klotzstang,

We agree on two things:
1. You don't want to join up with us, and we don't want to join up with you.
2. We've had some problems with Quebec and we are working it out. There is no hostility between Quebec and the rest of Canada, it's more like sibling rivalry.

Now let's look at the rest of your post:

"Eastern terrorist find a haven there."

What do you base this on? Given that none of the terrorists that have attacked the US were from Canada, what makes you think that Canada is a haven for terrorists?

"Non-English speaking Orientals run a good part of the economy."

That's news to me, and I've lived in Canada most of my life. It is true that we have lots of immigrants (in some of our major cities more than 50% of the population is foreign born), and some of those immigrants are orientals. It is also true that the new immigrants, especially older ones, sometimes don't speak English very well, but as long as we can understand them, we don't mind.

"German intrests, and German expatriots run the rest."

What? Where did you get that? I hardly know any Germans.

"You used to be able to visit Niagra Falls for a day or so without a passport, but so many undesireables were coming into the US, you now need a passport."

The passport requirement is a US initiative, not ours, so complain to your own government. How many undesirables crossed over from Canada? Do you have any statistics on that? Besides, what's wrong with passports? If you travel anywhere else, you need a passport too, so what's the big deal?

"Yeah, let's annex Canada, we do not have enough of our own problems. Then, we can pay out more welfare to people that never paid into the system."

Welfare? What makes you think that we want welfare from anyone, let alone you? You will probably need us before we need you. As one of our ex-Prime Ministers once said, you don't buy anything from us that you don't need, and we don't buy anything from you that we really need. BTW, I completely agree that the two countries should not join, and I will fight side by side with you to prevent it.

"And we just have to have it so we can have a border with Russia."

Don't you already have one? Didn't Palin say that one can see Russia from an island in Alaska and that she is keeping an eye on the Russians and when Putin raises his head...?

"Russians, the new illegal immigrant?"

Where? Most of our immigrants are legal, whether they are Russians or anything else.

'By the way, Canada is not a "major superpower. "'

No, it isn't, and we like it that way. There are advantages to being a small country, especially when that small country is so big.
