  1. US national identity is far stronger than Canadian national identity. I don’t see that happening. Besides regional conflict between Americans is a rare event in history.

  2. Agree but I highly doubt that either Ireland or South Africa would join

  3. Why do you say that? Actually Precedent in our history does show cycles of division and violence followed by growth and expansion "economic, territorial or otherwise."

  4.  @d544  Not all immigrants are equal. The fact that ever nation on earth were founded by immigrants or the descendents of immigrants doesn't mean that ever nation must accept immigrants from everwhere all the time.

  5. You forget that the U.S. and Canada are strong allies.

  6. For now, and not unprecedented, U.S. has had periods of division before, e.g. the Civil War. plus the U.S. has a far stronger identity that Canada. How are we more individualistic than you?

  7. Wrong The Libertarian party is not a moderate party. They are right wing party that votes with republicans on economic and some social issues. No one really likes them, even Republicans get annoyed at them. Centrism in US politics exists as factions in Democrat or Republican parties. Americans have broadly given up third parties and so the only hope for moderation is one of the two parties making appeals to independent voters

  8.  @ladyselenafelicitywhite1596  They would not join While they speak english and do have some cultural and ethnic ties to Britian and her former white colonies, the Irish do not have a love for the British who inserfed them in the 17th century. They do not share the same relationship with the Anglosphere they way we do with ourselves. Ireland afterall refused to join WII. It would just feel so out of place to both them and the Anglo Sphere for them to join. Also a United AngloSpere, would act similar to the british empire. sort of, it would be something to the effect of an Anglo-American or British-American Empire. That is divided between the power of the United States and the the other nations which have the same monarch Also and this gets back to the point about Ireland Language shouldn't be the only criteria, Nigeria and Ghana both have their official languages as English, however they are very much culturally distinct from Britain and her former white settler colonies. Thus I am hesitant to say that they should join. Though an acception should be made for Jamaica, Belize, Trinadad, and the Bahamas given how small and powerless they are. Lastly establishing a United States style government would not tennable given how centralized the U.S. gov is and that ruling over a geographicaly divers domain would be diffictult. An EU style gov but more democratic would make more sense. All nations involved would share the same foriegn policys, commit to certain goals and beliefs, with easy travel and free trade being established between member states. Perhaps and ammendment to the U.S. constitution alowing someone from a member state being allowed to run for office.

  9.  @Funnybriton  there is an Implicit goal of the United States to eventually encompass, at least parts of Canada. Though we would never try force again.

  10. Recently, for most pf our history our politics was stable and moderate.

  11. Anglo-Canada was founded by Americans, for the most part, that is what he meant and said.

  13.  @Hero_Of_Time94  That doesn’t contradict anything I said

  14. Anglo Canada is culturally and ethnically similar to the U.S. and so as long as the adapted to our political system would do fine as states. The phillipines is far a way, and the reason why Puerto Rico was made a state in the early 20th century was because they are catholic and hispanic

  15.  @majorsynthqed7374  I meant to say "wasn't" made a state, my bad

  17.  @rolandtours8404  You didn't answer the question, how is the U.S. more individualistic than canada.

  18. He meant why cannada hasn't given into to populism and nativism.

  19.  @murrayharmata6483  Until it stops bringing finanical benefits. And until the Canadian elite become to corrupt and terrible. You missed the point entirely.

  20. You seem ignorant of American History. Divisive politics have happened before. The U.S. Civil war for example. The U.S. will most likely survive. Besides we have a stronger purpose as a nation than Canada.

  21. Perhaps Canada should have more children

  23. The U.S. has had division before. whats happening now is not unprecedented.

  24.  @one5e  Canada is a Western nation, the U.S. would not desire to wage war on a western nation.

  25.  @SamSepiolTheHeretic  Okay, my point still stands

  26. Anti immigrant sentiment will probably emerge prior to immigrants making up a majority

  27.  @permets2apollox453  Possibley but the CCP won't allow that Better alternative would be for the U.S. and Australia to take in Hong Kong refugees

  28.  @KaitlynBurnellMath  The American Revolution not Civil War, the Civil war happened in from 1861 to 1865. Yes Anglo Canada was for the most part founded by American Loyalists in the 1780s and 1790s.
