problem at bay. Mexicans who aspire to illegally come to the US would automatically be there by annexation, haulting the expansive mess. Though the US would have to encourage non-Chicano migration southword to prevent a Puerto Rican situation. Consequently, Puerto Rico should be allowed to become its own nation (as Cuba and the Phillipines, the other US territories picked-up after the Spanish-American war, were allowed to become free.)

On This Subject. Caution. Long Answer. by Kid on 2003-04-22 15:32:42  |  Reply to this   I always meant to go to America and not drink, y'know, while I still couldn't. There's a whole drinking and counter-drinking culture in the US that I don't understand. I'll divide it up. Firstly, American colleges are portrayed as drugged-up beered-up frat houses with parties all day, and little or no work being done. I know this is not the case. Get a grip. I'm guessing that British students drink more frequently (seeing as we drink every day. We're like less fussy versions of winos). Yet Americans, despite all this massive drink-a-thon they give us in concept can't actually drink to save their lives. Note the subtle irony in that, liver-merchants. Secondly. I understand that some people in America don't want to drink. I wouldn't want to be drunk in a country where there are that many guns. I'd say something stupid. Offending a lot of people is second nature to me. Really it is. But I kinda like the no-drinking ideal. Except it gives rise to people like the lovely (though impossibly shaped and impeccably bizarre) Jennifer Love-Hooters saying that they'd be crazy if they drank, thinking that a few childish pranks are crazy. The real glory of drunken fun is that those that enjoy it the most don't remember it, and you always end up with a cut. I've woken up with blood pouring down the side of my head - no idea why - in no pain, but been told I was 'crazy' by a lot of people. I think what I'm saying is this. "Life, like a lot of things, works a lot better when lubricated". Drink, in moderation, but a lot occasionally. Don't not drink, but you can not drink if you wish. Dang I lost it. Just enjoy yourselves and stay within the boundaries of the law, Patrick.

This allows rights to established by convention and protected by the High Court, and hence facilitates social progress so that you are not stuck with immoral rights or freedoms of centuries gone by -like the right to own a gun in the US. pavelvolinkiinss by pavelvolinkiinss on 2011-04-26 11:51:44  |  Reply to this   Admin, hello! here are having problems with your site. malware warning Write me. icq 989567856647 GaxpainiaMing by GaxpainiaMing on 2011-06-01 07:50:53  |  Reply to this   free rapidshare soft site softaojrgioo@opilon.com

Just like one of the other people said, The United States could be defeated by any of these countries. Here's some reasons: 1 Canada (and New Zealand and Australia) are in better relations with the rest of the world than the United States. An attack could mean outside intervention. 2 In the event of hostilities, outside influences from those countries could be ended, potentially ruining the economies of the western United States, who rely upon Canadian and Mexican oil, electricity and water, just to keep the place habitable. 3 The risk of losing oil would be to great for George W. to bear. There wouldn't be a war in the first place.

Just look and the agriculturial subsidies that the US provides its farmers, its as at the highest amount the WTO will allow. Whereas, Australia and New Zealand provide their farmers no subsidies and are actively providing access to countries, especially the developing countries. And there has been no negative effect; farmers had to become more effecient and therefore more productive. Trade has risen since subsidies were cut. More than half of Australia's trade is with developing countries.

Well, yet again we are all exposed to some good old American arrogance and suprematism. Not that American's should take offence in my saying that, it's simply part of your national psyche. But in response to what "Patriotic American" suggested, the world should take offence. Firstly, the term annex is insulting, given its colloquial term means ‘to take without right’. He could have at least suggested that Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand merge with the United States to lessen the insult. Secondly, and more importantly, it would never ever happen. None of these countries would ever agree to be subordinate to the United States, especially considering its form of democracy – or lack there of. And the fact that Canada, Australia and New Zealand would have to become republics first seems to have been overlooked (the only country where this would happen in the near future is Australia). In fact the only likely union of any of these countries would be of Australia and New Zealand. In has long been thought that New Zealand would eventually turn back to Australia to take is rightful place as the seventh state. New Zealand walked away from the Commonwealth (federation) of Australia before it was established in 1901 to attempt at its own independence. However the connection between Australia and New Zealand is much deeper than its shared history, they share the same culture. Whether a union between Australia and New Zealand first takes form as a customs union, eventually they will merge. There is already a movement within Oceania to establish an economic block that also has the potential to be incorporate in the Australian Commonwealth. Australia and the US have similar societies, our cultures in many aspects couldn’t be further apart. For example, America cherishes guns and is very passionate about its constitutional right to own guns, whereas Australia is consistently moving towards a complete ban. Additionally, in all four of the mentioned countries there is a sub-culture of anti-Americanism that would thwart any plan to ‘annex’ the countries. Australians, who do have a cautious love of Americans, have the motto ‘close, but not to close’ when referring to US alliance – which has never been stronger. We understand that we need America as a friend, and we have sacrificed to have them so. NB: If it weren’t for Steve Irwin’s conservation efforts, I’d say America could have him.

	The United States of America should stay just that - 'of America', and leave Australia and New Zealand alone. If Canada and Mexico wante cede into the United States (probably never would) than they can, and then it would still be the United States of America - or north america anyway.

I do not think the question being asked meant "take over" these countries, just if we should offer them to join the Union. This would not be the first time I have heard this proposal and likely wont be the last. Everytime I have heard this proposal it has been from people that really like Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, and Austrailia (though it has usually focused on just Canada or just Mexico). It has also usually been asked under the ficticious scenario of Canada or Mexica asking to be part of the union much like then independent Republic of Texas did in 1845. As for the term "annex," it is not ment to be an insult, it is simply the word America has always used to describe adding a state or territory to the union when that state or territory has asked to join (i.e. the annexation of Texas). Also, from what I can remember, British Columbia had debates over whether to become a state or province before asking to become a province of Canada. The United States and Canada share the longest (in terms of time) undisputed board and of all the nations in the world, whenever an American finds him/herself rooting for anything not American, it is usually for something Canadian (in things like the olympics). Americans feel there is a dirty aura around concuring new land by forse inorder to make it part of the US and when we have had to concur another nation (like Germany and Japan in WWII) we have always left them as seperate countries (unlike the former USSR and former East Germany) without even asking them to join. It will be a cold day in hell before the US tries to concur more land for itself. The only way the US will grow in size is if an unusially large margority of citizens from these nations ask to become members of the Unided States.

being from australia i spose my veiw is a bit more important then those of you in america, cause it'd have to be our decision or it'd never happen. Australians have i kind of love-hate thing goin with the US, we love the simpsons, but we hat it when you beat us in sport, we love Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, but we hate your gun laws, etc. Bits of your culture we take on, and others we reject. there are probably too many differences between us for it to ever become a reality, but globalisation is coming along. pretty soon we'll have the European Union, Asia, and The US. and probably Cuba all by itself.

	I just don't get you Americans. Why do you think that everyone wants to be apart of your country. As a canadian, I must say that I live a wonderful life. Thier is nothing that the USA could provide for me that I can't get in the great white north.

First of all i am pretty sure the dude was just joking. Also no, those four nations could not beat the U.S. That's like saying the Arab league could defeat Israel (gee, didn't they try?). America is stronger and more advanced than mexico, they would plow through it like Germany through Poland. Canada would put up a fight, but would be beaten. Australia and New Zealand would be the hardest, due to their far distance. There would probably not be any foreing intervention, China might invade it's neighbors in an attempt to take advantage of the chaos, and Europe would only mobilize to defend itself. However given time, the U.S. would beat them. This is due to more advanced technology and weapons. Of course the U.S. would have to implement the draft again to gain the manpower necessary to do all this. But the only country I personally think we should take is Mexico. Not all of it, just the northern territories where all the oil is. We could use it more than they could. Besides, all those mexicans are trying to sneak into America and Canada to rape their citizens of their wealth, jobs, and educations anyway. I agree with the man who said the only union really conciveable would be that of Australia and New Zealand. In the end I doubt good allies like America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand will ever fight against eachother. America needs its allies and its allies need it.

Our differences are minute and ephemeral. I would be happy to join the american union. Canadian culture is non-existant. Canada makes up 1/11th the population of our two countries, and economically we would be better served with the American system of government. Our existance is based on a long past British vendetta against America, and now that Britan and America are the best of allies, Canada serves no purpose. Canada must deregulate her systems and amalgimate with the U.S. if it wishes to have any say over what happens in the future. We speak the same language share a history of immigration and settlement and a desire to propogate the spirit of liberty around the world. Our differneces are based on propoganda by many years of liberal voice. We are not better than Americans. Our public school system has a liberal adgenda to convert all children into voting liberals. Few see the freedoms of a conservative mentality. It is time to toss the federalist monarchy centered system, and become a true republic. It is time that we grow up.
