OK, so first there was NAFTA, which supposedly brought us all a little closer. Then the Europeans got in on the act, creating a union and even a common currency. Is consolidation among nations the trend? Is Canada destined to become the 51st through 62nd states?
The economic ties are there. Our McCulture is overwhelming them, despite their exports of hockey and bacon. Add to that the Quebecois (sp?) and their perpetual attempts to break off from the rest of Canada and the geopolitical impacts if they were ever successful.
On the other hand, some nations are splitting up. Remeber Yugoslavia? The Soviet Union? We are becoming ever more diverse; is the US headed down the path to eventually breaking up into several parts? Perhaps the Canadians are a secret menace to the north, waiting to swoop in during the confusion. Watch out, Dan, you know they have an eye on Florida.
Any thoughts, eh?
