Then of course there are the differences in language.
EH is easily translated.

A very plausible scenario,but where did you fit our Monarchy into that? As Canadians of European descent,we happily and financially allow the Queen to still basically rule. Asians would not do the same. Going to have them overthrow all British rule?

It does about as well in the scenario as it did holding on to Hong Kong realistically.

Well I'll bite. I thought this thread was about joining our countries into one but you took it into a possible future scenario with China taking over as the worlds super power. There is little doubt concerning China's ambitions. There is a military conflict coming. I am not a war monger but I see no other way to preserve the free world from communist China. Since China's admission in 2001 into the WTO (World Trade Organization) they have snubbed every trade regulation there in. We live within a tsunami of Chinese consumer goods fueled by the multinational corporations who care only about profits. This has been the single largest reason for our economic reality today in both the United States and Canada if not the entire world. It's pretty easy to compete when you have 1.3 billion slaves at your disposal.
Apple, our darling little phones everyone can't live without employees 26 000 people in California and 700 000 in China where all their products are manufactured. They are worth billions and use slave labour to make it and we all line up to buy it. We need to wake up folks.
The large players in our mist like the Bilderberger types and the Bohemian grove types are feudal lords today as they were hundreds of years ago. Back then we could make a run on the castle and have their heads but today it's quite a bit different because they own governments, armies and police forces. We are done to them. They need new consumers. This is what terms emerging economies and globalization is all about. Even war to them is a mechanism to profit.
What a mess and how deep does the rabbit hole go. We can't solve it all here on ATS but we can inform ourselves. Stop buying goods from China. Walmart is Chinamart so stop shopping there. Capitalism, socialism, communism and all the other ism's are not the answer. We need something new. Competition isn't helping either. Sustainability might be a starting point to consider.

Hate to break it to the canucks who have it good at the moment....
You can make all wild claims, like "over my dead body" but this WILL happen AND just like what goes on in the States so slowly there isn't a damn thing you can do about it...
I'm not talking after the next elections, over the next...oh I'd venture 40 years and IF they want it to happen faster, there will be something that mandates it like war...
Truth is... none of you even matter in this, in 40 years your voices will be gone/diminished and you need to look at the demographics of the future not what you THINK should be the case...
1: treaties that are slowly vaporizing the ability to even tell the difference between the 2 nations happen every few years, one of the biggies will be a necessitated water deal sometime in our lifetime
2: Canada can resist US pressure about only as long as the US allows it to, 40 million people North 300 + million South and you are completely and absolutely dependent on us in case of war... Yes I can hear the giant scoff from up North but be realistic, there is only so far Canada can go in allowing ties with the USA to diminish, all the liberality you have like health care...dependent entirely on the US war machine, China needs a place to expand and your empty
3: back to demographics
The truth, you current canucks will be a minority by then... the reality china and India in fact have already invaded, NO, not with Tanks, with people... the Chinese call it "Peoples War" and with 2.6 Billion Chinese and Indians we don't even have a chance against the tide let alone Canada... what will be the capacity for the Canadian tune to change? A MASSIVE ASIAN populace that thinks about money not keeping a pristine wilderness intact...
Think I'm wrong? In both America and Canada Asians are the number one growing ethnic group, even in Mexico they come like a storm, while idiot Americans watch the border of mexico the TRUTH is, hardly any come anymore... more are going home because we are in a # state of affairs...
But on the West Coast... Asians, 20 locations around San Fran are 20% Asian by demographic at least 4 are over 50% and Doctors will tell you they are loading up houses and birthing them in... Just 2 months ago a very wealthy area of LA became demographically Asian... And that's the USA
How about Hongcouver, you can't even tell looking at a Photograph it isn't part of Asia but rather North America...
Let's not forget the economic zones the chinese govt is setting up...they aren't screwing around, you could claim this is immigration to major cities and always the case, but no... Chinese run locations in America include Part of Idaho and Northern Michigan and every home in detroit is being bought by a chinese person post bankruptcy for pennies...
But it doesn't stop with immigration and trade...
No one is dumb here right? We ALL know Fukushima is bad news right, when 10 Million Japanese show up eventually who else will take them but us and Canada, what will we do as Westerners say NO? You know we can't right?....
How about Taiwan? And South Korea? This is Ats right? We are aware here that the US govt sooner or later is in deep doo doo economically, that our off shore ability to project power will one day be unaffordable, there will be no more choice than when the Soviet Union fell to "let go" of some interests....
So when China takes taiwan back, does so with the tech they stole from us, and every taiwanese kid that can get on a boat arrives and ditto for when lil Kim starts thrusting his Dong into South Korea, both our countries are going to absorb a lot of freakin Asians...
Sorry but this is predictable stuff... Canada ALREADY has a larger percentage of Asians than we have Blacks and we have a Black president... and Unlike our Blacks (no offense intended here) Asians make a lot of god damned money...
The next wave is Asian... PERIOD, so is the MONEY
Right now Asian Immigration to America is higher than Mexican Immigration ever was and Canada has larger numbers and a smaller population...
So when this vote comes...
After years and even Decades of chiseling the boundaries away...
The Voters will be from an America that is 30% - 40% Asian and a Canada that might top 50% - 60% and every God damn company lobbying for it will be Chinese owned... in 40-50 years, if not sooner...
20% of Canada is no immigrant, 1 in 5 and we all know they have more babies than established Natives... and that's not including the 4% actual natives who are for all intents and purposes...Asiatic of origin, 60% of those immigrants are Asian, not including those from India as part of Asia...
This PRE USA collapse from the region and God knows how many that will arrive as Chinese power slowly flexes over the coming decades...
How do I know the trend will continue... Canada has the land, it's only 500,000 for an Entrepreneurs Visa, which for all Intents and purposes is the way to "buy in" anywhere you want, the Chinese have the Money as will Taiwanese, Japanese and south koreans fleeing china..and disasters and what have you... Lowly Americans like me can't afford that lol... but they sure can. They have programs to sponsor it...
So again...
When this vote comes, it wont be Us Muricans you dislike so much, nor you rednecks up North doing the voting... it will be the 7 children of your philipino neighbor and others.... with Chinese Lobbyists in your Governments pushing it and things of such a nature...
It will happen, you will be the crazy old white guy with a shotgun keeping all the little Asians off your Lawn when it does...
