If Canada was a US state...how would it be different?

After the mass suicides, an underground network of truly subversive terrorists would take over. They would look like Americans, talk like Americans, but would be able to screen out infiltrators with secret code words like chesterfield, stagettes, and the proper pronunciation of "about." THey would lie about distances, telling you that the distance is a mile down the road, when they really mean 1.6 miles. They would answer questions with "Je ne comprend pas," or in an incomprehensible Newfie accent.

They would stage disruptive passive-aggressive protests south of the 49th, just because they can.

People whose names are Stephan, or Harper, or Brian, or Mulroney, would change their names to Louis, or Riel, or Lester, or Pearson, as an act of patriotism.

They would undertake a program of boring to death non-Canadians, and they would find it endlessly entertaining.

And after America has raped and pillaged all the natural resources Canada has, especially oil and gas, as well as water, America would leave Canadians to pick up the pieces and let Canadians be, well, Canadians - you know, boring, left-wing, earnest.

The US will never have a "state" which is larger than the entire US put together. It'll never happen, Canadians hate American policy as much as the rest of the world.

The Mounties would just be boring old State Troopers, the Queen would be more respected and they definitely would get NO good TV programmes on telly just all that American stuff.

The suicide rate would grow by millions of percent overnight?

I try to avoid thinking about it. You know, slight changes in history could totally screw up our non-American state of being.

Their money would come to equal ours. We would be able to work there. We would not have to buy the new passports. And they would loose the good healthcare they have.

wow i thought Canada was a us state they have every think else

The lovely image of Her Majesty won't adore the Canadian banknotes and coins anymore!

Wow thats a good question, i must tread lightly as i get reported for everything i say about canada.

First inflation would skyrocket. This is due to canadas monolopy money which is almost worthless

Second there would be many protests because Americans are the hardest working nation in the world. Many would compliain that the hours are to long and too hard. So this would be a complete change of the "laid back" and smoke pot all day attitude of our neighbors

Third there would be a huge increase in the production of flannels

and fourth they will try and push their liberal ideas on us but they wont get far becuase everybody knows that liberals never get into office anyway because they are just grown up hippies who dont want to work for a living!!

I think i have stayed clean and do not deserve to be reported. thank you and god bless

scruffy

Well, for one there would be a separatist movement and probably a civil war right away....

Is it not a US state?

canada doesn't want to be a US state...besides that it is larger in area than the total US..sounds a liittle incongruous to have a state larger than the country....also we canadians don't like guns..don't like the amount of predjudice in the US (not that we don't have some here)...we like our medical system...and we like our liberal laws on gay marriage etc...No trying to put down the US but you asked how it would be different and I'm trying to tell you what the differences are.

Canada traditionally votes left of even the Democrats. There would be fewer Republican governments. It would be like having a second California election time.

Free Trade would be Free Trade, and we would have the economic clout of Texas and Washington State combined given our electrical, oil, and timber resources. We would get our Billion Dollars back that the US stole in softwood lumber.

JZwigger is a total idiot and shows his ignorance by his remarks. Canada's money is not worthless as he states, the US currency which by the way is all counterfeit by the Constitution is so inflated so Bush can fight his totally illegal war that our currency is almost par with the US.

We do not want to be part of the USA because we enjoy our life here and don't need the huge gang violence that the USA has in almost all its towns and cities.

Canadians can work almost any American under the table and are very productive in what they do. By the way many of the automakers have huge plants in Ontario.

Most Canadians are quite Conservative and we have a much better health system here.

Canada is divided into 10 provinces and 3 territories all vastly larger than any state in the united states. There is no way Canada would want to become part of the USA so the question is mute.

Now for your information, I am a US citizen who now lives in and loves my adopted country...I would suggest before you make anymore defaming remarks you should come up here and visit this great country and see its diversity. Or do you still wish to spout off idiotic statements?

gun crime would rise in canada, canada would suddenly start moaning about oil and help to invade middle eastern countries also the inhabitants of canada would almost certainly get fatter.

why dont we just make the whole world into new states for america, it would be simpler and americans can have everything

H T5

it'd be full of crack addicts.

angel_girl2248

America would then have total control of the world lol.

Curious

It would be the state bigger than every other one combined....including Hawaii and Alaska the freak states... lol

Bob D

We'd have intelligent voters for one. Never happen....

all people from Canadian States would suddenly be dumbed down, lose their sense of humour, and become Americans,, much better if Canada did a coup and made all of the USofA part of Canada!!
